Cerebellopontine angle meningioma in a patient presented as acute cerebrovascular accident
CONCLUSION: Although stroke is the main cause of sudden onset ataxia in a patient with cerebrovascular risk factors, yet other less common causes may be found as in this case of CPA meningioma.PMID:37427233 | PMC:PMC10328571 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000000928

Neurophysiology tools to lower the stroke onset to treatment time during the golden hour: microwaves, bioelectrical impedance and near infrared spectroscopy
Ann Med. 2022 Dec;54(1):2658-2671. doi: 10.1080/07853890.2022.2124448.ABSTRACTReperfusion therapy administration timing in acute ischaemic stroke is the main determinant of patients' mortality and long-term disability. Indeed, the first hour from the stroke onset is defined the "golden hour", in which the treatment has the highest efficacy and lowest side effects. Delayed ambulance transport, inappropriate triage and difficulty in accessing CT scans lead to delayed onset to treatment time (OTT) in clinical practice. To date brain CT scan is needed to rule out intracranial haemorrhage, which is a major contraindication to t...

An acute lower limb ischemia revealing a covid-19 infection: A case report
CONCLUSION: The coagulopathy responsible for venous and arterial thrombosis is a well-established complication of COVID-19. Arterial thromboembolic complications can be either stroke, acute coronary syndrome or peripheral acute ischemia. Therefore, patients with covid19 should be monitored more closely for thromboembolic complications.PMID:35999833 | PMC:PMC9389520 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.104445

Tonic non-colonic convulsions-status epilepticus- as the presenting complaint of COVID-19
CONCLUSION: This case represents a rare case in the literature review which can increase the awareness of tonic non-clonic seizures and other neurological manifestations as the presenting symptom of the COVID19.PMID:35573473 | PMC:PMC9088155 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103744

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma revealed by a cerebral vascular stroke: A case report
We report the case of a 75-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room following a classic hemorrhagic stroke. The CT scan showed a hyperdense tumor-like process with perilesional edema, the diagnosis reinforced by (MRI). The patient underwent macroscopically total surgical excision and the anatomo pathological examination concluded a diffuse non-Hodgkin's B large cell lymphoma. The follow up was marked by a clear clinical improvement. Primary cerebral lymphomas can be polymorphic, so this diagnosis should always be kept in mind during stroke manifestations. This case illustrates the diagnostic difficulty of this rare ...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as a complication of COVID-19 infection - A case report
CONCLUSION: High index of suspicion of CVST is necessary when a patient presents with unexplained neurological manifestation following a recent COVID-19 infection to prevent from life-threatening complications. Furthermore, clinicians should not underestimate the multisystem involvement of COVID-19.PMID:35127077 | PMC:PMC8800506 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103326

Ischemic stroke revealing COVID-19 infection: Case report
CONCLUSION: SARS-COV 2 infection can spread from the respiratory system to the central nervous system, resulting in an inflammatory response and excessive secretion of inflammatory markers, leading to ischemic stroke.PMID:34631044 | PMC:PMC8492013 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102912

Internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries dissections associated with amphetamine abuse: Case report
We reported the Case of a 40-year-old male patient with chronic amphetamine used since childhood. He had increased the consumption from once a month to every other day in the last year. The patient suffered from acute left-side hemiparesis and neglect. Computed tomography angiography of the brain and neck vessels demonstrated non-atheromatous vasculopathy with a suspected dissection process of the right internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries. A review of recent data is also provided to clarify the possible mechanism.PMID:34401140 | PMC:PMC8353386 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102676
