Back to the Basics: Thorough Vascular Examination Based on Arterial Topography of Acute Ischemic Lesions
Sangil Park, Hye-Yeon ChoiNeurology India 2022 70(1):387-389 Identification of the precise cause is fundamental to the secondary prevention of acute ischemic stroke. Several uncommon causes of stroke have been identified as a result of the attempts made to identify the cause of a cryptogenic stroke. However, unless proper protocol is followed each time, without missing any steps, it might not be possible to accurately determine the cause of strokes. Herein, we report a case wherein the cause of stroke was not detected in time because a fundamental step was missed while attempting to determine the cause. The 44-year-old ma...

Reversible Hemichorea with Severe Carotid Stenosis
Conclusion: Hemichorea due to critical hemispheric ischemia is a well-described rare entity that best responds to reperfusion strategies. Awareness is essential to identify this entity and manage appropriately.

Assessment of Collaterals Using Multiphasic CT Angiography in Acute Stroke: Its Correlation with Clinical Outcomes
Conclusion: Multiphase CT collateral system was superior to single-phase angiography in predicting the long-term functional outcomes. Prediction of the hemorrhagic transformation risk was also observed to be better for multiphase CT.

Statins Therapy Improves Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Cardio-metabolic Disorders Measured by Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2): New Focal Point
Conclusions: Lp-PLA2 mass level was higher in patients with AIS and linked with underlying poor cardio-metabolic disorders. Therefore, the Lp-PLA2 mass level is observed to be a surrogate biomarker of AIS mainly in patients with poor cardio-metabolic disorders. Statin therapy improves the Lp-PLA2 mass level and the poor cardio-metabolic profile in patients with AIS.

Impact of Pre-Stroke Antiplatelet Use on 3-Month Outcome After Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: PAP therapy has no significant effect on initial stroke severity, rates of post-ischemic hemorrhage with or without thrombolysis, in-hospital mortality, stroke recurrence, and 3-month outcome after ischemic stroke.

Cryptogenic Stroke in the Young: Role of Candidate Gene Polymorphisms in Indian Patients with Ischemic Etiology
Conclusions: Our study indicates that in the Indian population MTHFR rs1801133, KNG rs710446, FXII rs1801020, SERPINC1 rs2227589, CYP4V2 rs13146272, and FXIII V34L may be significant risk factors for cryptogenic IS in the young. In addition, ethnicity and gender play a significant role. Further studies with larger sample size are required to completely establish these polymorphisms as risk factors for cryptogenic IS in young Indians.

The Relationship between Patterns of Remodeling and Degree of Enhancement in Patients with Atherosclerotic Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis: A High-Resolution MRI Study
Conclusion: The PR, obvious enhancement predicted vulnerable plaques that were more prone to causing acute stroke. RI and ED had valuable diagnostic efficiency for acute infarction.

Risk Factors, Recurrence and Short-Term Outcomes for Progressive Cerebral Infarction: A Retrospective Study
Conclusions: PCI risk factors included diabetes, homocysteine, NIHSS score at admission, fibrinogen, and intracranial artery stenosis. The independent risk factors for PCI prognosis included age, high NIHSS score at admission, and pneumonia. PCI did not affect CI recurrence but may affect adverse short-term outcomes.

CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores Can Guide the Evaluation of Cryptogenic Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 4 and CHADS2 score ≥3 may be used as a predictor of the occurrence of IS despite regular antiplatelet use and suggest an embolic source which will respond better to anticogulation. Our results support that CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores may be useful to identify subgroups among patients with CIS for individualizing diagnostic approach, planning future workup and preventive treatment.

Recurrent Ischemic Strokes: & #8220;Discontinuation of Antiplatelet Drugs Appears to be an Important Preventable Cause & #8221;
Conclusions: The main reason for nonadherence to antiplatelet therapy is lack of awareness about the need for lifelong antiplatelet therapy. Stroke patients should be educated about the importance of lifelong antiplatelet therapy to prevent recurrent strokes.

Embolectomy by SOLUMBRA Technique for Nontarget Intracranial Glue Migration & #8212; Complication and Bailout after Percutaneous Embolization of Orbital Meningioma
We report a case of percutaneous glue embolization of an orbital meningioma, complicated by delayed acute stroke due to the distal migration of polymerized glue in the left middle cerebral artery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to discuss the percutaneous embolization of orbital meningioma complicated by stroke due to intracranial glue migration.

A Rare Case of Stroke in an Adolescent Violinist Due to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
We describe a rare case of a healthy 14-year-old boy, a competitive violinist, with acute limb ischemia from extensive occlusive thrombi involving several arteries in the right upper extremity as well as the right vertebral artery, which ultimately caused infarcts in the bilateral posterior circulation. The etiology was determined to be TOS leading to impingement of the right subclavian artery by a fused cervical rib aggravated by patient's prolonged violin practice. This case represents the first description of stroke from TOS in an adolescent violinist.
