Aggressive Medical Care in Young Chinese Patients with Ischemic Stroke of Undetermined Etiology: A Retrospective Study
This study aimed to investigate the clinical and angiographic characteristics of ischemic stroke of undetermined etiology in young Chinese adults and to observe the effects of medication on their long-term outcomes. Methods: A total of 179 consecutive young patients with ischemic stroke of undetermined etiology were retrospectively analyzed for clinical and angiographic characteristics, laboratory tests, the choice of drug treatment, and follow-up outcomes. Any predictive power for recurrent stroke and new lesions or aggravated stenosis was analyzed. Results: 170 patients were clinically followed up for a median of 25 mont...

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...

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...
