Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies Examining Effect of Anticoagulation and Risk of Cerebral Hemorrhage in patients with Cerebral Microbleeds (P2.276)
Conclusions:Results of this meta-analysis suggest that patients with CMBs started on anticoagulation after ischemic stroke are more likely to have ICH outcomes than patients without CMBs. However, the study was limited by small sample sizes based on extracted data and lack of quality prospective cohort studies meeting inclusion criteria. Further investigation is necessary to conclude increased risk of ICH in this patient population.Disclosure: Dr. Faheem has nothing to disclose.

Headache as an Independent Predictor of Favorable Outcome in Older Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients (P2.278)
Conclusions:Although older patients had lower odds of reporting a headache at the time of presentation, we found that those that did report a headache were at higher odds of a good outcome at discharge. This may factor into discussions regarding ICH prognosis although further study incorporating this into existing prognostic models is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Gupta has nothing to disclose.

Could Cocaine Exposure Mitigate Edema Formation in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage? (P2.279)
Conclusions:Our study demonstrates that cocaine was associated with higher ICH volumes, with comparatively lower volumes of PHE. Due to small sample size, there, was insufficient power to draw conclusions regarding the effect of cocaine exposure on PHE or ICH volume; nevertheless, the difference in the ICH: PHE ratio was significant. The mechanism for lower relative edema volume remains unclear and a large prospective study is needed to assess the roles of vasoconstrictors in preventing edema expansion in ICH.Disclosure: Dr. Singh has nothing to disclose.

The Temporospatial Role of Microcirculatory Dysfunction in the Prediction of Ischemia or Infarction in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhages (P2.281)
Conclusions:This ongoing study suggests that patients with low mean minimal pulsatility index had poor functional outcomes relative to patients that had higher mean pulsatility index.Study Supported by: This work was supported in part by a grant from the McKnight Brain Research Foundation, Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research Trust Fund, a grant from NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a Medical Student Anesthesia Research Fellowship awarded by the Foundation for Anesthesiology Education and Research, a grant from the Medical Student Research Program at the University of Florida, and the Departmen...

Success of Intravenous Infusion of Verapamil for Refractory Vasospasm in aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (P2.291)
Conclusions:This report indicates that intravenous continuous infusion of verapamil may be used for rescue therapy in transiently responsive cerebral vasospasm to IA verapamil.

The Characteristics of Infectious Intracranial Aneurysm and Indication of Cerebral Angiogram in Infective Endocarditis (P2.296)
Conclusions:IIAs were found in approximately one fifth of IE persons who underwent DSA. Imaging characteristics such as SWI hemorrhage in sulci or parenchyma and contrast enhancement appear to correlate with the presence of IIA. DSA should be performed when they are present.Disclosure: Dr. Cho has nothing to disclose. Dr. Marquardt has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zhang has nothing to disclose.

Multiple Acute Ischemic Strokes due to Cerebral AVM Vascular Steal Phenomenon (P2.298)
Conclusions:This is a case of multiple bilateral cortical and subcortical ischemic strokes in a setting of a large, long-standing cerebral AVM and an otherwise unremarkable stroke workup. TCD showed severely dampened VMR bilaterally which strongly suggests a failure of cerebral auto-regulation and a potential vascular steal phenomenon secondary to the AVM.Disclosure: Dr. Bhatt has nothing to disclose.

Hospital utilization, length stay and inhospital mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage among different racial groups (P2.300)
Conclusions:There are significant differences in hospital utilization, in hospital mortality, LOS and disposition among different racial groups. Interestingly minorities have higher utilization and lower inhospital mortality compared to Whites. Further studies needs to be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Maud has nothing to disclose.

Fatal Atypical Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in an African American Female with Sarcoidosis Associated Lymphopenia (SAL). A Rare Case Report and Literature Review. (P2.317)
Conclusions:This is the first case of SAL presenting with medullary PML in an African-American patient not on immunosuppressive therapy. The role of SAL in PML pathogenesis or Sarcoidosis Associated Immunodeficiency is unclear. No guidelines for CD4/CD8 monitoring are available and needs further investigation. We suggest an aggressive diagnostic approach in evaluating Sarcoidosis with atypical neurologic manifestations and neuroimaging to reduce morbidity-mortality.Study Supported by: Not applicable.Disclosure: Dr. Rathore has nothing to disclose.

Zika associated Guillain-Barre syndrome in the United States (P2.327)
Conclusions:Zika can induce GBS after a brief viral illness. Neuropathy can be a mixture of demyelinating and axonal. Dysautonomia may also be present including severe dysphagia, orthostatics and retention.Zika RNA has a short detection window in serum and CSF making a diagnosis time sensitive. Serological assays using IgM and IgG cross-react with other flaviviruses making them unable to differentiate between recent Zika exposure and cross reactivity with Dengue and Chikungunya. Our pt likely had prior exposure to Dengue, being from an endemic area. Prior Dengue exposure may possibly modulate the response to Zika via antib...

Giant-Cell Arteritis Presenting as Isolated Bilateral CN-VI Palsies: A Rare Case Report of a 65 Year Male. (P2.378)
Conclusions:GCA is the most prevalent systemic vasculitis in the elderly. It can present with a wide variety of symptoms ranging from fatigue, headache, visual loss, and even stroke. However as noted in this case, isolated CN-VI palsy can be a very rare, early manifestation of GCA. As GCA responds well to corticosteroid therapy, prompt diagnosis and treatment is critical to prevent and/or limit neurologic sequelae. As highlighted by this case, in the event of recurrent incidents and absence of other diagnosis; GCA should be considered even if headache is absent.Disclosure: Dr. Lunagariya has nothing to disclose.
