High-resolution MR vessel wall imaging in determining the stroke aetiology and risk stratification in isolated middle cerebral artery disease
ConclusionHigh-resolution MRVWI can help in identifying the aetiology of stroke. The HRVWI characteristics in ICAD can help in risk stratification.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy: clinical presentation and risk of stroke and transient ischaemic attack
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of headache cannot reliably predict those at risk of stroke/TIA. Individuals presenting with acute posterior multifocal pigment epitheliopathy should therefore undergo a clinical neurological review and work-up for cerebral vasculitis as deemed appropriate by the treating ophthalmologist and collaborating neurologist.PMID:36657959 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2022-321517

Chronic Inflammatory Disorders and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Coronary Heart Disease, and Stroke: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: -The risk of cardiovascular diseases and T2DM is increased across a range of organ-specific and multi-system chronic inflammatory disorders with evidence that risk is associated with severity of inflammation. Clinical management of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders should aim to reduce cardiovascular risk. PMID: 24970784 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Headache and Acute Stroke
Abstract Disorders associated with prominent headaches, such as migraine with aura and cerebral arterial and venous diseases, increase the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Central nervous system vasculitis, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, and cerebral venous thrombosis are all disorders associated with severe or persistent headache in which the risk for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is increased. Hemorrhagic strokes, more frequently than ischemic strokes, present with distinct headaches, usually accompanied by focal neurological symptoms. Preg...

Mitochondrial Encephalopathy with Lactic Acidosis and Stroke (MELAS) presenting as an apparent neoplastic process (P5.015)
CONCLUSION: MELAS can mimic more common disorders. The slow onset of her symptoms and the MRI's appearance led to suspicion for neoplasm. This is the first report to our knowledge where MELAS has presented as such. Documentation of this and other unusual presentations of mitochondrial disease is crucial to appropriate diagnosis of the condition.Disclosure: Dr. Rothstein has nothing to disclose. Dr. Haq has nothing to disclose.

Emergency Management of Ischemic Stroke in Children
Opinion statement Children who present with acute neurological symptoms suggestive of a stroke need immediate clinical assessment and urgent neuroimaging to confirm diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the investigation of first choice due to limited sensitivity of computed tomography (CT) for detection of ischaemia. Acute monitoring should include monitoring of blood pressure and body temperature, and neurological observations. Surveillance in a paediatric high dependency or intensive care unit and neurosurgical consultation are mandatory in children with large infarcts at risk of developing malignant ...

Minocycline-induced polyarteritis nodosa-like vasculitis presenting as brainstem stroke
This report shows that ischemic strokes may occur as a result of minocycline-induced vasculitis. While this is likely a rare association, recognition is important given the widespread use of minocycline and the potential for devastating consequences in a young population. Consequently, drug-induced vasculitis should be considered in patients with an ischemic stroke taking minocycline.

Correspondence Infectious causes of stroke
We read with great interest the excellent Review by Jennifer Fugate and colleagues1 about the infectious causes of stroke. Their Review is useful for daily practice, since physicians often focus excessively on autoimmune causes of central nervous system vasculitis causing stroke, while forgetting about infectious causes. However, we think that apart from neurosyphilis, which is mentioned in great detail, an additional comment on stroke caused by another spirochetal disease, Lyme neuroborreliosis, is needed.

Vasculitic neuropathy following exposure to minocycline
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the typical neuropathy associated with minocycline use is painful single or multiple mononeuropathy due to peripheral nerve vasculitis, which may also be accompanied by presumed CNS vasculitis (presenting as stroke).

Thrombolysis for acute stroke in patient with systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report
We present a case of 40-year-old woman with an acute stroke who received rt-PA. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large ischemic stroke in right hemisphere and a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed signs of vasculitis.

Nonatheroscleotic Isolated Middle Cerebral Artery Disease May Be Early Manifestation of Moyamoya Disease Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Nonatherosclerotic pathogenesis are common in young Asians with symptomatic isolated MCAD. Clinical findings, high-resolution MRI features, and results of RNF213 mutation analysis suggest that moyamoya disease is responsible etiologically for a significant portion of nonatherosclerotic lesions. Symptomatic isolated MCAD may be an early manifestation of moyamoya disease in young Asian adults.

Avoidance of steroids in the reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), characterized by multifocal constrictions of cerebral arteries resolving spontaneously within 3 months, most commonly presents with unusual, severe, mostly thunderclap headaches (severe pain peaking in less than 1 minute).1,2 Seizures and focal neurologic deficits related to cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, or posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome may occur.3–5 Treatment relies on rest; withdrawal of any vasoactive drugs; avoidance of triggering factors; administration of nimodipine, given by analogy to aneurysmal...

Stroke Due to Cerebral Vasculitis in a Patient with Relentless Placoid Chorioretinitis.
CONCLUSIONS: We report the first case of stroke due to cerebral vasculitis in a patient with relentless placoid chorioretinitis. This case emphasizes the need for timely evaluation of neurological symptoms in patients with this ocular diagnosis. PMID: 28282738 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rare Cases of Thrombotic and Embolic Stroke with Hypereosinophilia (P1.295)
Conclusions:Hypereosinophilia can cause both embolic and thrombotic strokes as evidenced by our patients. The etiology of embolic stroke may be due to the direct eosinophilic damage to the endocardium or by the release of eosinophilic basic proteins which initiate endomyocardial necrosis, making the heart a potential source of emboli. Causes of thrombogenicity are multifactorial including the release of tissue factor from specific granules, inactivation of thrombomodulin by binding to the major basic protein, endothelial damage or by elevation of fibrinogen levels. The individual presentations (thrombotic/embolic) will alt...
