In Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Cancer: The Shorter Interval, the Higher D-Dimer
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, in patients with ischemic stroke and cancer, patients with short interval time between the diagnosis of ischemic stroke and cancer had higher D-dimer than patients with long interval time.PMID:35901344 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2022.23.7.2375

Young nasopharyngeal cancer patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are most prone to ischaemic risk of stroke: a national database, controlled cohort study
ConclusionsPatients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are at an elevated risk of ischaemic stroke, without significant difference among treatment modalities. The relative risk is more prominent in younger patients. Comorbidity may enhance the risk.

Fatal Embolic Stroke Due to Non-Atherothrombotic Mobile Thrombi in the Carotid Artery during Gastric Cancer Chemotherapy: An Autopsy Case Report (P01.255)
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple etiologies for ischemic stroke may exist in cancer patients. A mobile thrombus in the carotid artery should be considered as a possible mechanism for arteriogenic stroke in the clinical settings of malignancy with hypercoagulability. Doppler ultrasonography is the most practical tool to identify these conditions.Disclosure: Dr. Yamada has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yoneda has nothing to disclose.

Doses to Carotid Arteries After Modern Radiation Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma: Is Stroke Still a Late Effect of Treatment?
Conclusions: INRT reduces the dose delivered to the carotid arteries and corresponding estimated risk of stroke for HL survivors. Even for the subset of patients with lymphoma close to the carotid arteries, the estimated risk is low.

Cervical adenocarcinoma generator of procoagulant status and ischemic stroke.
We present the case of a 44-years-old patient undergoing early menopause, who was diagnosed with cervical tumor of the serous adenocarcinoma type. The patient underwent external radiotherapy, and, in the seventh day of treatment, she suffered a frontal-temporal-parietal ischemic stroke with left hemiplegia. The blood testing highlighted procoagulant products (double fibrinogen compared to normal values, deficit of antithrombin and a high number of thrombocytes). The patient received neurological and rehabilitation treatment, at first with Heparin, followed by the administration of an antiaggregant. During this treatment, t...

The Incident Ocular Diseases Related to Chemotherapy in Cancer Patients are Associated with Increasing Risk of Incident Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Incident ocular diseases related to chemotherapy were associated with a significantly higher risk of stroke.PMID:37229341 | PMC:PMC10203719 | DOI:10.6515/ACS.202305_39(3).20221005A

Acute stroke secondary to carotid artery dissection in a patient with germ cell tumour: did Cisplatin play a role?.
Conclusion: Carotid artery dissection has not been reported as the cause of cisplatin-associated stroke in patients with GCT. This case demonstrates the potential for cisplatin-induced mechanisms causing carotid dissection, particularly considering the close temporal association of BEP and the event in our patient. In young patients with excellent curative potential from GCT, every effort should be made to minimise the risk of disabling side effects of BEP. After a stroke, imaging of intracranial and extracranial arteries, monitoring and correction of serum magnesium is recommended. The decision to continue or discontinue ...

Acute Stroke Caused by Progressive Intracranial Artery Stenosis due to Varicella Zoster Virus Vasculopathy After Chemotherapy for Malignant Lymphoma.
Authors: Saito M, Kawano H, Amano T, Hirano T Abstract Decreased cell-mediated immunity can reactivate Varicella zoster virus (VZV), which can lead to various neurological complications, including vasculopathy. We herein report the case of a patient with acute stroke with progressive internal carotid artery stenosis due to VZV vasculopathy after chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma. Treatment for VZV vasculopathy improved the stenosis and prevented recurrent stroke. VZV vasculopathy is an important treatable cause of stroke in immunosuppressed patients.

Stroke-like migraine attacks in long term survivors of high grade glioma. (P1.174)
Conclusions:Stroke-like migraine attacks are difficult to treat and the pathophysiology is unknown. With more sophisticated imaging techniques, a better understanding of this phenomenon will aid in the treatment and prophylaxis of the syndrome with a goal of improving quality of life for this small but slowly growing population.Disclosure: Dr. New has nothing to disclose.

Chemotherapy induced stroke mimic: 5-Fluorouracil encephalopathy fulfilling criteria for tissue plasminogen activator therapy
Stroke mimics, especially those involving chemotherapy related neurotoxicity, can confound the clinical diagnosis of acute stroke. Here we describe the case of a 63year-old male with a recent history of stage IIIC colon cancer who presented with confusion on the second day of modified FOLFOX6 (5-fluorouracil/oxaliplatin) chemotherapy and subsequently received alteplase, tissue plasminogen activator therapy (tPA), for presumed ischemic stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging scans after tPA administration did not reveal evidence of an infarction and the patients' neurological symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of...
