Recurrent stroke in a patient with vitamin B12 deficiency and MTHFR mutation
We report an unusual case of recurrent stroke in a patient with vitamin B12 deficiency who was also homozygous for the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation. The patient was a 35-year-old male vegetarian with no known medical history who initially presented with global aphasia, slurred speech, right facial weakness, and right-sided hemiplegia and was found to have a stroke (NIH Stroke Scale score of 25). At that time a CT scan of the head ruled out intracranial hemorrhage and a CT angiogram of the head and neck was done. The patient was found to have occlusion of the M1 segment of the left middle cereb...

Safety of Endovascular Thrombectomy in Patients Receiving Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Brief Reports
Conclusions— Thrombectomy in non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant patients seems safe although a comparatively high rate of asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation was noted. Confirmation in larger prospective controlled cohorts is necessary. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01850797.

Association between Fok1 and TaqI polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor gene with the severity of stenosis and calcification in carotid bulb in patients with ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: There may be a biological association between the FokI VDR gene and carotid bulb calcification.PMID:35091316 | DOI:10.1016/j.jocn.2022.01.009

Oral direct thrombin inhibitor as an alternative in the management of cerebral venous thrombosis: a series of 15 patients
ConclusionsWe report the largest series of cerebral vein thrombosis patients treated with dabigatran. Clinical outcome was excellent in most patients and not different from other studies. Dabigatran could possibly be considered an alternative to warfarin; nevertheless, further prospective assessment with randomized controlled studies is warranted.

Intracerebral Hematoma Morphologic Appearance on Noncontrast Computed Tomography Predicts Significant Hematoma Expansion Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Fluid levels, density heterogeneity, and margin irregularity on noncontrast CT are associated with hematoma expansion at 24 hours. These markers may assist in prediction of outcomes in scenarios where CT angiography is not readily available and may be of future help in refining the predictive value of the CT angiography spot sign.

MELAS and macroangiopathy: A case report and literature review
We reported a case of MELAS that presented right distal internal carotid arterial (ICA) stenosis and reviewed 12 similar previously reported cases involving intracranial large blood vessels. Patient concerns: A 38-year-old man suffered from recurrent stroke-like episodes (SE) such as alternating hemiparesis (right lesion 3 years ago and current left lesion), cortical blindness and seizure for 3 years, and was previously misdiagnosed as cerebral infarction. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) revealed right distal ICA stenosis and sparse cortex blood vessels, which were related ...

Rivaroxaban in cervical and “cervico-cerebral” artery dissections: a new therapeutic option?
We describe four cases of CADs and, firstly in literature, cervico-cerebral (CCADs) in young patients (average age of 42  years) treated with rivaroxaban 20 mg daily. Three of these four dissections had affected the vertebral artery (condition with an unfavorable prognosis and more often complicated by subarachnoid hemorrhages), and the other one was a carotid dissection at the extra-intracranial passage. All patien ts were followed clinically and with serial neurosonological examinations at 1, 3, and 6 months and with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 6 months. All patients presented a good outcome with vascular...

E-061 Moyamoya syndrome patients have low vitamin D
ConclusionOur data indicate a large proportion of moyamoya syndrome patients are deficient in vitamin D, which we hypothesize contributes to pathological severity. Future studies incorporating vitamin D supplementation may act as a novel intervention for this patient population that currently has few treatment options.Disclosures J. Fraser: None. L. Whitnel: None. J. Roberts: None.

Warfarin-induced isolated spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage: Rare case report
CONCLUSION: Warfarin is rarely associated with isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage. This case highlights a young male patient with spontaneous SAH after warfarin therapy for acute ischemic stroke. Aneurysmal rupture and trauma should be excluded before a diagnosis of warfarin-induced SAH is made.PMID:36582886 | PMC:PMC9793204 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.104946
