Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma treated with tissue plasminogen activator mimicking ischemic stroke
ConclusionHemiplegic spontaneous cervical EDH occurs very rarely. It is often misdiagnosed as ischemic stroke and is likely to be administered with thrombolytic agents, making the patient's symptoms worse. Early diagnosis and rapid management of cervical EDH increase the likelihood of complete recovery of the patient's symptoms. Therefore, if there are unilateral weakness and neck pain without cranial nerve dysfunction and there is no evidence of stroke in the brain imaging, spinal EDH should be considered.

Hemorrhagic infarction secondary to cerebral venous thrombosis
Publication date: Available online 8 March 2019Source: Interdisciplinary NeurosurgeryAuthor(s): Ralph Rahme, Rose Fluss, John A. BoockvarAbstractCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of hemorrhagic stroke. A 47-year old woman presented with acute-onset global aphasia and right hemiplegia. Head CT revealed a large left frontoparietal hematoma with significant mass effect. Emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy and hematoma evacuation were thus indicated. Intraoperatively, an occlusive thrombus was identified in the superior anastomotic vein of Trolard, confirming the diagnosis of CVT. While hemorrhagic CVT ...

The Carotid Wallstent for the endovascular treatment of carotid artery stenosis
Conclusion In our experience the Carotid Wallstent was a safe and effective device for the treatment of both asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid stenosis in high surgical risk patients. Freedom from cerebrovascular events in the long term was worse in symptomatic patients.

Differential diagnosis of stroke: Subacute leukoencephalopathy following high-dose methotrexate therapy in a young patient with osteosarcoma
We describe the case of a thirty-year-old man with a subacute leukoencephalopathy following high-dose methotrexate treatment which resembled a stroke in terms of clinical presentation and MR-tomography.

Extracranial–intracranial bypass for Takayasu’s arteritis: A case report
Conclusion STA–MCA bypass to enhance cerebral blood flow in the setting of stroke symptoms due to Takayasu’s arteritis can serve as a bridge before definitive cardiothoracic treatment of the great vessels.

Early open surgery for the accidental insertion of a hemodialysis catheter into the carotid artery: a case report
Publication date: Available online 13 October 2014 Source:Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery Author(s): Yosuke Moteki , Koji Yamaguchi , Akitsugu Kawashima , Shinsuke Sato , Yoshikazu Okada Insertion of a hemodialysis catheter into the internal jugular vein is a commonly performed procedure for intermittent hemodialysis. However, arterial misplacement of the hemodialysis catheter can occur and lead to serious complications, such as major stroke due to intra-arterial thrombus. Here, we report a case in which open surgery was performed to avoid major stroke following the accidental insertion of a hemodialysis catheter into the...
