Juvenile stroke - what is important?
Abstract Stroke in young adults is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for all persons involved. Approximately 15% of ischemic strokes occur in young adults. Lack of awareness of the symptoms in emergency departments often results in delayed diagnosis and access to specific therapeutic options, such as revascularization. The causes are often heterogeneous and necessitate specific investigations. The etiology of juvenile stroke includes drug abuse, vasculitis and arteriopathies, such as reversible vasoconstriction syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, although the prevalence of classical va...

Clinical and Imaging Characteristics of Arteriopathy Subtypes in Children with Arterial Ischemic Stroke: Results of the VIPS Study PEDIATRICS
CONCLUSIONS: Childhood arteriopathy subtypes have some typical features that aid diagnosis. Better imaging methods, including vessel wall imaging, are needed for improved classification of focal cerebral arteriopathy of childhood.

Stroke and syphilis: A retrospective study of 53 patients.
CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of syphilitic stroke should be suspected in young patients as a manifestation of syphilis, and tests for neurosyphilis should be routine in neurology departments to make a prompt diagnosis, thereby preventing psychological sequelae.

Fatal ischemic stroke caused by cerebral small arteritis in a patient with giant cell arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterized by autoimmune vasculitis involving large and medium-sized vessels [1,2]. Ischemic stroke is seen in 2.8 –7% of patients with GCA, and the prognosis of GCA patients after developing ischemic stroke is unfavorable, especially in patients with involvement of intracranial large arteries [1,3,4]. Here, we describe an autopsy case of GCA in which the patient presented with ischemic stroke related to multi ple intracranial large-artery stenoses, and ultimately fatal ischemic stroke.

Psychostimulant Use and Fatal Stroke in Young Adults.
Abstract Psychostimulant use is associated with increased stroke risk. To determine the proportion of psychostimulant users among fatal strokes in young adults (15-44 years), all cases were retrieved from the National Coronial Information System (1/1/2009-31/12/2016). A total of 279 cases were identified: hemorrhagic (259), ischemic (8), thrombotic (8), and mycotic (4). Fifty (17.9%) were identified as psychostimulant users. Psychostimulants in blood were detected in 37/45 where toxicology was available, predominantly methamphetamine (32/45). Hemorrhagic strokes in the psychostimulant group were more likely to be...

COVID-19 Infection and Recurrent Stroke in Young Patients With Protein S Deficiency: A Case Report
Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection potentializes the prothrombotic effect and vascular inflammation by accentuating protein S deficit. The place of steroids seems justifiable in the presence of symptoms of vasculitis in brain imaging.

Large artery intracranial stenosis in young adults with ischaemic stroke
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2021 Dec 14:S0035-3787(21)00776-1. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2021.10.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLarge artery intracranial stenosis (ICS) is a common finding in stroke patients, but is much less prevalent in Western countries than in Asia and in young adults than in the elderly. We investigated the prevalence and causes of ICS among French young adults with ischaemic stroke. Clinical and radiological data of patients aged 18-54 years treated consecutively for acute ischaemic stroke in the anterior circulation at a tertiary stroke centre were analysed retrospectively. Patients with>50% ICS were ide...
