Remote Assessment of Stroke Using the iPhone 4
This study demonstrates the efficacy of using the relatively inexpensive iPhone 4 in telestroke management. Twenty patients with stroke were assessed at the bedside using an iPhone 4, and each examination was directed remotely on another iPhone 4. Both the physician performing the bedside exam and the remote physician calculated a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score for each patient. Each physician was blinded to the other’s NIHSS score. In the 20 patients assessed, NIHSS scores ranged from 0 to 22. Interrater reliability assessed using the κ statistic demonstrated excellent agreement in 10 items (l...

Aphasia Induced by Infratentorial Ischemic Stroke: Two Case Reports
Aphasia induced by an infratentorial stroke has rarely been reported, and its mechanism has not been fully identified. We evaluated two individuals who had been admitted to Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital in Kumamoto, Japan, due to acute ischemic stroke in order to determine whether their aphasia was induced by an infratentorial stroke. The first patient, a 59-year-old man with a history of left parietal embolic stroke with very mild sequelae of anomia, developed Wernicke’s aphasia, nonfluent speech, and right limb ataxia as a result of the stroke. The second patient, a 76-year-old woman with a history of chronic renal failu...

Stroke-Like Presentation of Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration: a Single-Center Experience and Review of the Literature.
We report herein incidence and clinical features of hyperacute onset PCD, a vertebrobasilar stroke mimic. We performed a retrospective analysis of all suspected PCD cases referred to the Udine University Hospital between 2009 and 2017. Our center provides the only neuroimmunology laboratory for three provinces of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Italy (983,190 people as of January 1, 2017). Inclusion criteria were (1) abrupt onset of neurological symptoms; (2) initial consideration of a vascular etiology; (3) final diagnosis of "definite PCD." We also carried out a systematic review of the literature in order to identify ...

Acute upper extremity arterial thrombosis and stroke in an unresected pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma is a rare cause of hypertension in the general population. Only isolated reports show an association with acute obstructive arterial thrombosis. A 50-year-old chronically noncompliant woman with a known unresected pheochromocytoma presented to the emergency department with ataxia. Imaging confirmed a right-sided ischemic stroke. During her hospital stay, the patient developed signs consistent with acute right upper extremity ischemia resulting from occlusion in the distal right subclavian, axillary, and proximal brachial arteries. Emergent open thrombectomy was successfully performed. In patients with an u...

Opalski Syndrome Treated with Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator —Case Report and Review of Literature
A 65-year-old man with a history of Wallenberg syndrome caused by vertebral artery dissection at 62 years old was admitted to our hospital with nausea, vertigo, right facial dysesthesia, right hemiplegia, crossed sensory disturbance (sensory loss and numbness in the right face and left body below the neck), and right limb ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed 80 minutes after onset revealed no acute ischemic stroke lesions, but magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrated complete occlusion of the right vertebral artery.

Arteria vertebralis thrombosis egy 7 éves gyermekben
We present the case history of a 7-year-old boy who was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit of a county hospital with symptoms of facial palsy, progrediating ataxia and somnolence. Contrast-enhanced angiographic MR images of the skull revealed acute ischemic lesions and suggested stenosis of the left vertebral artery, then it was confirmed by TOF (time of flight) angiography of vessels of the neck and cervical ultrasound examination. The arterial thrombus causing ischaemia was eliminated by drug treatment and the rehabilitation process could be started. The patient's condition improved considerably following that...

A severe, relapsing case of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG-associated CNS inflammation
A 55-year-old man presented in October 2004 with general unease, vomiting, and gait disturbance. Initially diagnosed with an inner ear infection, the patient's symptoms did not improve and he was evaluated further. MRI revealed a cerebellar lesion, which led to the suspicion of a posterior circulation stroke, and he was started on antiplatelet drugs. However, an angiogram suggested no vascular pathology. In March 2011, he had another episode of ataxia and MRI showed a right brainstem lesion. Cryptogenic stroke was reconsidered. In March 2013, the patient developed paraparesis with urinary and bowel symptoms. MRI revealed m...

The use of motor learning and neural plasticity in rehabilitation for ataxic hemiparesis: A case report.
DISCUSSION: This case report describes a novel intervention strategy for a patient with ataxia following a lacunar stroke. The application of the principles of neural plasticity and motor learning was the foundation for a function-based plan of care. PMID: 30686101 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
