E-114 Rescue suction mechanical thrombectomy of medium-small vessel occlusion in a pediatric patient presented with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionEndovascular aspiration mechanical thrombectomy of MSVO is feasible in pediatric patients presenting with AIS and associated with good functional outcome. Additionally, when acute ongoing neurological deficit is present and CTA is inconclusive, a digital subtraction angiography is deemed needed to identify MSVO as the yields of CTA diminishes significantly beyond LVO. Further studies are required.Disclosures R. Hart: None. A. Singh: None. C. Manzanero: None. Y. Lodi: None.

Brain Function Changes Induced by Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression in Patients with Stroke as Assessed by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
CONCLUSIONS: The significantly increased WA values in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V in the MC of patients with ischemic stroke might be related to cortical activity in the MC in addition to increased cerebral perfusion. The decreased LI values in the prefrontal cortex and MC indicated that the ISPC may have had a positive effect on the functional rehabilitation of these regions.IMPACT: This study provides a method for assessing the effects of ISPC on cerebral oscillations, and the results benefit the optimization of ISPC parameters in personalized treatment for the functional recovery of patients with stroke.PMID:...

Robot-assisted mechanical therapy attenuates stroke-induced limb skeletal muscle injury Research
The efficacy and optimization of poststroke physical therapy paradigms is challenged in part by a lack of objective tools available to researchers for systematic preclinical testing. This work represents a maiden effort to develop a robot-assisted mechanical therapy (RAMT) device to objectively address the significance of mechanical physiotherapy on poststroke outcomes. Wistar rats were subjected to right hemisphere middle-cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. After 24 h, rats were split into control (RAMT–) or RAMT+ groups (30 min daily RAMT over the stroke-affected gastrocnemius) and were followed up to postst...

Ipsilateral eye closure and hemifacial weakness: Useful clinical clue to diagnose pseudostroke
A 16-year-old boy with anxiety was admitted for evaluation of acute-onset left face/hemibody numbness and weakness. Because of the possibility of an acute stroke, he was admitted to an outside hospital and underwent extensive investigations before transfer to our center. On examination, left hemifacial weakness was seen with pulling of the angle of the mouth to the right and left eye closure (video at Neurology.org/cp). CT head, CT perfusion, MRI, and magnetic resonance angiography of the brain did not show any evidence of ischemia or vasculopathy. EEG was normal. Symptoms resolved completely within several weeks with phys...
