Wake-up stroke in a young woman with rotational vertebral artery occlusion due to far-lateral cervical disc herniation.
Abstract Wake-up stroke is most likely to be caused by small-vessel disease, and is related to snoring. The authors present a rare case of far-lateral cervical disc herniation with neck rotation, resulting in wake-up stroke in a young woman. The patient, a 31-year-old woman, was admitted to the hospital because of dysarthria and confusion when she awoke in the morning. Brain MRI showed acute infarction in the posterior fossa. Cerebral angiography showed thrombus in the distal top of the basilar artery and the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries. During angiography, the thrombus size decreased with heparinization...

Infarct location and sleep apnea: evaluating the potential association in acute ischemic stroke
• The relationship between infarction location and sleep apnea was examined.• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is present in the majority of stroke patients.• Infarct location cannot reliably be used to identify a higher risk of OSA.• There are no clearly identifiable OSA predictive factors in acute stroke patients.• Polysomnography should be considered in all acute stroke patients.

Sleep-disordered breathing among acute ischemic stroke patients in Brazil
• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very frequent in Brazilian patients with acute stroke.• Severe OSA was associated with a poor long-term functional outcome following stroke.• OSA is a treatable condition and therefore its treatment seems to be a potential target to improve outcome of acute stroke patients.

Occurrence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep breathing disorder with episodes of upper airway obstructions. Patients with cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke show a high prevalence of OSAS. Several studies focus on stroke and not on transient ischemic attack (TIA), suggesting it could be a symptom after stroke. We analyzed the occurrence of OSAS in high-risk patients with TIA.

Comment on “Dysphagia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Acute, First-Ever, Ischemic Stroke”
We recently read the article by Losurdo et  al published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.1 The authors suggest that both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dysphagia are highly prevalent in first-ever, ischemic stroke, and these pathologies are associated in acute ischemic stroke. This is an interesting study, and the o utcomes of the study are important for not only neurological sciences but also sleep medicine. We would like to emphasize 2 important issues regarding this article that should be taken into consideration.

Benefits of early diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep Apnea-Hypopnea syndrome in patients with acute ischemic stroke: SASS (Sleep Apnea in Stroke patients Study)
Conclusions: Acute polygraphy is feasible in patients with AIS. Early treatment of OSAHS could improve stroke outcome, although larger multicentric studies are necessary to confirm these results

Self-reported snoring patterns predict stroke events in high-risk patients with obstructive sleep apnea: post-hoc analyses of the SAVE study.
Abstract BACKGROUND: The relation of snoring to risks of stroke and other major cardiovascular (CV) events is uncertain. RESEARCH QUESTION: We aimed to determine associations of snoring patterns and major CV events in relation to the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), among participants of the international Sleep Apnea cardiovascular Endpoints (SAVE) trial. STUDY DESIGN: and Methods: Post-hoc analyses of the SAVE trial, which involved 2687 patients with co-existing moderate-severe OSA and established coronary or cerebral CV disease, who were randomly allocated to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) tr...

Hypoxic burden and heart rate variability predict stroke incidence in sleep apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly recognised as a risk factor for stroke [1]. However, the incidence of stroke in patients investigated for OSA has been assessed in a limited number of studies reporting conflicting results on the association between the apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) and stroke incidence [1–3].

Investigating the Association between Wake-Up Stroke and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: WUS patients have severer SDB problems compared to NWUS patients suggesting that respiratory events during sleep might be underlying the induction of WUS. Besides, the induction of WUS was significantly associated with men rather than women. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of potential WUS patients should benefit from the detection of SDB status and respiratory effects.Eur Neurol

Benefits in quality of life following an obstructive sleep apnea screening and treatment program in patients with acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Although more evidence is needed, a significant improvement in QOL was suggested after our OSA intervention, particularly in patients with good CPAP adherence.PMID:36782347 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7604.2022359
