Diffuse low-grade glioma misdiagnosed as acute cerebral infarction: A case report
We report a case of DLGG detected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patient concerns: A 58-year-old man suddenly phantom smells for half an hour and was previously healthy. Diagnoses: Computed tomography findings showed a leaf-shaped slightly hypodense shadow in the right temporal lobe with no obvious mass effect and an unclear boundary. MRI findings showed diffuse and slightly longer T1-weighted imaging (T1WI)/T2-weighted imaging (T2WI)signal in the right temporal lobe and hippocampus, slight hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, diffuse swelling in the right temporal lobe ...

The resolution of carotid arterial thrombus by oral anticoagulation after IV thrombolysis for chemotherapy-induced stroke: A case report
Rationale: Cancer-related stroke has been regarded as an emerging subtype of ischemic event. Acute treatment for this subtype may include the antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, or endovascular intervention. Patient concerns: A 63-year-old woman with sudden-onset right hemiparesis and conscious change was sent to our emergency department. The patient had underlying sigmoid adenocarcinoma and received chemotherapy FOLFIRI (FOL, folinic acid; F, fluorouracil; and IRI, irinotecan) with targeted therapy cetuximab following lower anterior resection since the diagnosis was made. Diagnoses: Brain magnetic resonance angio...

1497p * lessons from the past: long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of a prematurely terminated, randomized phase iii trial of precautionary versus hemoglobin-based erythropoietin administration for chemotherapy-associated anemia in patients with solid tumors
Conclusions: Prophylactic administration of ESA for CIA in patients with solid tumors was associated with increased incidence of a composite of thrombosis-related adverse events, especially in patients receiving adjuvant treatment, but did not have a detrimental impact on relapse/progression and survival rates.Disclosure: All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
