Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 —Reply
In Reply We thank Dr Silverman and colleagues for their interest in our study and providing us the opportunity to expand on our results.

Among these 8 patients, 4 strokes were attributed to anticoagulant use.

Migraine and the Risk of Carotid Artery Dissection
Stroke incidence is increasing among patients aged 40 to 60 years —faster than in older age cohorts. Preliminary evidence suggests that ischemic stroke—not hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage—accounts for the increase. Many speculate that increasing incidences of classic vascular risk factors among young patients contribute to the increased incidence of st roke. Certainly, we are all aware of the obesity epidemic and continued prevalence of smoking, leading to premature atherosclerosis. Furthermore, equally relevant causes of stroke in the young include migraine, drug abuse, cervical arterial dissections, patent fo...
