Neutrophils/Lymphocytes Ratio and Platelets/Lymphocytes Ratio and Its Relationship with Severity and Functional Prognosis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (P5.235)
CONCLUSIONS N/L ratio and P/L ratio at hospital admission have a positive correlation with the severity and functional prognosis of patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke. Due to its simple determination, affordable and safe, they could become severity and functional prognostic parameters in the initial evaluation of patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke in the future.Disclosure: Dr. Perez has nothing to disclose.

Effect of the asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease syndrome on the stroke, Parkinson's disease, and dementia: a national cohort study.
Conclusions: The ACOS cohort had a higher risk of the neurodegenerative diseases. The lower dose of the inhaler corticosteroids with cumulative dose ≧0.13 gram have the less risk of stroke and dementia. PMID: 29552322 [PubMed]

An unusual cause of acute ischemic stroke: Adult Onset Still ’s Disease
We present a case where acute ischemic stroke secondary to a floating internal carotid artery thrombus was an early manifestation of AOSD. The patient also had prolonged high spiking fevers, sign ificant leucocytosis, arthralgias and transaminitis. He responded well to a high dose of oral corticosteroids and was eventually started on anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of arterial thrombosis associated with AOSD. We postulate th at thrombocytosis, vasculitis and hypercoagulability from the underlying inflammatory state may have contributed to the ischemic stroke.

Steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) with stroke like symptoms. A case report. (P5.104)
Conclusion: Clinicians should consider SREAT in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with stroke like symptoms/vasculitis especially if investigations fail to establish a diagnosis.Disclosure: Dr. Javalkar has nothing to disclose.

P-006 evaluation of baseline ct aspects and admission neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in perfusion-guided selected ica/mca stroke patients for endovascular reperfusion therapy
ConclusionsIn our cohort, baseline CT ASPECTS inversely correlated with admission NLR in anterior circulation AIS patients who had favorable perfusion imaging profile for IA reperfusion therapy. Additionally, in this subgroup of patients, NLR of 5 or less discriminated favorable from unfavorable ASPECTS.DisclosuresA. Honarmand: None. A. Shaibani: None. F. Syed: None. A. Elmokadem: None. M.

Prophylactic antibiotic treatment in severe acute ischemic stroke: the A ntimicrobial chemop R rophylaxis for I schemic ST rok E I n Mace D on I a –Thrace S tudy (ARISTEIDIS)
AbstractInfections represent a leading cause of mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke, but it is unclear whether prophylactic antibiotic treatment improves the outcome. We aimed to evaluate the effects of this treatment on infection incidence and short-term mortality. This was a pragmatic, prospective multicenter real-world analysis of previously independent consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who were>18  years, and who had at admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)>11. Patients with infection at admission or during the preceding month, with axillary temperature at admiss...

Acute bacterial meningitis and stroke.
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Acute bacterial meningitis remains a common disease, especially in developing countries. Although advances over the last century have improved mortality and morbidity, the neurological adverse effects remain high. Specifically, acute ischaemic stroke is a serious comorbidity that represents both disease severity and poor prognosis. This review presents the clinical connection between meningitis and stroke, and discusses the neuroinflammatory components that have direct ties between these diseases. STATE OF THE ART: Ischaemic stroke is the direct result of the inflammatory response produ...

Stroke and temporal arteritis: A study of 6 cases
ConclusionsStroke caused by giant cell arteritis is a serious and potentially severe condition which requires a high level of suspicion and early treatment with corticosteroids. New diagnostic techniques contribute to refining patient assessment and identifying the optimal treatment. Endovascular treatment may be a valid therapeutic option in selected patients.ResumenIntroducciónAunque la asociación de arteritis de la temporal e ictus isquémico no es frecuente, su diagnóstico y su manejo posterior plantean serias dificultades, requiriendo un alto índice de sospecha.MétodosAnalizamos una serie de 6 pacientes con arter...

Report of cold agglutinins in a patient with acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: We report here the first case of cerebral infarction probably due to the cold agglutinin disease. The underlying mechanism of cold agglutinins in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke needs to be investigated further.

Recognition of giant cell arteritis in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica who have a stroke: a cautionary tale
Abstract An 82‐year‐old woman with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) on prednisone 7 mg daily was admitted to an acute stroke unit with a right homonymous hemianopia, a left posterior cerebral artery occlusion and occipital lobe infarct. She had raised inflammatory markers, did not have a temporal artery biopsy, and was discharged on the same dose of prednisone. After 21 months, off prednisone, her ophthalmologist, concerned about giant cell arteritis (GCA), restarted prednisone 40 mg daily, with rapid, profound visual improvement. After 3 days her general practitioner, noting normal baseline inflammatory markers, stopp...

Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome —a case series and review
ConclusionOur extensive review favors MRI, CT, and prolonged EEG monitoring to rule out other differentials and showed that initiation of corticosteroid therapy and antiepileptic treatment were helpful in the resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrences. Therefore, future studies should be focused on early identification and management guidelines for SMART syndrome.

A Case of Giant Cell Arteritis Presenting As Catastrophic Posterior Circulation Stroke: A Diagnostic Dilemma
We describe a case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with jaw claudication and temporal headache. A colour duplex ultrasonography and later biopsy of the temporal arteries confirmed GCA and she was commenced on oral steroids. She was subsequently readmitted with a new worsening vision of both eyes and confusion. Her brain images revealed acute bilateral vertebral artery thrombus with haemorrhagic transformation. She was loaded on intravenous steroids. The next day she developed vomiting, bilateral visual loss and a cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation. Following the return of spontaneous circulation, she was tak...

Delayed Recurrent Stroke in a Young Patient with Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy
We report a 15-year-old patient who had bilateral APMPPE, which was successfully treated with corticosteroids. One year later he presented with transient dysarthria and right hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed bilateral ischemic lesions in both lenticular nuclei and corona radiata. Brain MRI performed 3 months later revealed a new asymptomatic ischemic lesion. Cerebral angiography showed diffuse multifocal segmental vessel narrowing. The cerebrospinal fluid showed mononuclear pleocytosis in keeping with vasculitis. We started corticosteroid treatment, which lasted 10 months. Currently, after 2 years...
