Eagle Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Stroke in a Young Patient
We report the case of a 26-year-old man who presented to the emergency department because he noticed that his right hand had become clumsy. He first noticed this symptom five days before his presentation, but he noticed that his symptom had improved significantly since it began. He reported that he had episodes of neck pain and pain around the ear. He visited the family physician clinic several times for this complaint and was diagnosed as having a temporomandibular joint disorder. Neurological examination revealed decreased muscle strength in the right upper limb with a power of 4/5 along with a sensory deficit. The coord...

Late-onset cerebral embolism after transcatheter aortic valve implantation under direct oral anticoagulant therapy
We describe the case of a 92-year-old woman with delayed valve thrombosis causing stroke after TAVI, who developed recurrent strokes eight months after TAVI for severe aortic valve stenosis. Transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography revealed a string-like thrombus attached to the implanted valve.

Noninvasive In Vivo Thrombus Imaging in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
CONCLUSIONS: 18F-GP1 positron emission tomography and computed tomography angiography is a novel noninvasive method of identifying in vivo cerebrovascular thrombosis, which holds major promise in understanding the role and origin of thrombosis in stroke.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT03943966.PMID:37439259 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.122.318204

Clot composition and treatment approach to acute ischemic stroke: The road so far
We present a review of recent studies on the histopathologic analysis of thrombi, studies of MRI, and CT imaging correlation with thrombus histology, and detailed structural analysis of thromboemboli retrieved by thrombectomy devices during an acute ischemic stroke.

Profile of Patients with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Cerebellar Involvement
Conclusions: Cerebellar involvement in CVT is very rare, and high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis. Imaging with CT and MRI will help in confirming the diagnosis. Conventional anticoagulation is effective in treatment. Mortality was 33%, and there was no disability in survivors.

CT Perfusion Imaging in the Selection of Acute Stroke Patients to Undergo Emergent Carotid Endarterectomy
Severe acute stroke patients with critical carotid stenosis or occlusion without intracranial thrombus typically do not undergo emergent carotid thromboendarterectomy (CEA) because of the risk of reperfusion-related intracranial hemorrhage. Past studies have not consistently demonstrated benefit of early operative intervention. Cerebral computed tomography (CT), cervical and cerebral CT angiography (CTA), and cerebral CT perfusion (CTP) imaging may identify a subset of acute stroke patients without intracranial thrombus who may benefit from emergent CEA.

Septic Thromboembolic Stroke via Atrial-Esophageal Fistula as a Delayed Complication of Cardiac Ablation (P6.018)
Conclusions: In the perioperative period following CA, diagnostic testing to rule out the often fatal complication of an A-E fistula may be non-revealing. A high index of suspicion should nonetheless be maintained that an occult A-E fistula is a cause of delayed presentation of septic cerebral thromboembolism.Disclosure: Dr. Derani has nothing to disclose.

Cardiac CT Differentiates Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi from Circulatory Stasis in Acute Stroke Patients
Conclusion: cCT is more accurate than TEE in the detection of LAA thrombi, especially when combined with the measurement of LAA/aorta HU ratio.
