A rare cause of stroke in young: PHACE syndrome (P1.253)
Conclusions:Neurocutaneous syndromes are typically diagnosed in childhood and can be a rare cause of stroke in young. Our patient suffered an ischemic stroke secondary to sequelae of undiagnosed PHACE syndrome. Early identification of neurocutaneous syndromes allows for proper surveillance, evaluation, and preventative education for development of complications.Disclosure: Dr. Fitzgerald has nothing to disclose.

Effective Mechanical Thrombectomy in a Patient with Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Cardiac Myxoma
We describe a patient with hyperacute stroke caused by cardiac myxoma who had a good outcome with rapid recanalization through mechanical thrombectomy. A 46-year-old man was admitted with acute symptoms of right side hemiplegia and global aphasia. Brain computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a T occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was administered. However, his clinical symptoms did not improve. Thus, we performed endovascular treatment and had a successful outcome. A pathologic examination of the retrieved clot revealed a tumor emboli from a cardiac myxo...

Akut retinanekr ózis és ischaemiás stroke társulása
We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with symptoms of acute retinal necrosis at the Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University. The clinical picture fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and after 3 days of the immediately initiated adequate therapy, contralateral hemiparesis appeared, that was confirmed as an ipsilateral stroke by imaging study. The PCR analysis of an intraocular sample confirmed the presence of VZV. Mild anti-VZV IgA positivity was observed in the cerebrospinal fluid sample. Based on the current ophthalmic disease, the associated stroke along...

Evaluation of Clinico-radiological, Molecular and Histological Diagnosis of m.3243A>G-related MELAS Syndrome (P2.259)
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that SLE phenomenology is much more uniform than purported in the literature. These findings highlights the importance of a comprehensive clinical examination including detailed visual field evaluation and consideration of m.3243A>G in all cases of stroke and encephalopathy irrespective of age, gender or family pedigree with an unrecognised high recurrence rate within first year of initial presentation. Aggressive mangement of seizure is advocated to prevent ensuing SLE. Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Ng has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gorman has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schaefer has nothi...

Stroke Due to Orthognathic Surgery: Case Report of a Rare Complication
Summary: Le Fort I osteotomy is a frequent surgical procedure used in orthognathic surgeries to treat severe malocclusions and is associated with relatively rare surgical complications. Here, the authors report a case of thrombotic ischemic stroke as a result of this procedure, a complication still not described in the literature. A 19-year-old man with class II malocclusion and retrognathia underwent orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes. The surgery included a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy with vertical impaction, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular advancement, and genioplasty. Postoperativ...

Features of Patients with Transient Monocular Blindness: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Japan
Conclusions: TMB was not common in our TIA inpatients. This study suggests that patients with TMB should immediately undergo a diagnostic workup, including brain and vessel imaging, and cardiac evaluation, as is performed in patients with other cerebral TIA symptoms. A larger, prospective cohort is needed to confirm the risks and outcomes of patients with TMB in the Japanese population.
