Refractory status epilepticus due to SMART syndrome
Conclusions Taking into account clinical evolution and ictal neuroimaging studies, status epilepticus could explain the origin of these episodes in SMART syndrome. Although most patients have reversible symptoms, in some cases, aggressive treatment to avoid sequelae is needed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled “Status Epilepticus”.

Neuro-Behcet's Syndrome:Case Reports Emphasizing Challenges of Early Diagnosis (P2.075)
CONCLUSIONS: In both cases, NBS was ultimately diagnosed based on characteristic MRI findings, particularly fluctuating brain stem-diencephalic involvement, superimposed on supportive clinical and CSF profiles. Challenges to early diagnosis are highlighted by our cases and by the literature. The differential diagnosis is often broad at onset. Mucocutaenous symptoms can be a clue but may not be present. Awareness of NBS and its neuroimaging correlates is critical to enable timely diagnosis, particularly given that this condition can favorably respond to steroids and steroid-sparing agents.Disclosure: Dr. Feldman has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Thrombolysis Resulting In Acute Ischemic Stroke Recanalization Can Lead To Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome (P7.123)
Conclusion- Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke should be suspected in patients that achieve arterial recanalization and develop unexplained new neuropsychiatric manifestations.Disclosure: Dr. Ong has nothing to disclose.

Retrosplenial Amnesia without Topographic Disorientation Caused by a Lesion in the Nondominant Hemisphere
We report the case of a 68-year-old right-handed man who was admitted to our hospital because of sudden onset of headache. On admission, he presented with left homonymous hemianopsia, disorientation, and recent memory disturbance; however, he had normal remote memory and digit span. He was able to recall the room layout of his house and describe the route from the nearest station to his home on a map. However, at the hospital, he sometimes lost his way because of amnesia. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a subcortical hematoma in the right occipital forceps and the parietal lobe, involving t...
