A simple risk score for early ischemic stroke mortality derived from National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: A discriminant analysis
Conclusions: The suggested discriminant function, comprising NIHSS items of level of consciousness-commands, language and gaze, can predict 28-day mortality after ischemic stroke in a similar way to the original NIHSS score and can provide a baseline for stroke severity in emergency settings.

P 117. Can cerebellar theta burst stimulation improve recovery of cerebellar stroke patients?
Conclusion: These preliminary results provide novel evidence that cerebellar TBS can be used to promote functional recovery of patients with cerebellar stroke. These clinical improvement could be related to long-lasting changes in the excitability of cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathways.

E-088 successful mechanical thrombectomy for basilar artery stroke in a 22-month old child
We present the case of a 22-month-old with basilar artery occlusion successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy.The patient presented to the emergency department with altered mental status and gait ataxia. She "felt limp", her breathing was shallow, and her gaze dysconjugate. Her medical history included congenital heart defects with multiple cardiac procedures.In the emergency department, she fell with attempted ambulation. Labs were normal, as was a chest x-ray, and EKG. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head suggested left cerebellar hemisphere attenuation. The differential included arrhythmia, stroke, or...

Is It Possible to Treat "Stroke-Like Symptoms" with Hemodialysis? (P4.390)
CONCLUSIONS • Diabetic patients with ESRD on HD can present with stroke-like symptoms associated with bilateral basal ganglia hypoattenuation . This presentation can be confused initially with a stroke. • Brain imaging can assist with making the diagnosis. The clinical presentation in our cases included slurred speech, ataxia, and bilateral lower extremity weakness. • Hemodialysis leaded to clinical improvement.Disclosure: Dr. Rodriguez Alvarez has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of Poor Outcome in Patients with Minor Ischemic Stroke by Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This study indicated that age, heart disease, motor distur bance of limb, ataxia, early neurological deterioration, diameter of infarction, size of non-responsible vessels, and large-artery atherosclerosis can be used to assess the prognosis of patients with minor ischemic stroke.

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 ...

Intravenous Thrombolysis at 3.5 Hours From Onset of Pediatric Acute Ischemic Stroke
We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with right-sided weakness and ataxia, loss of sensation, and altered mental status. Magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging showed an acute lesion in the distribution of the left posterior cerebral artery, and magnetic resonance angiogram demonstrated occlusion of the third branch of the left posterior cerebral artery. With parental consent, clinicians decided to infuse an adult dose of weight-adjusted intravenous alteplase at 3.5 hours from onset of symptoms, with subsequent improvement in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score from 11 to ...

Cerebellar theta burst stimulation in stroke patients with ataxia.
Authors: Bonnì S, Ponzo V, Caltagirone C, Koch G Abstract Evidence for effective improvement of the symptoms of cerebellar stroke is still limited. Here, we investigated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied over the injured cerebellar hemisphere in six patients with posterior circulation stroke. We applied a two-week course of cerebellar intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). Before and after the iTBS treatment, paired-pulse TMS methods were used to explore: i) the functional connectivity between the cerebellar hemisphere and the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1), ...

Early Diagnosis of Posterior Fossa Stroke with Brainstem Evoked Potentials (I1-3B)
Conclusion: BAP is more sensitive for diagnostic purposes towards posterior fossa small strokes and should be considered in patients when the initial MRI brain is negative. This will allow for correct diagnosis and treatment regimen without causing a delay for the patient.Disclosure: Dr. Duggal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ahmed has nothing to disclose.

No evidence of ischemia in stroke-like lesions of mitochondrial POLG encephalopathy
Publication date: Available online 10 November 2016 Source:Mitochondrion Author(s): Charalampos Tzoulis, Eilen Henriksen, Hrvoje Miletic, Laurence A. Bindoff Stroke-like lesions are characteristically associated with mitochondrial encephalopathies such as those caused by mutations of polymerase gamma (POLG) and the m.3243A>G mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation. The combination of acute clinical onset, MRI and pathological abnormalities, have led to the suggestion that these lesions are ischemic. Here, we sought to determine the role of ischemia in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial stroke-like lesions. We performed a...

Improving Tremor Detection and Quantification with Automated Measurements of Stroke Energy (P3.014)
Conclusions:The DCTE feature reliably and precisely quantifies stroke energy associated with tremor severity, with no additional clinician or patient burden. DCTclock’s stroke energy measurement correlates with clinician judgment and can accurately distinguish ET from HC.Disclosure: Dr. Musicus has received personal compensation for activities with Aptec Group and Digital Cognition Technologies, Inc.
