Small, randomized trials of patients with cervical artery dissection showed conflicting results regarding optimal stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to compare outcomes in treated antiplatelets versus anticoagulation.
Patients with functional neurological disorder presenting as stroke mimics or (FSMs) pose significant diagnostic challenges. In the acute phase, especially when patients are present within therapeutic window for reperfusion treatments, a misdiagnosis of FSM can lead to unnecessary and costly interventions. Despite its clinical importance, literature on risk factors is limited. This study aims compare epidemiological characteristics those confirmed ischemic (AIS). case-control involved...
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with cervical artery dissection (CAD) are at risk for subsequent ischemic events. We aimed to identify characteristics that associated increased of stroke after initial presentation CAD and evaluate the differential impact anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk individuals. METHODS: This was a preplanned secondary analysis STOP-CAD study (Antithrombotic Treatment Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection), multicenter international...
Pregnancy is associated with increased risk of venous thrombotic events, including cerebral thrombosis. We aimed to study the complications and outcome subsequent pregnancies in women previous thrombosis.Follow-up acute thrombosis at childbearing age included a previously described cohort (International Study Cerebral Vein Dural Sinus Thrombosis). Patients were interviewed by local neurologists assess rate pregnancy outcomes, antithrombotic prophylaxis during pregnancies.A total 119...
Dear Sir: Concomitant occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke is infrequently encountered in emergent patients. Acute MI within the previous 3 months considered a relative contraindication for therapy with alteplase or intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV rtPA).1 The use IV rtPA patients recent associated an increased risk cardiac rupture, secondary to breakdown existing fibrin clot necrotic myocardium and/or degradation collagen2. Whether it appropriate perform...
Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is characterised by episodes during the first period of night sleep with partial loss consciousness, and amnesia. It can rarely be induced some drugs, including zolpidem. We present a video report patient 1-year history SRED caused zolpidem causing important repercussions in structure life quality. The ceased promptly discontinuation Upon follow-up, improved daily consequences disappeared. As few reported cases zolpidem-induced SRED, our was suffering...
The artery of Percheron (AOP) is an abnormal variant the arterial supply thalamus. Stroke caused by AOP occlusion seldom reported. leads to bilateral thalamic and rostral midbrain infarct presenting with unspecific manifestations. There are few descriptions case series stroke AOP. We sought review clinicoradiological characteristics infarction from Algarve, Southern Portugal. Eight consecutive cases were retrospectively identified searching electronic clinical charts, as well Unit database...
The incidence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is highest in very old elderlies (≥75 years). increasing use antithrombotic drugs shifting the epidemiology SICH towards predominance lobar subtype, suggesting an incremented propensity bleeding associated with underlying cerebral amyloid angiopathy. With population aging and use, a parallel raise proportion occurring. Improvement prognostication this specific age group type needed. Routine blood biomarkers can contribute to...
