Cerebral Infarction in an HIV-Infected Patient with Combined Protein S and C Deficiency and a Patent Foramen Ovale
A 41-year-old male with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection developed motor aphasia, dysarthria, and right hemiparesis. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain revealed a cerebral infarction in the territory of the left middle cerebral artery. The laboratory data showed decreased levels of protein S and protein C. Transesophageal contrast-enhanced echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Prothrombotic states, such as protein S and C deficiency, have been reported in HIV-infected patients. In addition, previous studies have reported prothrombotic states to be risk factors for PFO-...

RoPE: A safety line but tangles remain
In our health care system, we strive to provide the right patients with the right care at the right time. The charter of the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care states: "By the year 2020, 90% of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up-to-date clinical information, and will reflect the best available evidence."1 The optimal management of patients with ischemic stroke and a patent foramen ovale (PFO) remains unclear, although we applaud the novel analytic approach from the Tufts-based international consortium.2

Internuclear opthalmoplegia as a symptom of ischemic stroke in a child with patent foramen ovale (PFO)
A 16-year-old previously healthy female presented with sudden diplopia and dizziness. Both symptoms appeared on the day of admission, soon after waking up in the morning. The day before admission she complained of a headache followed by transient numbness in the right half of her face. Neurological examination revealed typical signs of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (limitated adduction in the left eye with a horizontal nystagmus in the right eye during attempted right gaze, Fig. 1a,b,c,d).

Neurological complications of underwater diving.
Abstract The diver's nervous system is extremely sensitive to high ambient pressure, which is the sum of atmospheric and hydrostatic pressure. Neurological complications associated with diving are a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They occur in both commercial and recreational diving and are connected with increasing interest in the sport of diving. Hence it is very important to know the possible complications associated with this kind of sport. Complications of the nervous system may result from decompression sickness, pulmonary barotrauma associated with cerebral arterial air embolism (AGE), otic...

Internuclear Opthalmoplegia as a Symptom of Ischemic Stroke in a Girl With Patent Foramen Ovale
A previously healthy 16-year-old girl presented with sudden-onset diplopia and dizziness. Both symptoms appeared on the day of admission, soon after awakening in the morning. The day before admission, she complained of a headache followed by transient numbness in the right half of her face. Neurological examination revealed an internuclear ophthalmoplegia (limited adduction in the left eye with a horizontal nystagmus in the right eye during attempted right gaze, Figure A-D).

Thrombus in Transit with Isolated Paradoxical Embolism to the Subclavian Artery
We present a case in a postoperative setting, with a thrombus in transit across a patent foramen ovale. Pulmonary embolization was clinically silent and diagnosed incidentally, and systemic embolization was isolated but extensive to the subclavian artery.

Non-traumatic Cerebral Fat Embolism in Sickle Cell Disease (P3.234)
Conclusions:Our case series illustrates the following clinical pearls: a) SCD-related CFES is vastly under-diagnosed, as it closely mimics sepsis, vasculitis or hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy; b) The diagnosis is confirmed with SWI that demonstrates pathognomonic microbleeds in the splenium and subcortical location; c) SCD-related CFES carries considerable morbidity and mortality.Disclosure: Dr. Ramachandiran has nothing to disclose.

Repeated Paradoxical Brain Infarctions in a Patient on Self-Managed Home Hemodialysis Using a Long-Term Indwelling Catheter
We describe the case of a 51-year-old Japanese man with an end-stage kidney disease caused by a 30-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The patient had suffered repeated bilateral multiple brain infarctions within a short period of time after the initiation of a self-managed daily home hemodialysis regimen using a long-term indwelling catheter inserted into the right atrium. Despite extensive examinations, we could not find any embolic causes except for the catheter and a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Patent Foramen Ovale and the Risk of Cerebral Infarcts in Acute Pulmonary Embolism —A Prospective Observational Study
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with a risk of consecutive paradoxical embolism with brain infarction through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The aims of this study were to assess the rate of new ischemic brain lesions (IBLs) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during a 12-month follow-up period with anticoagulation and to evaluate the potential relationship with the presence of PFO on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
