Etiology of first‐ever ischaemic stroke in European young adults: the 15 cities young stroke study
ConclusionsThe etiology of IS in young adults has clear gender‐specific patterns that change with age. A notable portion of these patients remains without an evident stroke mechanism according to TOAST criteria.

Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Descriptive Case Series (P1.079)
CONCLUSIONS: In our series of 19 pregnancy-associated ischemic strokes, mechanisms appeared unrelated to traditional vascular risk factors, and there was a substantial proportion of poor outcomes. Strokes were commonest in the 12 weeks postpartum, almost one third of which occurred following a miscarriage. Further exploration with a larger cohort is planned.Disclosure: Dr. Miller has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yaghi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boehme has nothing to disclose.

When a Single Antiplatelet Agent for Stroke Prevention Is Not Enough: Current Evidence and Future Applications of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
Opinion statement For secondary stroke prevention, long-term dual antiplatelet therapy is not recommended due to increased bleeding risks. There is no specific evidence for using dual antiplatelet therapy for cervical artery dissection or for adding a second antiplatelet agent after a stroke while taking aspirin monotherapy. For patients with atrial fibrillation and stroke/TIA unable to tolerate warfarin, aspirin monotherapy is reasonable. Dual antiplatelet therapy carries a similar risk of major b...

Unusual Intersection: Elucidating the Role of Erdheim Chester Disease in Stroke (P4.366)
Conclusion:A unifying diagnosis of ECD was identified for this gentleman presenting with a stroke in the setting of critical ICA stenosis. Pathology from his CEA suggests that while ECD involves multisystem inflammation, it did not appear to play a direct role in his stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Sheikhi has nothing to disclose.

Does case misclassification threaten the validity of studies investigating the relationship between neck manipulation and vertebral artery dissection stroke? No
ConclusionCurrent evidence does not support the notion that misclassification threatens the validity of recent case –control studies investigating the relationship between CMT and VAD. Hence, the recent re-analysis cannot refute the conclusion from previous studies that CMT is not a cause of VAD.

Migraine and Stroke: What ’s the Link? What to Do?
AbstractMigraine and stroke are common, disabling neurologic disorders, with a high socioeconomic burden. A link between them has been proposed years ago, and various theories have been proposed to explain this bidirectional relation. However, the precise causes remain unclear. We briefly summarize existing hypotheses of this correlation seeking for recommendations for stroke prevention in migraineurs, if any exist. Among the strongest suggested theories of migraine –stroke association are cortical spreading depression, endovascular dysfunction, vasoconstriction, neurogenic inflammation, hypercoagulability, increased pre...

Anterior Circulation Acute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Atherosclerotic Lesions of the Cervical ICA: A Nosologic Entity Apart ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that atherothrombotic tandem occlusions represent a peculiar and different nosologic entity compared with dissection-related tandem occlusions. This challenging cause of acute ischemic stroke should be differentiated from other etiologies in patient management in future prospective studies.

Stroke prevention.
Abstract Prevention is essential to stroke management because of the high risk of recurrence. Stroke incidence is increased by known risk factors, which can be prevented. Cardiovascular prevention after stroke or TIA also includes aetiology-specific treatment, when it is known. Endovascular treatment is not indicated as a first-line treatment for atheromatous cervical or intracranial stenosis. Endovascular or surgical treatment is not indicated as first-line treatment for cervical arterial dissection because of its minor risk of stroke recurrence.

Cost and Utility of Routine Contrast-Enhanced Neck MRA in a Pediatric MRI Stroke Evaluation Protocol PEDIATRICS
CONCLUSIONS: In our large series, the addition of a routine contrast-enhanced neck MRA to our pediatric stroke MR imaging protocol was of extremely low yield. We believe the use of neck MRA should reasonably be limited to cases in which abnormalities are initially detected on standard brain sequences or to patients with atypical presentation or recurrent pathology.

Serum-Based Proteomics Reveals Lipid Metabolic and Immunoregulatory Dysregulation in Cervical Artery Dissection With Stroke
In conclusion, proteomic analysis reveals that early perturbation of immunoregulation and lipid metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of CAD. Specifically, the panel of six proteins identified is promising as serum-based biomarkers for the detection of increased CAD risk in stroke subjects.

Cervical artery dissection: Trauma and other potential mechanical trigger events
Conclusion: PCT seems to be an important environmental determinant of CeAD, but was not an independent outcome predictor. Because of the characteristics of most PCTs, the term mechanical trigger event rather than trauma may be more appropriate.

Cervical Artery Dissection in Young Adults in the Stroke in Young Fabry Patients (sifap1) Study
Background: Patients with carotid artery dissection (CAD) have been reported to have different vascular risk factor profiles and clinical outcomes to those with vertebral artery dissection (VAD). However, there are limited data from recent, large international studies comparing risk factors and clinical features in patients with cervical artery dissection (CeAD) with other TIA or ischemic stroke (IS) patients of similar age and sex. Methods: We analysed demographic, clinical and risk factor profiles in TIA and IS patients ≤55 years of age with and without CeAD in the large European, multi-centre, Stroke In young FAbry Pa...

Severity and outcomes according to stroke etiology in patients under 50 years of age with ischemic stroke
Abstract To analyze the association of stroke etiological subtypes with severity and outcomes at 3 and 12 months in patients ≤50 years. Observational study of patients admitted to a stroke unit (2007–2013). Variables: demographic data, vascular risk factors, comorbidities, severity on admission (NIHSS), and good functional outcome (mRS ≤ 1) at 3 and 12 months. We used multivariate analyses to evaluate the influence of stroke etiology on severity and outcomes. We included 214 patients, 58.3 % men, mean age 41.4 years. General linear models showed all etiologies were more severe than lacunar strokes (P...

Usefulness of cervical magnetic resonance imaging for detecting type A acute aortic dissection with acute stroke symptoms
Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) sometimes presents with acute stroke-like symptoms. When intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) therapy is considered for acute ischemic stroke, TAAAD must be excluded. Painless TAAAD presenting with acute stroke may be easily missed. Two cases of painless TAAAD presenting with acute stroke in which IV-tPA therapy was considered are reported. In these cases, cervical magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) was useful for detecting TAAAD, and IV-tPA therapy was canceled.
