Stroke Risk Factors, Subtypes, and 30-Day Case Fatality in Abuja, Nigeria (P1.121)
CONCLUSIONS: Although hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation were important stroke risk factors, in many patients, these were detected only after a stroke. While the commonest stroke subtype was cerebral infarction, observed in almost two-third of patients, SAH was associated with the highest case-fatality rate at 30 days of 44.4%. Larger population-based studies are planned.Study Supported by: nilDisclosure: Dr. Bwala has nothing to disclose.

Cardiac MRI Has Limited Additional Yield in Cryptogenic Stroke Evaluation (P1.225)
Conclusions: The addition of cMRI to TEE in the diagnostic evaluation of CS results in 9[percnt] reclassification of CCS subtype, with only 3[percnt] reclassified as a non-CS subtype. Our results indicate the need for cost-effectiveness studies assessing the role of cMRI in determining ischemic stroke etiology.Disclosure: Dr. Liberman has nothing to disclose.

Cerebral Microbleeds Determine Long-Term Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Lacunar Subtype (P1.015)

Review of Cardiac Abnormalities with Hypercoagulable Testing in Ischemic Stroke Patients (P4.234)
CONCLUSIONS: We found no relationship between abnormal HT findings and RTLS among individuals with ischemic stroke. However, there may be an association between abnormal HT results and severe LVH that is worthy of further exploration. Previous literature has demonstrated an association between hypertension and hypercoagulability. Disclosure: Dr. Anderson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose.

Value of Eye Movement Exam in Aiding Precise Localization in Stroke (P1.016)
We present an unusual presentation of midbrain stroke presenting with bilateral ptosis in an African American male with vascular risk factors and concurrent use of bevacizumab. This case illustrates how detailed knowledge of anatomy and detailed neurologic exam remain valuable tools for localizing and diagnosing subtle presentations of common neurologic disease. Case description: A 69 year-old African American man with vascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia and poorly controlled diabetes experienced sudden onset horizontal diplopia associated with fatigue. The patient presented to the Emergency Depart...

Nationwide Patterns of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Utilization among Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Patients in the Emergency Department (P2.309)
CONCLUSIONS: Nationwide patterns of MRI utilization among ischemic stroke and TIA patients demonstrate variations given an urban vs. rural setting and the patient’s triage status. These results characterize factors associated with MRI use in the ED and may guide efforts in better understanding MRI use in EDs among ischemic stroke and TIA patients on a nationwide basis.Disclosure: Dr. Ng has nothing to disclose.

Hypoperfusion, vascular pruning, and transient hemiparesis mimicking stroke in transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (P4.161)
Conclusions:The patient’s transient cerebrovascular and electrophysiologic abnormalities are consistent with those described in the literature for hemiplegic migraine. However, he did not meet International Headache Society criteria for hemiplegic migraine, such as headache with presentation or recurrent events. We hypothesize that transient vascular narrowing and resultant hypoperfusion, compounded by cerebral hypoxia from significant anemia, may explain the transient neurologic symptoms concurrent with anemia in TEC.Disclosure: Dr. Calahan has nothing to disclose.

Early Diagnosis of Posterior Fossa Stroke with Brainstem Evoked Potentials (I1-3B)
