Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Lesion Patterns in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale and Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Artery Dissection
Conclusion: The present study suggests that lesion patterns observed from DWI of patients with PFO and SIAD might provide clues to the etiology of infarcts. Single lesions (cortical or subcortical) might be a typical feature of PFO associated strokes, while multiple lesions in one vascular territory might be a specific feature of SIAD associated strokes. Introduction Both patent foramen ovale (PFO) and spontaneous intracranial artery dissection (SIAD) are important stroke risk factors, especially in young and middle-aged adults (1–3). About 25% of patients with ischemic stroke are cryptogenic (4), and PFO is ...

Quantifying Cerebral Collaterals In Carotid Artery Dissection May Help Stratify Stroke Risk. (P3.110)
CONCLUSIONS: These uncontrolled data suggest that a quantified score of distal cerebral collaterals could help stratify stroke risk and help guide management in patients with carotid artery dissection. Further controlled, prospective study in a larger and more diverse sample is warranted.Study Supported by: AHA/ASA NCRP 13CRP14140001Disclosure: Dr. Southerland has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurology Podcast.

Rare causes of stroke-a frequent stroke etiology.
Abstract As a whole, rare stroke causes represent a frequent stroke etiology. Since rare stroke causes affect primarily young patients, early diagnosis and treatment are of high socioeconomic relevance. In our everyday clinical practice, cervical artery dissection, which is the most common stroke etiology among patients < 45 years, and vasculitis are particularly important. In the case of vasculitis, devastating disease courses and potentially harmful treatment options complicate clinical decision-making. Non-vasculitic vasculopathies, infections, hematological disorders, coagulation disorders, metabolic disord...

Safety and Efficacy of Thrombolysis in Cervical Artery Dissection-Related Ischemic Stroke: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Conclusion: Thrombolysis seems to be equally safe and will achieve an efficacy similar to the efficacy of non-thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to CAD. It is also as effective as thrombolysis in stroke from miscellaneous causes. Therefore, CAD patients experiencing a stroke should not be denied thrombolysis therapy. However, this will need to be confirmed in large-scale randomized studies, especially involving intravenous thrombolysis treatment.Cerebrovasc Dis 2016;42:272-279

Differential Risk Factors and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke due to Cervical Artery Dissection in Young Adults
Conclusions: While history of migraine and neck manipulation are significantly associated with CeAD, most of the traditional vascular risk factors for stroke are less prevalent in this group when compared to strokes due to other etiologies. For CeAD-related strokes, higher initial stroke severity and history of tobacco use may be associated with higher stroke-related disability, but overall, patients with CeAD have similar outcomes as compared to strokes due to other etiologies.Cerebrovasc Dis

Stroke in first‐degree relatives of patients with cervical artery dissection
ConclusionRelatives of CeAD patients had fewer strokes at a young age than relatives of non‐CeAD IS stroke patients.

Anemia in young patients with ischaemic stroke
ConclusionAnemia on admission was associated with stroke in CeAD patients and with more severe strokes in both study samples. Moderate to severe anemia may predict unfavorable outcome.

Phenotypic ASCO Characterisation of Young Patients with Ischemic Stroke in the Prospective Multicentre Observational sifap1 Study
Conclusions: This is the largest study to date, using the ASCO characterisation of ischemic stroke aetiologies. ASCO classification provides first evidence that many young patients presenting with acute stroke have concomitant stroke aetiologies associated with a substantial atherosclerosis risk profile. ASCO could be integrated in clinical routine and registry data banks, as well as large clinical trials to improve stroke documentation.Cerebrovasc Dis 2015;40:129-135

Experience of pediatric stroke from a tertiary medical center in North India
Conclusion: AIS is more common than ICH in this study and 8.9% patients died. Infection is the most common cause of pediatric stroke in Northern India which is amenable to therapy and is preventable.

Reperfusion therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke caused by cervical artery dissection
ConclusionsIn our sample, the most common form of presentation of CAD was ischaemic stroke. Reperfusion therapy seems to be a safe and effective option for these patients, and outcomes resemble those of other patients with ischaemic stroke. Larger comparative studies are necessary to better assess response to reperfusion therapy in acute ischaemic stroke.ResumenIntroducciónLas disecciones de arteriales cervicales (DAC) provocan hasta el 20% de los ictus isquémicos en menores de 45 años.

Micro-Embolic Signals and Dissection: Association or Causation for Stroke? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed 46% prevalence of MES in the studies which looked at acute stroke/TIA secondary to CAD using TCD. This finding supports the assumption that embolism may be a major cause of stroke in patients with dissection although this could be determined only in a small population.Cerebrovasc Dis

Ischemic Stroke And Cervical Artery Dissection. Risk Factors And Functional Outcome In a Single Tertiary Care Hospital: The Clinica Alemana Stroke Registry (RECCA), 1997-2003 (P3.111)
ConclusionsThe prognosis of ischemic stroke patients with cervical artery dissections is generally good. The only variable associated with a worse prognosis, was a high NIHSS at admission. This allows early identification of a group of patients who are at increased risk of significant disability at discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Diaz has nothing to disclose.

Combined thrombolysis in posterior circulation stroke caused by bilateral vertebral artery dissection in squash player.
CONCLUSIONS: Vertebral artery dissection should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of posterior circulation stroke or TIA in young patients with a history of even as subtle precipitating events as forceful head movements. Combined thrombolytic therapy may provide safe and effective treatment of stroke-complicated cases. This case report shows that expanded diagnostic protocol for acute ischemic stroke, including computed tomography perfusion study and angiography of cervical and cranial vessels, assures rapid and correct diagnosis.

Cervical Artery Dissections in the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) Stroke Database: A common stroke mechanism? (P5.161)
Conclusion: In this preliminary review, we have identified 26 patients with CAD in the first 6 months of our database collection. Although these results are from a single centre, this incidence of cervical artery dissection is much higher than expected. This analysis is ongoing and we will assess race-ethnicity, presenting features and preceding history of trauma and infection.Disclosure: Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.
