Progressive Central Artery Occlusion, Ophthalmic Artery Occlusion, and Hemispheric Intracranial Thrombosis after COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Application: Case Report
Thromboembolic events as a result of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination are a rare, though life-threatening complication. In this case report, we describe a 40-year-old female patient who developed central retinal artery and ophthalmic artery occlusion progressing to intracranial thrombosis 3 weeks after vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Initially, she presented with progressive acute and painless unilateral vision loss in her left eye. Dilated fundoscopy of left eye showed macular whitening with sparing of the area of cilioretinal artery distribution. Labs revealed a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-re...

E-021 Pathophysiology, stroke types, collateral formation and aneurysms in moyamoya disease/moya moya syndrome
ConclusionsMMD is presented most commonly with ischemic stroke in the pediatric age group and with hemorrhagic stroke in the adult age group. MMD-associated intracranial aneurysms frequently occur in patients presenting with hemorrhagic unilateral MMD and are associated with an extremely high rate of rupture. Long-standing hemodynamic stress might contribute to the formation of an aneurysm.Disclosures S. Ahmad: None.

Cerebral vasculitis associated with an Echovirus 6 meningoencephalitis —Case report and review of the literature
When a previously healthy child presents to the hospital with a stroke, generally a Varicella zoster virus vasculopathy seems most likely. However, other causes of a local cerebral vasculitis are possible and need to be explored.

Cadagan: Humor and tenacity after a stroke
Most parents try to discourage their children from indulging in humor about bodily functions like burping. But for Daniel and Lori Hooley, a simple smirk in response to a belch was the sign they needed that their daughter, Cadagan, was going to be okay.
It was 2012 and 7-year-old Cadagan was asleep, tucked into bed for the night. Around 11 p.m., she suddenly awoke — but it wasn’t because of a nightmare or a late-night request for a glass of water. Instead, she seemed limp and couldn’t focus. Then she began throwing up. Born with an extremely rare genetic disorder called trisomy 12p, the little girl had already experi...

Intravenous thrombolysis in SLE-related stroke: a case report and literature review
AbstractPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) bear an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, evidences for treating acute stroke due to artery thrombosis in SLE patients are extremely limited. A 45-year-old woman experienced sudden left hemiplegia. She was transported to the emergency department of our hospital 2 hours after the initial symptom. According to the medical records, the patient was diagnosed with SLE at the age of 28. CT scanned 150 min after the initial symptom showed no evidence of acute changes or hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed occlusion of the right proximal mi...

Ischemic stroke in Kawasaki disease
Abstract
Pediatric stroke is considered to be rare. Stroke resulting from cerebral vasculitis is also uncommon in young children. With the increasing prevalence of Kawasaki disease (KD) diagnosis, this acquired vasculitis has been reported with various clinical presentations including neurological symptoms. Herein we describe the case of a KD patient presenting with stroke. A 15‐month‐old boy was referred due to stroke that occurred on the fifth day of febrile illness. He was initially admitted to another hospital due to fever and diarrhea. He was discharged and re‐admitted 2 days afterward due to left hemiplegia. D...

Intracranial dermoid cyst rupture-related brain ischemia: Case report and hemodynamic study
Rationale: Spontaneous rupture of intracranial dermoid cyst is a rare but serious clinical event that can result in cerebral ischemia. Cerebral vasospasm and vasculitis are considered as potential mechanisms of dermoid cyst rupture-related cerebral ischemia. However, the hemodynamic mechanisms between cerebral ischemia and dermoid cyst rupture are not well known.
Patient concerns: A 55-year-old, right-handed man was admitted to our hospital with sudden receptive aphasia and right-sided hypoalgesia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a ruptured dermoid cyst and watershed infarcts in the left hemisphere. Then b...

A Case of Turner Syndrome with Multiple Embolic Infarcts
Only a few cases of Turner syndrome (TS) with ischemic stroke have been reported. Various arteriopathies of the cerebral arteries, including fibromuscular dysplasia, congenital hypoplasia, moyamoya syndrome, and premature atherosclerosis have been assumed to be the cause of ischemic stroke in TS. There has been no case report of a TS patient presenting with an embolic stroke pattern without any cerebral arteriopathy. A 28-year-old woman with TS was referred to our hospital because of abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. She underwent brain MRI at the referring hospital because she experienced sudden-on...
