Tissue Plasminogen Activator to Treat a Stroke after Foam Sclerotherapy in a Woman with a Patent Foramen Ovale
Although foam sclerotherapy to varicose veins is now a popular treatment because of its high efficacy and safety, some neurologic complications have recently been reported. Presently, the effectiveness and safety of intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator therapy to stroke following foam sclerotherapy remain unclear. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old woman whose ischemic symptoms following foam sclerotherapy were treated by intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator.

Carotid Atherosclerosis and Patent Foramen Ovale in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
Carotid atherosclerosis and likely pathogenic patent foramen ovale (PFO) are two potential embolic sources in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between these two mechanisms among ESUS patients remains unclear.

Cardiac and Echocardiographic Markers in Cryptogenic Stroke with Incidental Patent Foramen Ovale
Some cardiac abnormalities could be a substrate for potential embolic source in cryptogenic stroke (CS). We evaluated whether cardiac and echocardiographic markers were associated with CS in patients with incidental patent foramen ovale (PFO) as defined using the Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score.

Simultaneously Occurring Ischemic Stroke, Leg Artery Occlusion, and Pulmonary Embolism Induced by a Uterine Myoma
Paradoxical embolism from venous thrombosis through the patent foramen ovale is a rare but well-known cause of stroke in young adults. Here, we report a case of simultaneous middle cerebral artery infarction, multiple occlusions of the leg arteries, and pulmonary thromboembolism from the venous thrombus, all due to compression of the external iliac vein by a uterine leiomyoma.

Ipsilateral Carotid Plaque Presence is Inversely Associated with Patent Foramen Ovale in Cryptogenic Stroke: A Multicenter CohortStudy
Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) accounts for up to  20% of all strokes. Potential contributors to ESUS include patent foramen ovale (PFO) and non-stenotic plaque (

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in young patients with ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The recommended cardiac rhythm evaluation to determine the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) is similar in all patients regardless of their age and includes an electrocardiogram and at least a 24-hour heart rhythm monitoring. However, it is known that the main causes of IS vary according to patients ’ age. There is a higher preponderance of arterial dissections and patent foramen ovale in younger patients, while atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in older patients.

Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Lesion Patterns in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale and Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Artery Dissection
Conclusion: The present study suggests that lesion patterns observed from DWI of patients with PFO and SIAD might provide clues to the etiology of infarcts. Single lesions (cortical or subcortical) might be a typical feature of PFO associated strokes, while multiple lesions in one vascular territory might be a specific feature of SIAD associated strokes. Introduction Both patent foramen ovale (PFO) and spontaneous intracranial artery dissection (SIAD) are important stroke risk factors, especially in young and middle-aged adults (1–3). About 25% of patients with ischemic stroke are cryptogenic (4), and PFO is ...

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (I12-5D)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Imaging Characteristics of Ischemic Strokes Related to Patent Foramen Ovale Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A PFO-stroke usually appears as a single cortical or multiple small ischemic lesions in the vertebrobasilar circulation without any visible vessel occlusion on angiography. The recanalization rate is significantly lower than in AF-stroke. These imaging characteristics of PFO-stroke may help to diagnose the mechanism and determine the treatment strategy.
