Sudden bilateral anterior cerebral infarction: unusual stroke associated with unusual vascular anomalies
We describe a 38-year-old male smoker and heavy alcohol user, who awoke with sudden onset of weakness of both lower limbs, and bladder and bowel incontinence. He had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol the previous night. There was no significant past medical history including other vascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease. On admission, he was mute and abulic. The frontal release signs including the forced grasping and the snout reflex were present. Routine full blood count and biochemical analysis were normal. MRI of the brain showed bilateral, nearly symmetrical ACA infarction (figure 1A–C). Time-of-flig...

Successful endovascular recanalization of a partially occluded basilar artery fenestration.
Authors: Meinel TR, Pult F, Gralla J, Arnold M, Bassetti C, Jung S Abstract A 76-year-old man with a history of arterial hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, dyslipidemia, family history of cardiovascular events, prestroke and overweight presented 90 minutes after acute onset of right-sided sensorimotor hemiparesis, hemiataxia and dysarthria (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 9/42). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a pontine ischemia and MR angiography showed a thrombus in the middle to distal portion of the basilar artery. Owing to the location, an occlusion of one lumen of a fenestrate...
