Rare causes of stroke-a frequent stroke etiology.
Abstract As a whole, rare stroke causes represent a frequent stroke etiology. Since rare stroke causes affect primarily young patients, early diagnosis and treatment are of high socioeconomic relevance. In our everyday clinical practice, cervical artery dissection, which is the most common stroke etiology among patients < 45 years, and vasculitis are particularly important. In the case of vasculitis, devastating disease courses and potentially harmful treatment options complicate clinical decision-making. Non-vasculitic vasculopathies, infections, hematological disorders, coagulation disorders, metabolic disord...

Stroke Dysbiosis Index (SDI) in Gut Microbiome Are Associated With Brain Injury and Prognosis of Stroke
Conclusions: We developed an index to measure gut microbiota dysbiosis in stroke patients; this index was significantly correlated with patients' outcome and was causally related to outcome in a mouse model of stroke. Our model facilitates the potential clinical application of gut microbiota data in stroke and adds quantitative evidence linking the gut microbiota to stroke. Introduction Ischemic stroke imposes a heavy burden on society, with 24.9 million cases worldwide (1). Although intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment greatly improve some patients' prognosis, the prognosis for most pa...

Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Lesion Patterns in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale and Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Artery Dissection
Conclusion: The present study suggests that lesion patterns observed from DWI of patients with PFO and SIAD might provide clues to the etiology of infarcts. Single lesions (cortical or subcortical) might be a typical feature of PFO associated strokes, while multiple lesions in one vascular territory might be a specific feature of SIAD associated strokes. Introduction Both patent foramen ovale (PFO) and spontaneous intracranial artery dissection (SIAD) are important stroke risk factors, especially in young and middle-aged adults (1–3). About 25% of patients with ischemic stroke are cryptogenic (4), and PFO is ...

Angiographical Identification of Intracranial, Atherosclerosis-Related, Large Vessel Occlusion in Endovascular Treatment
Conclusions Among only a few identification methods, the ICAS-LVO can be feasibly identified by angiographical findings. The identification of ICAS-LVO based on based on occlusion type, is a reliable and practical identification method for ICAS-LVO. Procedural details by occlusion type and its predictability to endovascular results were reported. Furthermore, occlusion type can be determined before or in the early stages of the procedure, which may be most helpful in setting up an optimal endovascular treatment strategy. Author Contributions J-HB established the study idea, designed the manuscript structure, acquired an...

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...

Antiplatelet Therapy vs Anticoagulation in Cervical Artery Dissection
This randomized clinical trial examines whether antiplatelent or anticoagulant therapy is more effective in preventing stroke in cervical dissection and the risk of recurrent stroke in a randomized clinical trial setting.

Imaging of Carotid Dissection
AbstractPurpose of ReviewHere, we describe the four primary imaging modalities for identification of carotid artery dissection, advantages, limitations, and clinical considerations. In addition, imaging characteristics of carotid dissection associated with each modality will be described.Recent FindingsRecent advances in etiopathogenesis describe the genetic factors implicated in cervical artery dissection. MRI/MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) with fat suppression is regarded as the best initial screening test to detect dissection. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of dissection include the use o...

Stroke in young adults: Five new things
Purpose of review The incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing, mainly driven by an increasing incidence of ischemic stroke in this population. We provide new information that has been recently presented regarding the risk factor prevalence, some specific etiologic causes, and management strategies in ischemic stroke in this population. Recent findings Recent studies indicate a rapid increase in traditional risk factors in young adults. New information regarding the management of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke and cervical artery dissection is available. Summary Stroke in young adults is a rapidly gr...

Cervical Artery Dissection in Patients of African Ancestry
Conclusion: AA patients represent a smaller proportion of CeAD cases compared to young stroke cases at our center. AA patients suffering CeAD have higher prevalence of both vascular risk factors and frequency of the CeAD risk allele compared to EA patients. These findings suggest a complex interplay between traditional vascular risk factors and genetic predisposition underlying CeAD pathogenesis. Further prospective research is needed to clarify these associations and disparities.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:218 –222

Reperfusion therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke caused by cervical artery dissection
ConclusionsIn our sample, the most common form of presentation of CAD was ischaemic stroke. Reperfusion therapy seems to be a safe and effective option for these patients, and outcomes resemble those of other patients with ischaemic stroke. Larger comparative studies are necessary to better assess response to reperfusion therapy in acute ischaemic stroke.ResumenIntroducciónLas disecciones de arteriales cervicales (DAC) provocan hasta el 20% de los ictus isquémicos en menores de 45 años. El beneficio de los tratamientos de reperfusión en fase aguda no está plenamente clarificado.MétodosRevisión retrospectiva de pacie...

Bilateral Hypoglossal Nerve Palsy in an Adult Patient With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Conclusions: This is the first case of multiple-vessel sCAD, and more associated with an unusual clinical presentation, in a patient with surgically repaired ToF, supporting the hypothesis that defective large artery elastogenesis plays a role in this congenital disorder, and suggesting the importance of continuous long-term vascular follow-up.

Migraine and cerebrovascular diseases: Epidemiology, pathophysiological, and clinical considerations.
In conclusion, migraine is a potential risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases. Migraineurs should be carefully evaluated considering their vascular risk assessment based on current evidence, so that healthcare professionals can provide appropriate and individualized management of other cardiovascular risk factors, notably quitting smoking and restricting use of oral contraceptives.

Natural History of Cervical Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia and Associated Neurovascular Events
Conclusions: No new cervical artery FMD or aneurysm was observed on subsequent imaging. New carotid dissection was uncommon over a mean follow-up period of 35.3 ± 25.3 months and was the only non-atherosclerotic vascular event observed after FMD diagnosis.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:33 –39
