Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy (SMART) Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
AbstractPurpose of ReviewSMART syndrome is a delayed complication of cranial irradiation that can be misconstrued as tumor recurrence or some other intracranial neurological disease. Recognition of this clinical syndrome is imperative as it can obviate the need for invasive diagnostic testing and can provide reassurance to both the patient and their loved ones.Recent FindingsSMART syndrome is generally considered a reversible clinical syndrome; however, neurological deficits may become permanent. Pathophysiology of SMART syndrome may involve cerebrovascular autoregulation impairment, neuronal dysfunction leading to trigemi...

A unique finding of the basilar artery
AbstractVariants of the posterior intracranial circulation are important for surgeon, interventionalists and radiologists. Herein, a unique configuration of the basilar artery is reported. A 54-year-old man with a history of COPD, hypothyroidism, smoking, and hyperlipidemia presented to an outside institution with nausea, confusion, altered mental status, and ataxia. The patient was evaluated for stroke. Imaging revealed rotation of the basilar apex of 180 degrees, fetal configuration of the posterior communicating artery, right posterior cerebral artery filling from the left vertebral artery, and duplication of the left a...

An unusual presentation of Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome
We present a case where acute ischaemic stroke and encephalopathy are early manifestations of Idiopathic HES. It is important to consider HES as an aetiology for stroke and a high eosinophil count is an initial diagnostic clue. Early initiation of steroid therapy can potentially prevent disease progression.

Increased Risk of Hypertension Associated with Spondyloarthritis Disease Duration: Results from the ASAS-COMOSPA Study.
CONCLUSION: Duration of SpA disease in the ASAS-COMOSPA cohort is associated with higher odds of HTN, particularly in those with axial disease, but not with other CV-related conditions. The association with HTN does not appear to be related to NSAID exposure.
