Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection presenting as stroke and meningoencephalitis with aortic and subclavian aneurysms without pulmonary involvement- a rare case report (P5.122)
Conclusion Mycoplasma infection should be considered in patients presenting with fever, aseptic meningitis and stoke even in absence of respiratory symptoms. Early detection and treatment with appropriate antibiotics offers excellent outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Inshasi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sarathchandran has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of hematoma volume in the patients treated with intravenous alteplase (P4.297)
CONCLUSIONS: Hematoma volume is related with short and long-term clinical outcomes. Atrial fibrillation and early CT changes are independent predictors of large hematoma volume.Disclosure: Dr. Heo has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.

"Reverse Locked-in Syndrome": A rare presentation after endovascular recanalization of top-of-the-basilar artery occlusion (P4.302)
CONCLUSION: Complete opthalmoplegia, bilateral ptosis, and arreactive mydriasis without appendicular motor dysfunction, a "reverse locked-in" state, is a rare presentation after ischemic stroke involving the paramedian midbrain tegmentum. This syndrome is the opposite of locked-in syndrome, which is cause by ventral pontine infarction. Timely endovascular thrombectomy, even when a patient presents in coma, may offer dramatic recovery with good functional outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Raibagkar has nothing to disclose.

Significance of Periclot MMP-9 in Ischemic Stroke Patients Undergoing Intra-arterial Interventions (P4.303)
CONCLUSIONS: Decreased periclot MMP-9 may be predictive of HT after ischemic stroke, contrasting with previous work demonstrating elevated peripheral MMP-9 as predictive of HT. Increased periclot MCP-4 and angiogenin expression, as well as decreased numbers of circulating monocytes, may serve as additional predictive markers of HT. Future work should measure the activity of periclot MMP-9. Study Supported by: Shimojani, LLC and NIH (DJ).Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose. Dr. Prager has nothing to disclose.

Why are most stroke patients deemed poor candidates for intraaterial therapy? A prospective study (P4.306)
Conclusion: The majority of patients presenting to a large tertiary referral center with AIS due to a large vessel occlusion were found to be poor IA candidates, with more than half excluded for a single reason. Such data addressing the volume and proportion of patients found ineligible for IA therapy in real-world practice can help target efforts to develop new interventional options and improve future clinical trial design.Disclosure: Dr. Damania has nothing to disclose.

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.

Volumetric Measurements of Cytotoxic and Vasogenic Edema Following Traumatic Brain Injury Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (P7.156)
CONCLUSIONS: While edema over the first week after TBI is primarily vasogenic, cytotoxic edema makes a significant contribution, as well. Cytotoxic edema peaks around 3-4 days post-injury, while vasogenic edema peaks around 6-7 days post-injury. This data may be informative for the design of clinical trials of drugs targeting post-traumatic edema.

Teaching NeuroImages: Cortical blindness following acute obstructive hydrocephalus by a colloid cyst
A 46-year-old woman was admitted for acute headache, postseizure confusion, and visual loss. Urgent head CT scan showed obstructive hydrocephalus due to a colloid cyst (figure 1). External ventricular drains inserted emergently demonstrated CSF under pressure, above 40 mm H2O. MRI confirmed the suspected diagnosis of a colloid cyst and highlighted bilateral occipital lobe infarcts (figure 2). CT angiography showed no thrombosis of the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs). After neurosurgical excision of the colloid cyst, the patient remained blind. The presumed mechanism of infarction was acute compression of the PCAs agains...
