Risk factors for ischemic cerebral stroke in patient with acute amaurosis fugax
CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction were diagnosed in 0.3%-0.9% of hospitalized acute AF cases. Presence of hypercoagulable state, systemic vasculitis, CAD, and atherosclerosis each individually increased the risk of ischemic stroke by more than 3-fold; patients with these risk factors and acute AF should be closely monitored for developing acute systemic thrombotic events.PMID:36368408 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2022.10.010

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. A rare cause of ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS. APMPPE is an infrequent condition that generally has a good prognosis. In some cases, however, complications may arise owing to involvement of the central nervous system, and ischaemic stroke secondary to vasculitis is the most severe complication. In young patients with stroke who present visual symptoms and chorioretinital lesions, APMPPE must be considered in the aetiological diagnosis. PMID: 23703059 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High risk of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis but not of stroke in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s)
Conclusion: The present study confirms that GPA patients have a markedly increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We did not observe an increased risk of stroke in our cohort. Thus, our observations demonstrate a differential impact of GPA and/or its treatment on the risk of various vascular events. © 2014 American College of Rheumatology.

Left Ventricular Noncompaction With Normal Heart Function: A Rare Cause of Cardioembolic Stroke in a Young Adult (P1.026)
CONCLUSIONS: LV noncompaction, even in the absence of coexisting vascular risk factors, should be considered as a rare cause of stroke in the young. Thrombi may form in the meshwork of the noncompacted LV endocardium and embolize to the cerebral arteries. In this population, familial cardiac screening and oral anticoagulation may be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Hainline has nothing to disclose. Dr. Antoniello has nothing to disclose.

IL-17 production by CSF lymphocytes as a biomarker for cerebral vasculitis
Conclusions: Intracellular IL-17 in CSF cells is potentially useful in discriminating cerebral vasculitis as a rare cause in patients presenting with ischemic stroke. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that an increased proportion of IL-17-producing CD4+ cells in CSF of patients presenting with stroke symptoms is indicative of cerebral vasculitis (sensitivity 73%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 39–94%; specificity 100%, 95% CI 74%–100%).

HSV-2 Encephalitis Presenting as Multifocal Ischemic Stroke (P4.375)
CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion needs to be maintained to diagnose infectious vasculitis. A history of immunosuppression and headache preceding cerebral infarction were important factors that ultimately led to the appropriate work up and diagnosis in this case. Lumbar puncture and prompt initiation of antiviral treatment is essential in stroke case of suspected CNS infection with HSV-2.Disclosure: Dr. Zhang has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic stroke in Kawasaki disease
Abstract Pediatric stroke is considered to be rare. Stroke resulting from cerebral vasculitis is also uncommon in young children. With the increasing prevalence of Kawasaki disease (KD) diagnosis, this acquired vasculitis has been reported with various clinical presentations including neurological symptoms. Herein we describe the case of a KD patient presenting with stroke. A 15‐month‐old boy was referred due to stroke that occurred on the fifth day of febrile illness. He was initially admitted to another hospital due to fever and diarrhea. He was discharged and re‐admitted 2 days afterward due to left hemiplegia. D...

Intravenous thrombolysis in SLE-related stroke: a case report and literature review
AbstractPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) bear an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, evidences for treating acute stroke due to artery thrombosis in SLE patients are extremely limited. A 45-year-old woman experienced sudden left hemiplegia. She was transported to the emergency department of our hospital 2  hours after the initial symptom. According to the medical records, the patient was diagnosed with SLE at the age of 28. CT scanned 150 min after the initial symptom showed no evidence of acute changes or hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed occlusion of the right proximal mi...

Body mass index and fatal stroke in young adults: a national study
This study aimed to determine the body mass index (BMI) of fatal stroke cases amongst young adults, their clinical characteristics and the association with BMI with risk factors. All cases aged 15-44 years where death was attributed to stroke for whom BMI was available were retrieved from the National Coronial Information System (1/1/2009-31/12/2016). 179 cases were identified: haemorrhagic (165), ischaemic (5), thrombotic (6), mycotic (3), embolic (0). Proportions in each BMI category were: underweight (5.6%), normal weight (37.4%), overweight (27.4%), obese (29.6%). There was a significant linear trend in the proportion ...

An unusual cause of acute ischemic stroke: Adult Onset Still ’s Disease
We present a case where acute ischemic stroke secondary to a floating internal carotid artery thrombus was an early manifestation of AOSD. The patient also had prolonged high spiking fevers, sign ificant leucocytosis, arthralgias and transaminitis. He responded well to a high dose of oral corticosteroids and was eventually started on anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of arterial thrombosis associated with AOSD. We postulate th at thrombocytosis, vasculitis and hypercoagulability from the underlying inflammatory state may have contributed to the ischemic stroke.

Clinical characteristics and intracranial arterial lesions of non-young adult ischemic stroke patients with RNF213 p.R4810K variant
CONCLUSIONS: Non-young adult stroke patients with RNF213 p.R4810K are more likely to have ICASO in arterial segments commonly affected in MMD. The etiology of their ICASO exhibited diverse mechanisms, possibly depending on vascular risk and other environmental factors.PMID:37657303 | DOI:10.1016/j.jns.2023.120775

Stroke of undetermined cause: workup and secondary prevention
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to update the reader on current concepts of workup and secondary prevention in patients with stroke of undetermined cause. Recent findings: Clinical research in patients with cryptogenic stroke has been hampered by the lack of standardized, widely accepted diagnostic criteria. The new definition of ‘Embolic stroke of undetermined etiology’ postulates an embolic mechanism of ischemic stroke. It is based on the exclusion of lacunar infarction by brain imaging, arterial stenosis more than 50% or dissection of the respective brain-supplying artery by computed tomography/mag...

Stroke as Initial Manifestation of Adenosine Deaminase 2 Deficiency
Neuropediatrics DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1597611Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) due to homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the cat eye syndrome chromosome region, candidate 1 (CECR1) gene causes an autoimmune phenotype with systemic vasculitis affecting the skin, inner organs, and the central nervous system. Typically, stroke has been reported to follow systemic inflammatory disease and predominantly affects posterior and central brain areas. Here, we describe one of the rare patients in whom acute mesencephalic stroke preceded systemic inflammation and presented as initial clinical symptom. Symptoms typ...
