An Unusual Cause Of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Trousseau's Syndrome From Gastric Cancer (P4.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Trousseau’s Syndrome must be considered in those presenting with recurrent strokes with an otherwise negative embolic work up especially in the elderly and those with cancer risk factors. It must prompt the clinician to look for an associated malignancy.Disclosure: Dr. JADEJA has nothing to disclose. Dr. Johnson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Soetanto has nothing to disclose.

A Case Series Of Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Associated With Gynecological Malignancies (P6.248)
Conclusions:NBTE is an important ischemic stroke mechanism. We have reported three cases where the underlying malignancy was gynecological (endometrial, ovarian, and cervical). In the first two cases, the malignancy was discovered during the investigations for the stroke mechanism, while the third had a known underlying malignancy. This series highlights the need to consider gynecological malignancies as an underlying cause of stroke in young women; and that the ischemic event can occur prior to the malignancy diagnosis.Disclosure: Dr. Schabas has nothing to disclose.

Analysis of Comorbidities in Ischemic Stroke Patients (P6.278)
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate evidence of comorbid correlations with patients’ symptoms. A follow-up analysis using the Charlson comorbidity index will provide a method for classifying comorbidity. This will provide a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death from comorbidities in ischemic stroke for use in longitudinal studies and in outcomes research in ischemic stroke. This may provide a valid prognostic indicator for ischemic stroke.Study Supported by: GHSDisclosure: Dr. Cochran has nothing to disclose. Dr. Chaves has nothing to disclose.
