Emergent Premedication for Contrast Allergy Prior to Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke INTERVENTIONAL
CONCLUSIONS: In a single-institution cohort study of 60 consecutive patients with documented contrast allergies undergoing endovascular therapy with emergent premedication en route to (or in) the neuroangiography suite, no patients experienced allergic symptoms. This pragmatic approach may be safe for patients who have documented contrast media allergies.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure to prevent recurrent stroke in a patient with a nickel allergy.
This article reviews current management of PFO in association with cryptogenic stroke in light of the results of three recent randomized controlled trials and two meta-analyses of observational data. The article will also discuss circumstances which merit consideration for closure despite the negative trial data, and will review our management strategy for closure in this patient with a nickel allergy that precluded the use of the most commonly used PFO closure device.

Cortical susceptibility-weighted imaging hypointensity after stroke-like episode in MELAS
A 49-year-old woman with a known m.3243A>G tRNALeu(UUR) mutation (ie, the most frequent mutation in mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)) diagnosed in the presence of migraine, diabetes mellitus, neurosensory hearing loss, short stature, cognitive deficit, ataxia and elevated lactate levels, presented with subacute aphasia and right hemiplegia. Brain MRI showed a typical stroke-like lesion in the left temporal and parietal lobe and prerolandic cortex. At this time, gradient-echo T2-weighted imaging showed hyperintensities in the involved regions (also visible on T2-weighted and ...

Amelioration of experimental arthritis by stroke-induced immunosuppression is independent of Treg cell function
Conclusions MCAO ameliorates arthritis. The correlate of protection from arthritis is not the reduction of a particular pathogenic leucocyte subset or the preferential expansion or emergence of a protective cell population but the global reduction of leucocytes during arthritis.

Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose OnabotulinumtoxinA for Post-Stroke Upper Limb Spasticity: Results of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (P3.027)
Conclusions:Preliminary results from this trial investigating the safety and efficacy of higher-dose onabotA for elbow and shoulder spasticity indicate a dose-related benefit. At the higher total dose of 500U onabotA, no new safety signals were observed; AEs did not appear to be dose-related.Study Supported by: Allergan plcDisclosure: Dr. Patel has received personal compensation for activities with Allergan, Merz, and Ipsen as a speaker and member of scientific advisory boards.

Keeping up with Amanda: Life after brain surgery
In most ways, Amanda LePage is just like any other rambunctious fourth grader. She loves school, dance class, playing basketball and keeping up with her twin sister Macy and older brother Nathan. Sometimes it just takes her a little longer to do these everyday things. That’s because Amanda has been through a lot in her short nine years. Amanda was just 5 months old when she was brought by helicopter to Boston Children’s Hospital for a hemorrhage in her brain from an intracranial aneurysm, a type of vascular malformation. Despite long odds, Amanda survived two life-saving brain surgeries and a massive stroke that left ...

Circulating endothelial cells as potential diagnostic biomarkers in primary central nervous system vasculitis
Conclusions For the first time it is shown that CEC are significantly elevated in patients with active PCNSV in contrast to other pathologies associated with brain infarction and correlate with disease activity. Sensitivity and specificity of the method for diagnosing PCNSV and the use of the method for treatment monitoring should be addressed in future prospective studies with a larger patient group.

Reversible leukoencephalopathy as a presentation of cerebral amyloid angiopathy
A 73 year old man with a past medical history of hypertension, osteoathritis and asthma presented to the local district general hospital with recurrent episodes of spontaneously resolving encephalopathy. The initial presentation was characterised by acute confusion and visual hallucinations followed by a generalised tonic–clonic seizure. On examination his blood pressure was 215/115 mmHg. Neurological examination did not reveal any lateralising signs but the patient was found to be encephalopathic with a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) score of 9/30. Routine blood tests were unremarkable. A CT brain scan showed ...

Pharyngeal-cervical-brachial variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome
The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome is defined by rapidly progressive oropharyngeal and cervicobrachial weakness associated with areflexia in the upper limbs. Serial nerve conduction studies suggest that PCB represents a localised subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome characterised by axonal rather than demyelinating neuropathy. Many neurologists are unfamiliar with PCB, which is often misdiagnosed as brainstem stroke, myasthenia gravis or botulism. The presence of additional ophthalmoplegia and ataxia indicates overlap with Fisher syndrome. Half of patients with...
