Introduction: Migraine with aura (MA) accounts for up to 10% of “stroke mimics” and can present cerebral perfusion abnormalities. We aimed compare perfusion-CT (PCT) findings in acute-onset MA mimicking an ischemic stroke those observed transient attack (TIA). Methods: retrospectively studied patients admitted our hospital between 2002 2014 suspicion acute stroke, having PCT receiving a final diagnosis MA. visually assessed the presence extent focal hypoperfusion (FHP). FHP were compared...
The relationship between Parkinson's disease (PD) and cardiovascular cerebrovascular is not yet well established. Recent data suggest an increased risk of myocardial infarction stroke in PD patients. Therefore, we designed a study to assess surrogate markers PD.We conducted case-control comparing patients recruited from Movement Disorders Unit with controls randomly invited primary healthcare center. All participants underwent detailed clinical evaluation, including medical history, physical...
Background and purpose ‘Stroke chameleons’ refer to a group of syndromes that initially are not diagnosed as cerebrovascular events but then found represent stroke. The objective this study was report on acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with chest or epigastric pain central origin, clinically resembling an coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A prospective list kept AIS admitted our institution between 2002 2014 symptoms appearing ACS first clinical evaluation. For each identified patient,...
Background and Purpose The cardiovascular risk in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains uncertain controversial. Some studies suggest PD patients present an increased of cerebrovascular disease. We aimed to study the prevalence neuroimaging biomarkers compared controls, using accurate complete magnetic resonance (MR) imaging evaluation. Material Methods Neuroimaging sub-study within a larger cross-sectional case–control study. An enriched subgroup (≤10 years since diagnosis) with at least...

Musicians' hand dystonia has been reported mainly for those who play instruments requiring maximal fine-motor skills, including the guitar.We report a case of healthy guitar player that presented with discoordination while playing guitar, initially more evident in third finger right hand, and, later, fourth left abnormal postures flexion, causing impairment and errors.No other features were present.Investigation was unremarkable.Trihexyphenidyl initiated poor response.The use gloves as...
