P 165 Incidence, clinical characteristics and longterm course of headache in patients with stroke (DMKG multicenter study)
Post stroke headache is a symptom which is generally not further differentiated. According to previous European and American studies, it is a common phenomenon. Nevertheless, other symptoms of stroke, such as palsy or aphasia, are dominating clinical assessments. However, the symptom “headache” can be an essential part of the clinical picture as in subarachnoid bleeding or cerebral venous thrombosis and it is unclear which risk factors modulate the symptoms and the occurrence of headache in stroke.

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).

27. Botulotoxin in the treatment of spasticity – Our experience
Conclusion: Btx is an effective and safe treatment. An integral part of the treatment program for patients with spasticity must be rehabilitation, stretching, splinting, physical processes. The prerequisite is the motivation and cooperation of patients.

45. Patient presenting with transient phosphenes and headache: A case of fibromuscular dysplasia
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease commonly affecting the renal, extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries (VA). Etiology remains unknown. Clinical presentation is determined by distribution of arteries affected. Carotid artery involvement is associated with headache, TIA, stroke, pulsatile tinnitus, or may be asymptomatic. Treatment is being recommended in symptomatic cases. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman, was presented to our emergency department for transient phosphenes in right eye, followed by front-temporal headache. Cranial CT was normal, cervical duplex ultraso...

P 219. Navigated repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in stroke rehabilitation (randomized blind sham-controlled study), Preliminary results: safety and tolerability
Conclusion: Repeated nTMS is safe and effective add-method in motor post-stroke rehabilitation, but continuous study and forming protocols are necessary to validate this method.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01652677.

P 168. TMS neurophysiology and interventional rTMS in children with perinatal stroke: Safety and tolerability in the PLASTIC CHAMPS trial
Introduction/Question: Perinatal stroke causes hemiplegic cerebral palsy and lifelong disability. TMS can define neurophysiology and central therapeutic targets while rTMS carries therapeutic potential in adult stroke but have not been applied to the more plastic developing brain. Ipsilateral projections from the unlesioned hemisphere to the affected hand are prominent in this population and the effects of non-lesioned inhibitory rTMS are unknown.Methods: PLASTIC CHAMPS is a randomized, blinded, factorial clinical trial of rTMS and constraint therapy (CIMT) to enhance upper extremity function in children (6–18years) with...

P 174. Effects of paired associative stimulation on developmental motor plasticity in children
Introduction: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offers increasingly sophisticated means of assessing neurophysiology and neuroplasticity mechanisms but applications in children have been limited. Paired associative stimulation (PAS) is an advanced TMS method that pairs peripheral sensory stimulation with TMS primary motor cortex (M1) stimulation. PAS induces rapid, reversible and topographically specific increases in adult motor cortex excitability consistent with NMDAR-dependent long-term potentiation. PAS has not been studied in the more plastic brains of children.Objectives: Our aim wasto define the developmental ...

P 162. The effects of direct current stimulation on motor cortex excitability in children and adolescents
Conclusion: Our study will provide new insight into the principles of tDCS stimulation and its therapeutic value in treatment of childhood neurological and psychiatric disorders. This may further refine the effective use of tDCS in pediatric population.

A cloudy story: Guillain–Barré syndrome concealed by a spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage
We present a case of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), probably associated with influenza vaccine, occurring in a patient some days after a spontaneous haemorrhagic stroke. A 79-year-old woman was admitted to the neurosurgery department after a sudden severe headache, dizziness, and progressive generalised weakness. She had a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in dicumarolic therapy. Head CT scan showed a haemorrhagic stroke in left cerebellum, with compression on the fourth ventricle.
