Stroke in the Young: Etiologies and Risk Factors (P7.124)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in the young shares many of the same common modifiable risk factors as stroke in the elderly including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and tobacco abuse. Other unique disease processes also contribute to stroke in this age group, often less modifiable. Given the devastating morbidity and mortality of stroke in this age group, a larger public health effort for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in the young should be aggressively pursued.Disclosure: Dr. Govind has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic stroke subtypes and migraine with visual aura in the ARIC study
Conclusion: In participants with migraine with visual aura in late middle age, increased risk of cardioembolic stroke was observed. Migraine with visual aura was linked to increased stroke risk, while migraine without visual aura was not, over the period of 20 years. These results are specific to older migraineurs.

Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy, Workflow and Time to Treatment during In-house 'Stroke Codes (P4.282)
Conclusions:Only a minority of ‘stroke codes’ were activated for new ischemic stroke/TIA or large vessel occlusion, while the remaining codes were for altered mental status, seizure, or non-neurologic etiologies. A notable delay occurred between time of code call and imaging. Improved identification of focal symptoms and use of parallel processing for evaluation will be studied in a prospective analysis in effort to improve patient identification and response times.Disclosure: Dr. Manners has nothing to disclose. Dr. Jadhav has nothing to disclose.

Evaluating Efficacy of a Stroke Code Process in Identifying Stroke Mimics Since Its Implementation in a New Primary Stroke Center (P2.316)
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that the rate of stroke mimics actually increased and plateaued over time following inception of a new PSC. Hospitals looking to establish a new PSC should be vigilant in continually reevaluating their programs to ensure stroke mimic rates remain low from year to year.Disclosure: Dr. Blair has nothing to disclose.

Performance of bedside stroke recognition tools in discriminating childhood stroke from mimics
Conclusions: Adult stroke recognition tools perform poorly in children and require modification to be useful for pediatric stroke identification. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that, for children presenting to the ED with brain attack symptoms, the CPSS and ROSIER tools do not accurately distinguish strokes from mimics.

Emergent MRI during a Stroke Alert. Single center experience. (P6.299)
Conclusions:Clinical presentation and head CT provide sufficient information for decision making about provision of IV tPA. Emergent MRI increases door-to-needle time and may only be used in rare cases when history is not available. Presence of headache, absence of atrial fibrillation and low NIHSS score may help differentiating stroke mimics from AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Kapoor has nothing to disclose.

Migraine and risk of stroke in older adults: Northern Manhattan Study
Conclusion: In our racially/ethnically diverse population-based cohort, migraine was associated with an increased risk of stroke among active smokers but not among nonsmokers.

Stroke versus non-stroke neurological complications after cardiac transplant (P4.299)
Conclusions:Neurological complications after CT in our population reach nearly a quarter of patients, similar to or even lower than in previous studies.4.3% of patients developed stroke, ischemic subtype.Pre- and perioperative variables do not differ between both groups, except from ischemic cardiomyopathy as the cause of heart failure being it more frequent in the stroke group.Disclosure: Dr. Vazquez has nothing to disclose.

Prothrombotic States and Ischemic Stroke in the Young (P3.231)
Conclusions: There is no association between prothrombotic risk factors (analyzed individually or as a group) and idiopathic ischemic stroke in the young, even in those with a PFO or with migraine.Disclosure: Dr. Boudjani has nothing to disclose.

Role of atherosclerosis, clot extent, and penumbra volume in headache during ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Headache in the early phase of ischemic stroke tends to occur less often in patients with atherosclerosis than in patients without atherosclerosis in the large cerebral arteries. This finding lends support to the hypothesis that vessel wall elasticity is a necessary contributing factor in the occurrence of headache during acute ischemic stroke.

Age-specific association of migraine with cryptogenic TIA and stroke: Population-based study
Conclusions: In this population-based study of stroke etiology stratified by age, migraine was most strongly associated with cryptogenic TIA and ischemic stroke, particularly at older ages, suggesting a causal role or a shared etiology.

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.

Cardioembolism as the unsuspected missing link between migraine and ischemic stroke
First identified in 1975, the relationship between migraine and stroke has received considerable attention.1 Forty years later, solid evidence indicates that those with migraine have a 1.5-fold to 2.5-fold increased risk of stroke.2–4 However, the strength of this relationship varies based on the subtypes of migraine (with vs without aura) and stroke (hemorrhagic vs ischemic). While the majority of data support an increased risk of ischemic stroke in those with migraine, the association between migraine without aura and ischemic stroke seems weaker and more controversial, possibly due to methodologic heterogeneity across studies.2,3
