Long-term Prognosis of Patients Presenting First-ever Vestibular Symptoms in a Community-based Study

Hyperacute-Phase Computed Tomography–Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Discrepancy and Response to Thrombolysis
This study investigated the incidence and clinical features of reversed discrepancy (RD) in patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke. Sixty-two patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke were enrolled. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging within 3 hours and received therapy with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. The relationships between the Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score on CT and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); deep white matter lesion on DWI (DWI-W), CT, or magnetic resonance imaging after 24 hours; dramatic improvement (defined as a change in National...

Computer Tomography for Prediction of Cognitive Outcomes after Ischemic Cerebrovascular Events
Conclusions: CT parameters are independently associated with SCogI at 3-6 months after an ischemic cerebrovascular event and may be a clinically useful component in predicting for SCogI after stroke.

The Impact of Intracranial Carotid Artery Calcification on the Development of Thrombolysis-Induced Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Background: We aimed to assess whether intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) evident on head computed tomography is a risk factor for symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) following tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment for acute stroke.Methods: We classified 297 consecutive patients into 2 groups (no to mild ICAC and moderate to severe ICAC) according to ICAC severity. Outcome measures included detection of intracerebral hemorrhage and assessment using a modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 1 month and 1 year after stroke.Results: ICH (any type) was significantly more common in patients with moderate t...

Intracranial Arterial Stenosis
Intracranial arterial stenosis (IAS) is usually attributable to atherosclerosis and corresponds to the most common cause of stroke worldwide. It is very prevalent among African, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Advancing age, systolic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome are some of its major risk factors. IAS may be associated with transient or definite neurological symptoms or can be clinically asymptomatic. Transcranial Doppler and magnetic resonance angiography are the most frequently used ancillary examinations for screening and follow-up. Computed...

Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Oral Phenylephrine Use: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusions: It is scientifically plausible that phenylephrine may cause strokes, consistent with the pharmacologic properties and adverse event profiles of similar amphetamine-like sympathomimetics. As RCVS has been well described in association with over-the-counter sympathomimetics, a likely, although not definitive, causal relationship between phenylephrine and ICH is proposed.

Numbness in the Tip of the Tongue and Lower Lip Caused by Thalamic Hemorrhage
Although patients with isolated oral syndrome or facial sensory loss following stroke of thalamic ventroposteromedial (VPM) nucleus have been reported, there have been no reports of numbness in the tip of the tongue and lower lip. Furthermore, symptoms in the tip of the tongue caused by stroke are typically characterized as gustatory sensory disturbances. A 62-year-old hypertensive man experienced an acute onset of severe numbness in the left tip of the tongue and ipsilateral lower lip. Neurological examination revealed no other abnormalities except for the aforementioned numbness. Head computed tomography showed a small h...

Vitamin K Antagonist–associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Lessons from a Devastating Disease in the Dawn of the New Oral Anticoagulants
Conclusions: VKA-associated ICH presents in a particularly vulnerable population and has a poor prognosis that may be reliably predicted by several clinicoradiologic features.

Recurrence in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: A Stenosis-based Analysis
Background: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a common cause of stroke; its incidence and prevalence vary widely by ethnicity. The aim of our study was to analyze the recurrence rate of cerebrovascular events in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic intracranial stenosis (IS).Methods: We conducted a historical cohort study including all patients admitted in our hospital for stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) during 2011 and 2012 with information on intracranial circulation (ultrasonography and/or computed tomography angiography). We identified patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic IS and studied the ...

Late-onset cerebral embolism after transcatheter aortic valve implantation under direct oral anticoagulant therapy
We describe the case of a 92-year-old woman with delayed valve thrombosis causing stroke after TAVI, who developed recurrent strokes eight months after TAVI for severe aortic valve stenosis. Transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography revealed a string-like thrombus attached to the implanted valve.

Prognosis of Intracerebral Hemorrhage after Conservative Treatment
Background: The aim of this population-based study was to determine the short-term prognosis of patients treated conservatively for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a disease with a high rate of mortality.Methods: During a 39-month period beginning in October 2007, 594 patients (mean age 72 ± 12 years; 52% female; median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score 9) with spontaneous ICH were enrolled in this prospective, population-based study.Results: Of 594 patients, 74 (12%) died during hospitalization (10.3 ± 7 days). Adjusted logistic regression analyses revealed that the in-hospital mor...

Profile of Patients with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Cerebellar Involvement
Conclusions: Cerebellar involvement in CVT is very rare, and high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis. Imaging with CT and MRI will help in confirming the diagnosis. Conventional anticoagulation is effective in treatment. Mortality was 33%, and there was no disability in survivors.

Safety of Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Administration with Computed Tomography Evidence of Prior Infarction
Background: Prior stroke within 3 months excludes patients from thrombolysis; however, patients may have computed tomography (CT) evidence of prior infarct, often of unknown time of origin. We aimed to determine if the presence of a previous infarct on pretreatment CT is a predictor of hemorrhagic complications and functional outcomes after the administration of intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients treated with IV tPA at our institution from 2009-2011. Pretreatment CTs were reviewed for evidence of any prior infarct. Further review determined if any ...
