Recurrent ischemic strokes and headaches originating from Lambl's excrescence (P2.273)
CONCLUSIONS: The association between recurrent strokes and late-age onset migraine with aura should raise clinical suspicion of a cardiogenic valvular etiology. Early TEE use is necessary to diagnose cardiac valvular strands like LE. LE associated with migraine headaches should prompt a treatment with anti-thrombotic agent. While anticoagulants and cardiothoracic surgery are indicated for recurrent strokes, a combined antiplatelet therapy was effective in our patient.Disclosure: Dr. Dumitrascu has nothing to disclose.

Detection of Basilar Artery Dissection by Ultrasound
We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with unusual headache 1 week before admission. After cerebrovascular ultrasound, a basilar artery dissection was supposed despite the normal neurologic, cerebrospinal fluid, and computed tomography findings. On a follow-up color-coded duplex sonography (1 month after the onset), reperfusion was detected in the vertebral and basilar arteries, but residual high-grade stenosis of the basilar artery was also present.

Rapidly Fatal Internal Carotid Artery Mycotic Aneurysm Rupture in a Rheumatoid Patient Taking a TNF-α Inhibitor: Case Report and Literature Review
Conclusions Although fungal mycotic aneurysms of the ICA are rare, their incidence may increase with the expanded use of immunosuppressive medications. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who take potent immunosuppression regimens may be prime candidates for mycotic aneurysms because they often have two favoring conditions: atherosclerosis and immunosuppression. These ICA aneurysms carry a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and aggressive therapy, potentially by endovascular trapping/vessel occlusion coupled with long-term antifungal therapy, is essential.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Th...

Meningeal Disease Masquerading as Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Our study confirmed that serious meningeal disease could present as TIA, but this disease was relatively uncommon among patients treated in a TIA clinic. The findings highlight the diagnostic value of MRI in patients with suspected TIA.

Right Hemispheric Acute Ischemic Stroke Secondary To Right Common Carotid Artery Free Floating Thrombus Due To Hypercoagulable State In An Otherwise Healthy 48-Year-Old Woman. (P6.263)
Conclusions: Due to the high association between malignancy and hypercoagulable state, further work up needs to be warranted in the evaluation of a patient with FFT. To our knowledge this is the first case report of symptomatic FFT treated with an oral direct factor-Xa inhibitor. Further randomized clinical trials are required to assess the best therapeutic approach of this condition.Disclosure: Dr. Orjuela has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gill has nothing to disclose.

45. Patient presenting with transient phosphenes and headache: A case of fibromuscular dysplasia
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease commonly affecting the renal, extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries (VA). Etiology remains unknown. Clinical presentation is determined by distribution of arteries affected. Carotid artery involvement is associated with headache, TIA, stroke, pulsatile tinnitus, or may be asymptomatic. Treatment is being recommended in symptomatic cases. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman, was presented to our emergency department for transient phosphenes in right eye, followed by front-temporal headache. Cranial CT was normal, cervical duplex ultraso...

Sensitivity of transcranial doppler and transoesophageal echocardiography for the detection of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions TCD with bubble test is sensitive and specific for the detection of right–to–left shunts due to PFO confirmed at right heart catheterisation. In this population, TOE had low sensitivity for RLS. There was no difference in physical PFO size between TOE positive and negative patients.
