EP 9. Prevalence, clinical characteristics and long-term course of headache in patients with stroke (multicenter study of DMKG)
Headache in association with stroke is a symptom not at all differentiated and investigated in Germany. According to previous data, it seems to be a common problem, but usually other symptoms of stroke are predominating. Furthermore, the treatment is focused on acute therapy of ischemic stroke followed by rehabilitation. However, headaches in subarachnoid hemorrhage as a special type of stroke represents the leading clinical symptom and thus also be diagnostically significant. Headache in stroke should be classified as symptomatic headache (IHS 6.1 –6.2).

ID 381 – Functional neuroimaging study of patients with disorders of consciousness. Value of default mode network (DMN)
Resting FMRI allows estimation the neural networks activation, connectivity in the brain with present or absent evidence of consciousness. Patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) show selective activation of the default mode network (DMN) as consciousness level increases. The study aim was to evaluate the DMN activation parameters in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimal consciousness state (MCS). Material and methods: 4 patients with DOC: 1-anoxic, 1-traumatic, 1-hemorrhagic stroke, 1-acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

P99. Predictors of new cerebral microbleeds in patients with antiplatelet drug therapy
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are an MRI marker of vascular damage in the brain and are associated with an increased risk for ischemic and especially hemorrhagic stroke. CMBs are known to be more prevalent in patients who take antiplatelet drug therapy, which is commonly used for secondary prevention in patients with ischemic stroke. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) to identify patients at high risk for the development of new CMBs under antiplatelet drug therapy.

P 78. The prognostic value of motor-evoked potentials in motor recovery and functional outcome after stroke – a systematic review of the literature
Conclusions: TMS may be helpful in prognosis of motor recovery and functional outcome in stroke patients, and may become additional tool in making decision about qualification to rehabilitation ward and length of rehabilitation process. However, further studies are necessary to determine the real value of this method. The interpretation of the results of our review was complicated by methodological variation between the included studies.

4. ICU EEG study
This study suggests that long-term EEG monitoring in an unselected ICU population rarely influences treatment or outcome. In a selected population with known epilepsy the benefit may be larger.
