Atypical imaging findings of presumed stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy syndrome in the brainstem
AbstractThe authors present an atypical case of presumed stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome in the brainstem. A 29-year-old male, who had been treated with resection and subsequent craniospinal radiation for posterior fossa medulloblastoma 21 years before, presented with subacute progressive left hemiparesis evolving over 4 days. Hematological findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and electroencephalogram (EEG) were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a round area of hyperintense FLAIR signal centered within the pons associated with central restricted diffusion, periphera...

Prognostic Factors of Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks after Radiation Therapy (SMART) Syndrome ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: Age, use of steroid treatment at the diagnosis of SMART syndrome, and MR imaging findings of abnormal susceptibility signal, restricted diffusion, and subcortical WM change in the acute SMART region can be prognostic factors in SMART syndrome.

A Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study of Cerebrovascular Disease and Late Effects After Radiation Therapy for Craniopharyngioma
ConclusionsPatients with craniopharyngioma treated with RT have a high prevalence of stroke and vascular abnormalities, particularly those with low HDL and longer duration of time since RT. There is a trend to suggest that continual GH replacement may reduce the risk of stroke. These patients should undergo careful monitoring and aggressive modification of stroke risk factors.

Cancer and Cerebrovascular Disease
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the latest information about the interactions between cancer and cerebrovascular disease.Recent FindingsAdditional data support the finding that both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke are important complications of cancer or its treatment. Reperfusion therapy is being given successfully to patients with stroke complicating cancer.SummaryHemorrhagic stroke may occur with metastatic disease to the brain, coagulopathies from cancer, in particular leukemia, or as complications of chemotherapy. Ischemic stroke also may be a complication of metastatic disease with local invasion of vessels, a pro...

O-032 Treatment outcomes for ARUBA eligible brain arteriovenous malformations: a comparison of real world data from the NVQI-QOD AVM registry to the ARUBA trial
ConclusionARUBA eligible patients from the NVQI-QOD registry demonstrate a significantly lower risk of stroke or death with intervention of 8.0% (N=174) compared to the 30.7% (N=114) ARUBA trial interventional risk, and is nearly equivalent to the ARUBA trial medical management risk of 10.1% (N=109) over 33 months.Disclosures N.

E-006 Familial Incidence of the Congenital Torcular Dural Arteriovenous Shunt
Purpose There are several hereditary disorders that are well known to be associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) involving the central nervous system including Sturge-Weber, Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber, and Parkes-Weber syndromes as well as hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and hereditary neurocutaneous angiomatosis. Furthermore, familial incidence of AVMs in the absence of congenital hereditary disorders also has been reported. Herein, we describe the occurrence of the giant torcular herophili (TH) dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in two pediatric cousins treated with endovascular embolization. Case report C...

Status Epilepticus in Patients with SMART (P5.012)
CONCLUSIONS We describe three patients with SMART presenting with SE. Our cases raise the concern that SMART is not necessarily a migraine phenomenon but can be a form of focal SE associated with stroke-like symptoms. In patients with radiographic suspicion of SMART we suggest a low threshold for vEEG monitoring and aggressive anti-epileptic management.Disclosure: Dr. Fan has nothing to disclose.

In Regard to Arthurs et  al
To the Editor: Arthurs et  al (1) present another large database analysis, this one focusing on the risk of stroke for head and neck cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. These analyses allow the use of relatively large numbers to obtain “significant” P values. Their finding of a 46% to 70% higher cause-specific hazard of stroke with radiation therapy compared with the “control” of surgery alone seems very compelling.

Long ‐Term Safety of Growth Hormone – A Combined Registry Analysis
ConclusionsPatients with risk factors for malignancy or type 2 diabetes should be treated with caution and monitored during follow‐up, but current published data provide reassurance on the long‐term safety profile of GH in patients receiving GH treatment.This article is protected by copyright.

Carotid Artery Stenosis after Radiation Therapy in a Patient with Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review.
We reported a case of carotid artery stenosis with stroke symptoms detected in a patient with lung cancer after radiotherapy. The patient was a 58-year-old male with a complaint of \"a single episode of temporary amaurosis in the right eye for 10 minutes". The clinical diagnosis at admission, after consideration of the patient's age, medical history, and auxiliary examination results, was as follows: lung cancer; right common carotid artery stenosis; left common carotid artery stenosis; left vertebral artery stenosis; and right subclavian artery occlusion with right subclavian steal syndrome (Grade 3). Carotid angioplasty...
