Plaque Inflammation in Recently Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis Predicts Recurrent Cerebral Ischemia (P1.233)
Conclusions: FDG-PET/CT and HR-MRI aid in the imaging of plaque inflammation and identification of patients with higher risk of subsequent cerebral ischemic events. This ongoing study intends to develop a robust prediction model for risk stratification based on luminal stenosis and plaque characteristics for better therapeutic decision-making.Disclosure: Dr. Woo has nothing to disclose.

Aortic Sarcoma Mimicking a Thrombus Filling Vascular Lumen: A Rare Cause of Cerebral Infarction (P4.364)
Conclusion- Primary aortic sarcoma is an extremely rare cause of stroke. This sarcoma may be misinterpreted as a thrombus filling vascular lumen on CT angiography, but no elevation of D-dimer is incompatible with a large thrombus. The final diagnosis can be made by surgical biopsy.Disclosure: Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose. Dr. Jeon has nothing to disclose. Dr. Park has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose.

Bilateral Frontal Cerebral Infarctions Presenting as Ascending Weakness: Case Report (P1.023)
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge there are only a few case reports describing bilateral frontal cerebral infarctions due to a single A2 segment of the anterior cerebral artery. Bilateral cerebral infarctions should be considered in patients with symmetric weakness, especially in those with vascular risk factors who do not have features consistent with an alternative etiology. Reflexes are an important feature in distinguishing between central and peripheral lesions and should be closely monitored in these patients. Timely diagnosis will enable early delivery of thrombolytic therapy to these patients improving outcomes.Disclos...

Transient Neurologic Deficit Presenting with Cortical Vein Thrombosis Caused by Intracranial Hypotension: Case Report (P1.028)
CONCLUSION We hypothesized that intracranial hypotension led to venous engorgement (based on the Monroe-Kelli doctrine) and the subsequent cortical vein thrombosis, which then produced vasogenic edema, cortical irritability, and focal seizure that mimicked ischemic stroke. Based on our findings, clinicians should consider intracranial hypotension in patients presenting with dural sinus or cortical vein thrombosis, and orthostatic headache or imaging findings of dural enhancement.Disclosure: Dr. Plancher has nothing to disclose.

Intracranial Venous Sinus Thrombosis: Report of Three Cases (P6.255)
CONCLUSIONS: Recently, the diagnosis of Intracranial Sinus Thrombosis has increased due to rising clinical awareness especially in patients with some risk factors. Initial anticoagulation with heparin is reasonable, regardless of the presence of intracranial hemorrhage. MRI and MRV have become in important diagnostic tools.Study Supported by: No oneDisclosure: Dr. Reyes Garay has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sueldo Feijoo has nothing to disclose.
