Systematic analysis of brain and skull ischemic injury expression profiles reveals associations of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke
ConclusionThis systematic analysis not only helps in the understanding of the changes in the gene expression profiles of both the brain and skull with ischemic injury but also reveals the association of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke.

Young nasopharyngeal cancer patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are most prone to ischaemic risk of stroke: a national database, controlled cohort study
ConclusionsPatients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are at an elevated risk of ischaemic stroke, without significant difference among treatment modalities. The relative risk is more prominent in younger patients. Comorbidity may enhance the risk.

Combined therapy with COX-2 inhibitor and 20-HETE inhibitor reduces tumor growth and the adverse effects of ischemic stroke associated with COX-2 inhibition.
Abstract 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), Cyp4a-derived eicosanoid, is a lipid mediator that promotes tumor growth as well as causing detrimental effects in cerebral circulation. We determined whether concurrent inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 20-HETE affects colon tumor growth and ischemic stroke outcomes. The expression of Cyp4a and COXs and production of 20-HETE and PGE2 were determined in murine colon carcinoma (MC38) cells. We then examined the effects of combined treatment with rofecoxib, a potent COX-2 inhibitor, and HET0016, a potent Cyp4a inhibitor, on the growth and proliferation of ...

Massive Epistaxis from Internal Carotid Pseudoaneurysm during Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
CONCLUSION: Carotid blowout syndrome in NPC patients during acute ischemic stroke warrants further cervical angiographic study. Endovascular treatment provides immediate hemostasis and obliteration of ICA pseudoaneurysm. PMID: 26077184 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Successful deep brain stimulation for central post-stroke pain and dystonia in a single operation
Conclusions Deep brain stimulation targeting multiple brain networks in one operation is feasible and safe. Deep brain stimulation may be considered in some refractory cases of central post-stroke pain; however, it requires meticulous programming.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Neck: An Unlikely Stroke Mimic
Stroke mimics are noncerebrovascular conditions that present with classical stroke symptoms. They account for up to 30% of stroke presentations in the emergency department (ED). Emergency physicians are faced with a diagnostic dilemma —rapid treatment of stroke, a leading cause or mortality and morbidity in the United States, or ruling out the ever-growing list of conditions that mimic strokes.

Risk of Stroke After Definitive Radiotherapy —Cause for Concern or Modest Risk?
With the rapidly increasing prevalence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), largely driven by the human papillomavirus (HPV) epidemic, and with relative equipoise between radiation-based and surgery-based treatment protocols, there has been renewed interest in describing differences in functional outcomes between the 2 treatment modalities. Radiation is theoretically related to stroke risk due to carotid artery intimal injury, which could lead to the development of atherosclerosis. Both carotid artery stenosis and carotid intima-medial thickness have been shown to be associated with radiation therapy providing...

Radiotherapy Induced Atherosclerosis and Stroke Syndrome (RIASS) Causing Bilateral Vision Loss and Multifocal Strokes. A Case Report and Literature Review (P4.358)
Conclusions: Evidence-based guidelines for the management of asymptomatic and symptomatic RIASS are lacking. We recommend periodic surveillance with carotid duplex scan for early diagnosis and implementation of effective stroke-prevention therapies. Most studies are retrospective surgical case series on patients with extracranial carotid stenosis (ECS) and favor either stenting or endarterectomy. Neither approach is clearly superior, as no head-to-head trial comparing both procedures in this context exists. Bypass surgery has been used in cases of HNXRT associated ECS but the long term effect has not been demonstrated. Aty...

Endovascular aspiration to treat acute ischemic stroke caused by embolic carcinoma.
We report a rare case of large-cell, high-grade neuroendocrine lung cancer embolus occluding the basilar artery, which likely detached into the bloodstream from the lung after intruding into a pulmonary vein. The embolus was treated with endovascular aspiration, and achieved modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 2c revascularization. After initial neurological recovery, the patient suffered respiratory arrest and support was withdrawn 48 h later. We discuss the tumor characteristics and implications for treatment of acute ischemic stroke in patients with cancer diagnoses. PMID: 30786802 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Embolic Stroke Due to a Mural Thrombus in the Ascending Aorta Following Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy.
Authors: Ochiai Y, Tsunogae M, Ueda M Abstract A 59-year-old woman with small-cell lung carcinoma achieved tumor disappearance after cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBC) and radiation treatment but subsequently experienced right hemiparesis and aphasia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left middle cerebral artery territory acute infarction and left internal carotid artery occlusion. Ultrasonography revealed a mobile thrombus in the left common and internal carotid arteries, and contrast computed tomography revealed a mural thrombus in the ascending aorta. Based on these findings, embolic stroke due to aort...

Stroke after Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer – What is the Risk?
Treating head and neck squamous cell carcinomas with radiotherapy has been shown to cause damage to the cerebrovasculature. This retrospective cohort study found that any exposure to radiation was associated with a 46% higher hazard of stroke, and with radiotherapy as the sole treatment modality, 70% increased risk of stroke compared to surgery alone. Implications of this research speak to the need for adequate follow-up and survivorship care among patients that were treated with RT.

Acute Ischemic Stroke as a Result of Paradoxical Embolus in a Patient with Renal Cell Carcinoma, Intravenous Tumor Thrombus Extension, and Patent Foramen Ovale
Conclusions: This is the first reported case of intraoperative paradoxical embolism in the setting of RCC with cavoatrial extension and PFO. The presence of PFO may be a risk factor for severe cerebrovascular complications in the surgical management of RCC with venous involvement.
