Ischemic Stroke as the First Manifestation of Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma
In conclusion, hypercoaguable state related to hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma can lead to an ischemic stroke, as a rare first manifestation of the disease.

Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography as a Necessary Scan in Acute Stroke: A Case Series
We present a number of exemplary cases where the diagnostic value of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) after CT angiography in our acute stroke imaging protocol was of fundamental clinical significance.

Clopidogrel Resistance Increases Rate of Recurrent Stroke and Other Vascular Events in Chinese Population
Research regarding clopidogrel resistance (CR) and ischemic stroke (IS) recurrence related to IS is scanty. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of CR and the association between CR and IS recurrence and other vascular events in patients with IS receiving clopidogrel.

Effective ADAPT Thrombectomy in a Patient with Acute Stroke due to Cardiac Papillary Elastofibroma: Histological Thrombus Confirmation
A 75-year-old man with hypertension and atrial fibrillation was admitted to our emergency room with right-sided hemiplegia and complete aphasia (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score = 18). A noncontrast computed tomography scan showed a slight hypodensity in the left insular region and a bright hyperdense sign in the M1 tract of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Angio-CT confirmed an occlusion of the M1 tract of the MCA. Magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging/p erfusion-weighted imaging was obtained and revealed a mismatch in the left parietal cortical region.

Time to Computerized Tomography Scan, Age, and Mortality in Acute Stroke
Time to computerized tomography (CT) is important to institute appropriate and timely hyperacute management in stroke. We aimed to evaluate mortality outcomes in relation to age and time to CT scan.

Limb Shaking Transient Ischemic Attacks with Normal Neurovascular Ultrasound may Herald Cardioembolic Stroke: ACase Report
We describe a 74 year-old woman with abrupt left arm jerking and normal urgent computed tomography scan, electroencephalography (EEG) as well as carotid and transcranial ultrasound. Two days later she developed an overt ischemic stroke, with left mesencephalon and left cerebellar hemisphere lesions at brain magnetic resonance imaging and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at Holter-EKG.

Subacute Elevation of Plasma Level of Caspase-Cleaved Cytokeratin-18 is Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation and Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke
Background: Caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (CCCK-18) is an apoptosis marker. Here, we analyzed the relationship between plasma level of CCCK-18 in the acute and subacute stage of ischemic stroke and early and late functional outcome. Besides, correlation among CCCK-18 and complications, such as hemorrhagic transformation (HT) were also explored. Methods: Plasma concentration of CCCK-18 was investigated in 54 patients at admission and poststroke 72 hours. HT was evaluated by CT scans on 24 poststroke hours.

Factors Associated With In-Hospital Mortality in Very Elderly Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Cohort Study
The highest mortality rates associated with ischemic stroke occur in patients of advanced age. However, studies of factors that establish the increase in hospital mortality are scanty in this population.

Cardiac Arrhythmias and Acute Cerebrovascular Events: A Case of QT Prolongation and Torsades de Pointes Early After Right Insular Stroke
Stroke involving some areas of the cerebral hemisphere, such as insula, amygdala, and lateral hypothalamus, may cause changes in autonomic control of cardiac function. A 58-year-old woman presented to the emergency department for acute onset of left facial-brachial-crural hemiparesis and dysarthria. A brain CT scan showed subacute ischemic lesion with hemorrhagic infarction in right insular-rolandic cortex. Over the next few days ECG showed severe bradycardia with elongation of QTc, significative pauses (5 seconds), runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and torsades de pointes.

Tilt-Corrected Region Boundaries May Enhance the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score for Less Experienced Raters
Background: The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is widely used to quantify early ischemic changes in the anterior circulation but has limited inter-rater reliability. Aims: We investigated whether application of 3-dimensional boundaries outlining the ASPECTS regions improves inter-rater reliability and accuracy. Methods: We included all patients from our DEFUSE 2 database who had a pretreatment noncontrast computed tomography scan (NCCT) of acceptable quality. Six raters (2 neuroradiologists, 2 vascular neurologists, and 2 neurology residents) scored ASPECTS of each NCCT without ( “CT-nat...

Isolated Infarction of the Medullary Pyramid – A Rare Pure Motor Stroke
Acute pure motor hemiparesis can occur due to a vascular insult along the cortico spinal pathway. Rarely such a stroke can occur as a result of involvement of the pyramids located on the ventral aspect of the medulla. Neurological localization can be difficult in such strokes and moreover they can also pose imaging challenges since they are missed on the CT scans. So far only 4 such cases have been reported in literature. Here we present two cases of pure motor strokes caused by infarction of the medullary pyramids.

Early Triage of Cardioembolic Sources Using Chest Spectral Computed Tomography in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The present study investigated the potential usefulness of delayed-phase, low-dose, non-gated, chest spectral CT scans (DSCT) for the early triage of cardioembolic (CE) sources in patients admitted with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and for the simultaneous detection of myocardial disease and thrombotic complications.
