Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy with and without thrombolysis for acute large artery ischaemic stroke at a Tertiary Stroke Centre (P5.259)
Conclusions:Our study supports the use of direct EVT for patients in whom alteplase is contraindicated. We observed no additional benefit of adding intravenous thrombolysis to EVT but the estimates are imprecise due to small numbers. Nevertheless, the results are consistent with observational data from other centres, and support a randomised controlled trial of EVT vs. EVT with bridging alteplase.Disclosure: Dr. Wee has nothing to disclose.

"Fou Rire Prodromique" as the Presentation of a Left Frontal Ischemic Stroke (P02.040)
CONCLUSIONS: Frontal lobe involvement affecting the Broca's area, as we described in our case, has only been described once. We conclude that the patient's laughter attack was the initial manifestation of the stroke suggesting that an acute infarct of Broca's area is capable of producing this unusual clinical presentation.Disclosure: Dr. Rosales has nothing to disclose.
