Imaging Negative Stroke: Diagnoses and Outcomes in Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator–Treated Patients
Conclusions: Because most INS patients were found to have NNCI, which may represent either transient ischemic attack or aborted stroke, and there were no intracerebral hemorrhages in the INS group, our data support the safety of administering IV t-PA to all patients in whom acute ischemic stroke is clinically suspected. We have demonstrated that NNCI patients and stroke mimics are common, and future larger scale prospective studies are required to delineate the true frequencies of each and to evaluate differences in outcomes.

Awareness of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke in a Nigeria University
This study assessed awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs among students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional survey involving 994 (500 students and 494 staff) respondents. Information on the awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs was collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.Results: Weakness (66.2%) was the most commonly identified warning sign of stroke with more staff (69.8%) identifying correctly than students (62.6%). Hypertension (83.4%) was the most commonly identif...

Migraine Improves after Ischemic Stroke
Objective: To assess if migraine frequency spontaneously changes after stroke.Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has been reported to decrease migraine attacks. Because many closures are carried out after an ischemic stroke, it is possible that migraine spontaneously improves after stroke.Methods: We have prospectively collected all patients with ischemic stroke and active migraine admitted to our stroke unit and have compared their migraine frequency before and 6, 12, and 24 months after stroke.Results: We studied 43 patients. Mean follow-up was 1.3 ± .5 years. The mean number of migraine attacks per month de...

Synthetic Cannabis and Acute Ischemic Stroke
We describe 2 cases that introduce a previously unreported association between synthetic cannabis use and ischemic stroke in young adults. A 22-year-old woman presented with dysarthria, left hemiplegia, and left hemianesthesia within hours of first use of synthetic cannabis. She was healthy and without identified stroke risk factors other than oral contraceptive use and a patent foramen ovale without venous thromboses. A 26-year-old woman presented with nonfluent aphasia, left facial droop, and left hemianesthesia approximately 12 hours after first use of synthetic cannabis. Her other stroke risk factors included migraine ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Infarct Volume in Cryptogenic Stroke
Background: The causal relationship between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and stroke is controversial. We hypothesized that if PFO is a pathway of embolic source, there might be a correlation between PFO characteristics (ie, size or extent of shunt) and ischemic lesion burden (ie, infarct volume and number).Methods: From ischemic stroke patients admitted to Asan Medical Center between January 2000 and October 2007, we identified those who had (1) acute ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging within 5 days of symptom onset and (2) cryptogenic stroke and only PFO detected by transesophageal echocardiography. PFO characte...

Stroke Mimics under the Drip-and-Ship Paradigm
Conclusion: The drip-and-ship paradigm and any psychiatric history predict the diagnosis of SM. None of the SM had thrombolysis-related complications, and all were discharged to home. These findings may explain the superior outcomes associated with the drip-and-ship paradigm in the treatment for AIS.

Risk of Carotid Stroke after Chiropractic Care: A Population-Based Case-Crossover Study
Chiropractic manipulation is a popular treatment for neck pain and headache, but may increase the risk of cervical artery dissection and stroke. Patients with carotid artery dissection can present with neck pain and/or headache before experiencing a stroke. These are common symptoms seen by both chiropractors and primary care physicians (PCPs). We aimed to assess the risk of carotid artery stroke after chiropractic care by comparing association between chiropractic and PCP visits and subsequent stroke.

Migraine-Associated Common Genetic Variants Confer Greater Risk of Posterior vs. Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke ☆
To examine potential genetic relationships between migraine and the two distinct phenotypes posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCiS) and anterior circulation ischemic stroke (ACiS), we generated migraine polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and compared these between PCiS and ACiS, and separately vs. non-stroke control subjects.

Migraine History: A Predictor of Negative Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in IV-tPA-Treated Stroke Mimics
Background: Migraine, seizures, and psychiatric disorders are frequently reported as “stroke mimics” in patients with negative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) after IV-tPA. We sought to determine predictors of negative DWI in suspected stroke patients treated with IV-tPA. Method: A retrospective case-control study encompassing all acute stroke patients treated with IV-tPA (at o ur hospital or “dripped and shipped”) from January 2013 to December 2014 was con- ducted. A total of 275 patients were identified with 47 negative DWI cases and 228 positive DWI controls.

Stroke in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Induced by Thyrotoxicosis: A Case Report
We describe the case of a 51-year-old Caucasian woman presenting a 24-hour story of sudden onset of dysarthria and left superior limb palsy. Four months before, she developed severe hyperthyroidism associated with petechiae, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and schistocytes at blood film examination. Relapse of TTP in association with Grave disease was diagnosed. There are few reports describing association between Grave disease and TTP with only mild neurologic involvement. We described, to our knowledge, the first case of acute ischemic stroke secondary to thrombotic thrombocytopenic induced by thyrotoxicosis.

Spontaneous Isolated Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Dissection: Rare but Underdiagnosed Cause of Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Clinical manifestations in ischemic type of spontaneous isolated PICAD were similar to those of intracranial vertebral artery dissection. Clinical course was relatively stable and benign. SWI was more helpful to suspect abnormality of posterior inferior cerebellar artery than conventional MRI or magnetic resonance angiography in our small series. Cerebral angiography is recommended in patients with clinically suspected spontaneous isolated PICAD for definite diagnosis.
