Endovascular Coil Embolization for Recurrent Bow Hunter's Stroke
Intern Med. 2022 May 14. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8906-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBow hunter's stroke is a rare cause of vertebrobasilar infarction. There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. We herein report a case of bow hunter's stroke successfully treated by endovascular treatment. A 70-year-old man presented with central vertigo. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed posterior circulation infarcts. Dynamic angiography revealed thrombus formation and hypoperfusion of the right vertebral artery upon head rotation to the left. Endovascular parent artery occlusion of the right vertebral artery wa...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as a complication of COVID-19 infection - A case report
CONCLUSION: High index of suspicion of CVST is necessary when a patient presents with unexplained neurological manifestation following a recent COVID-19 infection to prevent from life-threatening complications. Furthermore, clinicians should not underestimate the multisystem involvement of COVID-19.PMID:35127077 | PMC:PMC8800506 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103326

Cardioembolic Stroke Due to Cardiac Sarcoidosis Diagnosed by Pathological Evaluation of the Retrieved Thrombus
Intern Med. 2021 Oct 26. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.7963-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 70-year-old woman undergoing glucocorticoid therapy for cardiac sarcoidosis was brought to our hospital with the sudden onset of right hemiplegia and aphasia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a high diffusion-weighted imaging signal in the left frontotemporal lobe and disruption of blood flow in the M1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery. Hence, she underwent thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, resulting in marked improvement in her neurological symptoms. A pathologic evaluation of the thrombus suggested its ...

Locked-in Syndrome Due to Meningovascular Syphilis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Intern Med. 2021 Oct 19. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8269-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report a 46-year-old man presenting with locked-in syndrome secondary to meningovascular syphilis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple acute infarctions in the left ventromedial pons, right basis pontis, and left basal ganglia. His locked-in syndrome was hypothesized to have been caused by thrombosis of the small paramedian branches of the basilar artery due to syphilitic arteritis. This is a unique case of bilateral ventromedial pontine infarction caused by meningovascular syphilis that presente...
