Elevated peripheral leukocyte counts in acute cervical artery dissection
ConclusionsAcute CeAD was associated with particularly high WBC counts. Leukocytosis may reflect a pre‐existing inflammatory state, supporting the link between inflammation and CeAD.

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.

High Frequency of Incidental Angiographic Abnormalities in RCVS: Implications For Pathophysiology? (P03.164)
CONCLUSIONS: RCVS is associated with a high frequency of angiographic abnormalities such as cerebral artery dissection. Further studies are warranted to determine whether these reflect a subtle underlying structural abnormality that lowers the threshold for RCVS.Disclosure: Dr. Kursun has nothing to disclose. Dr. Singhal has received personal compensation as an expert witness in medicolegal cases involving stroke in young adults. Dr. Singhal's wife is an employee of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Dr. Singhal has received research support from Pfizer and Photothera, Inc.

Vertebral Artery Dissection in Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cervical Spine Disease
A 59-year-old woman with long-standing active rheumatoid arthritis presented with posterior circulation ischemic stroke after vertebral dissection. She had severe multilevel degenerative changes of her cervical spine. She did not have classic stroke risk factors nor evidence of atherosclerotic disease or other systemic diseases. The most likely mechanism appears to be injury of the artery wall by an osteophyte, causing dissection that resulted in thrombosis and subsequent embolic strokes.

Experience of pediatric stroke from a tertiary medical center in North India
Conclusion: AIS is more common than ICH in this study and 8.9% patients died. Infection is the most common cause of pediatric stroke in Northern India which is amenable to therapy and is preventable.

Balance of Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism and Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Low-dose Anticoagulation in Recent Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions: Prophylactic/low-dose heparin increased sICH by more than they reduced sPE in patients with recent ischemic stroke. Therefore, their routine acute use cannot be recommended, but they may still be relevant in patients at very high risk of PE (eg, morbid obesity, previous venous thromboembolism, and inherited thrombophilia) or if started later, although trials have not assessed these issues.
