Neurotoxocariasis, a treatable infectious etiology of Stroke (P3.318)
Conclusions:Toxocara infection is an uncommon but treatable etiology of stroke, and should be particularly considered in patients with eosinophilia, positive serology, myocarditis and embolic strokes.Disclosure: Dr. Garcia Monco has nothing to disclose.

Steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) with stroke like symptoms. A case report. (P5.104)

Primary Central Nervous System Vasculitis Triggered by Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis (P01.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Our case is the first reported case in the literature of proven CMV encephalitis triggering a subsequent non-infectious CNS vasculitis probably secondary to an autoimmune response. The absence of findings in the initial MRIs of the brain in spite of an intermittently symptomatic patient and the subsequent development of ischemic infarcts supports the theory of intermittent focal hypoperfusion, finally leading to infarction. The high clinical suspicion even with lack of clear evidence of the disease process and empirical treatment led to a successful clinical recovery.Disclosure: Dr. Rosales has nothing to disc...

Herpes-Simplex Virus 2: A New Player in Cerebral Vasculitis (P03.259)
CONCLUSIONS: The spectrum of atypical CNS manifestations related to HSV is emerging. We report a case of cerebral vasculitis, which was masked by the initial presentation as thalamic hemorrhage and followed by an encephalitic syndrome and multifocal ischemic stroke. The work-up revealed HSV-2 as a new and treatable cause of infectious vasculitis.Supported by: JS is supported by a scientific fellowship from the European Federation of Neurological Societies.Disclosure: Dr. Sellner has nothing to disclose.
