Clinical features, pathogenesis, and management of stroke-like episodes due to MELAS
AbstractMitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a disease that should be considered as a differential diagnosis to acute ischemic stroke taking into account its onset pattern and neurological symptoms, which are similar to those of an ischemic stroke. Technological advancements in neuroimaging modalities have greatly facilitated differential diagnosis between stroke and MELAS on diagnostic imaging. Stroke-like episodes in  MELAS have the following features: (1) symptoms are neurolocalized according to lesion site; (2) epileptic seizures are often present; (3) lesion distri...

Children with perinatal stroke are at increased risk for autism spectrum disorder: Prevalence and co-occurring conditions within a clinically followed sample
DISCUSSION: Children with perinatal stroke have an increased prevalence of ASD (11.4%) than in the general population. ASD concerns arise at a similar age as the general population, yet ASD is diagnosed almost two years later than the general population and 3.60 years after first concerns present. Co-occurring neurological conditions are common. Clinicians must be aware of increased prevalence and implement screening as part of routine care for all pediatric patients with perinatal stroke.PMID:34308766 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2021.1955150

Diagnostic value of whole-brain computed tomographic perfusion imaging for suspected large artery occlusion stroke patients in emergency department
ConclusionThis retrospective study indicates WB-CTP can be useful in identifying acute ischemic stroke in emergency department, especially for patients with acute LAO stroke. Moreover, WB-CTP may have a value in differentiating stroke mimics such as epilepsy and CVST.

Perinatalis stroke: vizsg álati irányelv
Orv Hetil. 2022 Jun 12;163(24):952-960. doi: 10.1556/650.2022.32472. Print 2022 Jun 12.ABSTRACTPerinatal stroke encompasses a heterogenous group of neurological syndromes due to cerebrovascular diseases, leading to chronic neurological sequelae in most of the cases. Based on pathophysiology, strokes are classified as perinatal arterial ischemic stroke, cerebral sinovenous thrombosis and perinatal haemorrhagic stroke. If not recognized in the neonatal period, the condition usually presents with focal asymmetry between 4-8 months of age and is referred to as presumed perinatal stroke. Nowadays, the increased utilization of m...

Frequency and predictors of poststroke epilepsy after mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke: results from a multicenter cohort study
ConclusionIn our study, patients with large vessel occlusion stroke receiving MT had a 9% prevalence of PSE over a median follow-up period of 6.5  years. Besides larger infarct size, presence of cerebral microbleeds on brain MRI predicted PSE occurrence.

Seven questions about stroke and epilepsy.
Abstract Seizures and stroke are both common neurologic conditions, but when they occur in close temporal proximity they produce much more concern than either does alone. The stroke specialist (and the family) fear that convulsions will worsen the stroke because of acute hypertension and airway compromise, and the epileptologist is concerned that these acute seizures are the harbingers of later epilepsy. Other less commonly recognized but important aspects of this relationship are that subclinical seizures worsen some forms of stroke, and some anticonvulsants may have more adverse effects on stroke patients than t...

A novel reproducible model of neonatal stroke in mice: Comparison with a hypoxia-ischemia model.
Abstract Neonatal stroke occurs in 1/4000 live births and leaves life-long neurological impairments, such as cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Currently, the rodent models of neonatal stroke that are available exhibit significant inter-animal variability, which makes it difficult to accurately assess the mechanisms of brain injury and the efficacy of candidate treatments. We aimed to introduce a novel, highly reproducible model of stroke, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), in immature mice, and to evaluate the reproducibility of this model compared with a conventional hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model. Postnatal day 12...

P 172. Focal tDCS in Chronic Stroke patients: A pilot study of physiological effects using TMS and concurrent EEG
We report results of MEPs, EEG, and motor behavior. We show, for the first time, that tDCS and EEG recording can be concurrently applied in stroke patients. Bilateral M1 stimulation using small Ag/AgCl electrodes is well tolerated and can augment corticospinal excitability in the affected hemisphere. In the literature, there is only one prior studying using concurrent EEG recording during cathodal tDCS in healthy subjects and two patients with epileptic encephalopathy (Faria et al., 2012). As far as we know, no studies have applied tDCS simultaneous with EEG recording in chronic stroke patients. We report the first study i...
