DWI Negative Stroke: Learning Points For Imaging In Acute Stroke (P1.037)
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical exam bears more weight than imaging in suspected brainstem infarcts. With the increasing use of DWI as the imaging of choice in acute stroke, DWI negative stroke must be considered in patients who present with classic brain stem infarcts with negative imaging to prevent delay in therapy as these patients may still be a candidate for thrombolysis.Disclosure: Dr. Nalleballe has nothing to disclose.

Cognitive deficits of pure subcortical vascular dementia vs Alzheimer disease: PiB-PET-based study
Conclusions: Patients with PiB(–) SVaD were better at memory but worse at frontal function than patients with PiB(+) AD. The differences in memory/frontal functions observed between the 2 groups, however, could not differentiate all individual data due to some overlap in the cutoff threshold.
