Percheron Artery-Plus Syndrome: A Syndrome Beyond Stroke Chameleon
J Nippon Med Sch. 2021;88(4):375-379. doi: 10.1272/jnms.JNMS.2021_88-414.ABSTRACTThe artery of Percheron (AOP) is an anatomical variant of the thalamoperforating arteries. AOP occlusion can cause bilateral paramedian thalamic infarctions and is referred to as a "stroke chameleon" because it lacks the classic signs of stroke. Coexistence of AOP occlusion and other neurologic disease is rare and can cause disturbance of consciousness. A 78-year-old woman had acute onset of left limb weakness and drowsy consciousness. Brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed acute bilateral paramedian thalamic infarctions. However,...

Stroke in paediatric pneumococcal meningitis: a cross-sectional population-based study
Before routine infant pneumococcal immunisation and improved access to neuroimaging, around 25% of children with pneumococcal meningitis (PM) suffered ischaemic stroke (IS).1 2 In a population-based retrospective audit (UHS ZAUD2053), we investigated the postimmunisation prevalence of stroke/cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and compared features of children with and without IS/CVD. We included all cases of PM in children <18 years old with a Wessex postcode admitted to our tertiary centre, University Hospital Southampton (UHS) and the eight hospitals in our referral catchment area of Hampshire and Dorset (2001 childh...

Hemorrhagic stroke and cerebral venous thrombosis: rare neurological sequelae of chickenpox infection
Anuradha Mehta, Aanchal Arora, Manoj Sharma, Rupali Malik, Yogesh Chandra PorwalAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2018 21(3):228-232 Chickenpox (varicella) is primarily a disease of childhood which occurs due to infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Primary VZV infection is rare in adults due to exposure in early childhood in our country. In adults, it is associated with some serious systemic and neurological complications which can follow both primary infection and reactivation of VZV. Neurological sequelae caused by primary VZV infection are rare and include encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, myelitis, acute c...

Arterial Ischemic Stroke —Peculiarities of Clinical Presentation and Risk Factors in Indian Children
Neuropediatrics DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1728773There are not enough recent studies on arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in Indian children. We retrospectively reviewed data on 95 children (69 boys), aged 3 months to 17 years, with AIS. Focal signs were noted in 84 (88%) with hemiparesis in 72 (76%). Diffuse signs were present in 33 (35%) with fever in 22 (23%), altered mental status in 20 (21%), and headache in 12 (13%). Seizures occurred in 29 (31%) children. Arteriopathy was observed in 57 (60%) children with mineralizing lenticulostriate vasculopathy (mLSV) in 22 (23%) being the most common, followed by moyamoya in 14 (15%), a...
