This is the first case report of a CADASIL patient with MCA stenosis who underwent STA-MCA bypass to increase cerebral perfusion in the localized ischemic area. In CADASIL, reductions in both CBF and CVR occur in white matter showing T2-hyperintensity. It has been suggested that the degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells causes arteriopathy, which leads to cerebral hypoperfusion and impaired autoregulation (Chabriat et al. 2000; Huang et al. 2010; Singhal and Markus 2005; van den Boom et al. 2003). Interestingly, the white-matter hyperintensity in the temporal lobe was found predominant in the left side in this case. This asymmetry of white-matter hyperintensity is very unusual rare in CADASIL, since it would suggest that these lesions do not originate from ischemia, but edema instead. The lower extent observed in the most hypoperfused temporal lobe further support that these lesions are not related to ischemia but mat actually result from edema with blood brain barrier dysfunction. ...

There are many reports about the association of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebral artery stenosis (CAS), which had been proved to induce stroke and cognition decline after the revascularization including coronary bypass surgery (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention. Perfusion defect on nuclear brain scan is also noted to correlate with these neurological complications. On the other hand, the perioperative arrhythmia and following cerebral embolism was also attributed to be one factor inducing such neurological hazards.. In the patients with coexistent CAD and CAS (1st group), and also the patients scheduled for CABG or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (2nd group), we, the researchers at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, attempted to integrate all the parameters mention above, including angiography of coronary and cerebral system, quantitative analysis of nuclear brain scan, biochemical profile, and signals of a new ambulatory device which could record the electrocardiograph ...

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a fairly recently described constellation of clinical and radiological features: sudden, severe (thunderclap) headache; transient, multifocal, segmental vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries lasting several weeks to months; and focal neurological symptoms, sometimes with stroke. The features of what is now called RCVS have been repeatedly recognized, especially since an influential early report by Drs Call and Fleming et al1 published in 1988. A similar syndrome has attracted many different names, depending on whether patients present to specialists in headache, obstetrics, or neurology. These include thunderclap headache with vasospasm, migrainous vasospasm (or crash migraine), migrainous angiitis, drug-induced angiitis, postpartum angiopathy, and benign angiopathy of the central nervous system. The label RCVS is an attempt to unify these various descriptions of a distinct clinico-radiological pattern. Nevertheless, there remains ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe thunderclap headache, with or without associated neurological symptoms and neuroimaging findings of reversible vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries. Puerperium is a recognized precipitant, but the incidence of puerperal RCVS is unknown. We conducted a prospective study to assess incidence, risk factors and clinical features of RCVS. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Nine-hundred consecutive puerperae were prospectively enrolled within three days of delivery. Past medical history, basal demographic, anthropometric and biological variables were recorded. Transcranial Colour Coded Sonography (TCCS) was performed to assess early signs of vasospasm in brain vessels. A structured telephone interview was planned in all subjects one month postdelivery. RESULTS: Thunderclap headache was recorded in 8 subjects (0.9%) on the first visit. At the one month follow-up interview 27 more patients reported having had at

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS, sometimes called Call-Fleming syndrome) is a disease characterized by a weeks-long course of thunderclap headaches, sometimes focal neurologic signs, and occasionally seizures. Symptoms are thought to arise from transient abnormalities in the blood vessels of the brain. In some cases, it may be associated with childbirth, vasoactive or illicit drug use, or complications of pregnancy. For the vast majority of patients, all symptoms disappear on their own within three weeks. Deficits persist in a small minority of patients, with severe complications or death being very rare. Because symptoms resemble a variety of life-threatening conditions, differential diagnosis is necessary. The key symptom of RCVS is recurrent thunderclap headaches, which over 95% of patients experience. In two-thirds of cases, it is the only symptom. These headaches are typically bilateral, very severe and peak in intensity within a minute. They may last from minutes to ...

RCVS is a cerebrovascular disorder that can be occur as late as 3 weeks after an uncomplicated pregnancy, characteristic neuroimaging finding accompanied by severe and acute headache are important key features to consider RCVS diagnosis.. Here were present a 39-year-old woman, presented with headache and subsequent right hemiparesis 3 weeks after abortion. First brain CT scan was unremarkable. Brain CT angiography showed multiple segmental stenosis and at later scans, she developed sub arachnid hemorrhage (SAH) which is a pathognomonic feature of RCVS. She was treated with calcium channel blocker and headache relieved and hemiparesis was improved. Final diagnosis was made based on normal trans-cranial Doppler (TCD) study after 4 weeks of symptoms onset.. ...

Background and purpose: Atherosclerotic stenosis of major intracranial arteries accounts for 5 to 10% of all causes of stroke. The Warfarin versus Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) Study has demonstrated stroke onset in 5 among 100 patients with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (AIAS) during the follow-up period of 1.8 years. However, there are no prospective studies of intracranial stenosis in healthy subjects with a longer follow-up period. We conducted a 7-years longitudinal study in healthy subjects with AIAS to examine its risk factors and prognosis.. Methods: We performed a prospective study on 3,155 neurologically normal subjects without history of stroke (1724 men, 1431 woman, mean age of 59). They were followed up with the mean interval of 83 months to obtain information about their stroke event with a questionnaire by mail or telephone interview and inquiry to the relevant medical facilities. AIAS were assessed on MRA at the time of first visit for all ...

Strong correlations between plasma lipoprotein concentrations and the risk of stroke have never been clearly established. Unlike coronary heart disease, there is no significant direct relation between an increased risk of stroke and increased plasma total cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol; nor is there an inverse relation with high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.1 Indeed, an inverse relation exists between total cholesterol concentrations and cerebral haemorrhage.2. The reasons for this weak or absent relation are several. The most compelling is that virtually all coronary heart disease can be ascribed to coronary atheroma, whereas less than half the incidence of stroke is due to large vessel atheroma. Non-atheromatous causes such as cardiac arrhythmias, small cerebral artery disease, and cortical degeneration are responsible for most of the rest. Another is that, in general, coronary deaths occur at a younger age than strokes, so the population with raised plasma ...

This past weekend I paddled around Misery Island in Manchester, MA, where I live, in a race that my husband created and directed called The Misery Challenge (what a name!). Last year at this very same time, at this very same race, I had been without a voice for 3 months, was so thin I could barely make it up a flight of stairs, and could be found on most days lying down - searching for answers about why I was so sick (misery pretty much describes it). By September I was hospitalized at Mass General in Boston, quarantined in a negative pressurized room, and diagnosed with….tuberculosis. So unlikely. So surprising. So strange. Im still trying to put the pieces together of why and how that happened to me - but mostly I marvel at how far Ive come and how grateful I am to be healthy, strong and able to kayak 4 miles around an island with choppy waves and the force of the Atlantic behind it!

I didn?t go to the all ages show since I feel like some dirty old man when hanging around with a load of 15 year olds. Those shows should not be called ?all ages? but more like ?teens only? since anyone over 19 stands out. Anyway, back to the bar show. As mentioned earlier, I was not expecting a whole lot from the band, and it turns out that was a good thing because as soon as they started playing I looked at Rick with a grin and we both realized we were in for a treat. In the live situation the band didn?t sound like noise, or like grind-core. They played brutal death metal, and they played it tight. The bands riffing chops are killer. ...

Neuroborreliosis affects the nervous system after systemic infection with the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Previously, cerebral vasculitis has been regarded as an extremely rare complication of neuroborreliosis. The data on the long-term outcome in patients with cerebral vasculitis due to neuroborreliosis are limited. The objective of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of cases of neuroborreliosis-associated cerebral vasculitis. We recruited all patients (n = 11) diagnosed with neuroborreliosis-associated in three neurological departments in an East German region. Inclusion criteria were sudden neurological deficits, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings that conform to cerebral ischemia or brain infarction, intrathecal synthesis of borrelia-specific antibodies, and non-atherosclerotic pathology of brain supplying arteries. Vasculitic changes were detected by digital subtraction angiography, MR angiography and/or transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Outcomes were measured by ...

© Cambridge University Press 2014. Introduction: Cerebral ischemia is thought to be an important disease mechanism in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). It has been hypothesized that acute ischemia in the territory of the perforating artery results in lacunar stroke, while chronic ischemia occurring in the distal territories of the perforating arteries results in changes to cerebral white-matter, known as leukoaraiosis. The spatial pattern of leukoaraiosis, with changes first occurring in the brain regions furthest from the origin of the perforating arteries, would be consistent with disease occurring due to hypoperfusion. This has led to the suggestion that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in SVD, and many studies have been performed to investigate this issue. In addition, cerebral arteriopathy underlying SVD may also impair the ability of small cerebral vessels to vasodilate, leading to problems maintaining perfusion in response to drops in blood pressure and perfusion pressure. Impairments of

The purpose of the study was to highlight the acute motor reflex adaptation and to deepen functional deficits following a middle cerebral artery occlusion-reperfusion (MCAO-r). Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were included in this study. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO; 120 min) was performed on 16 rats studied at 1 and 7 days, respectively (MCAO-D1 and MCAO-D7, n = 8 for each group). The other animals were divided into 3 groups: SHAM-D1 (n = 6), SHAM-D7 (n = 6) and Control (n = 8). Rats performed 4 behavioral tests (the elevated body swing test, the beam balance test, the ladder-climbing test and the forelimb grip force) before the surgery and daily after MCAO-r. H-reflex on triceps brachii was measured before and after isometric exercise. Infarction size and cerebral edema were respectively assessed by histological (Cresyl violet) and MRI measurements at the same time points than H-reflex recordings. Animals with cerebral ischemia showed persistent functional deficits during the ...

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndromes (RCVS) comprises a group of diverse conditions, all characterized by spasm of the brain vessels. The main symptom of RCVS is sudden, severe headaches. Strokes or bleeding into the brain may or may not be present. RCVS was previously named benign angiopathy of the central nervous system (BACNS) but the term was recently changed to include other similar disorders.. RCVS is a major mimic of central nervous system vasculitis and should be distinguished from it given the difference in the treatment and the outlook between the two disorders.. Abnormality in the control of brain blood vessel pressure is believed to be the critical element in the pathophysiology of RCVS. The alteration in vascular tone may be spontaneous or evoked by various exogenous or endogenous factors. There is no evidence of vasculitic changes in the brain tissue in RCVS.. It is essential for clinicians evaluating patients for CNS vasculitis to be aware of RCVS and to distinguish it ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Elevated OEF is a surrogate for misery perfusion. Our aim was to detect misery perfusion in patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the ICA or MCA by using T2*-based MR imaging and to determine the relationship between brain ischemia and OEF.. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-three patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the ICA or MCA and 8 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Hemodynamic information was obtained in all subjects by MR imaging. Three regions of interest were placed in the anterior, middle, and posterior parts of the brain bilaterally to measure the OEF and CBF values, The OEFs of the regions of interest in the hemispheres ipsilateral and contralateral to the vascular lesions were compared. Brain regions with OEF greater than that in controls were determined as misery perfusion in patients. The association of vascular lesions, rCBF, and the presence of territory infarction with elevated OEF was investigated.. RESULTS: There ...

Female gender, which is abolished following ovariectomy and reproductive senescence, is associated with improved outcome following cerebral stroke. Estrogen replacement partially restores this benefit of the female gender but the effect of progesterone in hormone-deficient animals is currently unknown. We evaluated various outcomes following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in ovariectomised female mice, with a physiologically relevant restoration of progesterone levels. Ovariectomised female mice had significantly elevated plasma (P=,0.05) and brain progesterone levels (P=,0.01) following implantation of a 21-day release pellet (50mg) compared with mice that received placebo implants 7 days prior to undergoing 60 min MCAO. Assessment of well-being (body weight recovery) and neurological score at 24h and 48h post-MCAO indicated that MCAO significantly worsened outcome compared with sham-operated mice but progesterone had no effect. MCAO resulted in a substantial lesion formation and a ...

A recent large series7 found specific vasculopathies in 18% of pediatric ischemic strokes. We identified recognizable vasculopathies in almost 25% of our patients with arterial ischemic stroke. This percentage may underestimate their prevalence because not all patients in our series underwent vascular imaging. These findings underline the importance of vascular investigation in all arterial ischemic strokes in children. Moyamoya was the most frequent recognizable vasculopathy in our cases of ischemic stroke. Although the exact pathophysiologic mechanism of moyamoya remains unknown, it has been associated with many conditions, including trisomy 21 and congenital heart disease.15,16 The association of moyamoya with lupus anticoagulant17 or with a significantly elevated blood level of IgG aCLA18,19 also has been reported, albeit rarely. We report here two more cases of moyamoya associated with aCLA and arterial ischemic stroke. Surprisingly, in our series, aCLA was found in 2 of 6 patients with ...

When blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or reduced, the brain tissue is impacted and brain cells begin to die. This is known as a stroke. When an infant or child under the age of 18 has a stroke, it is known as a pediatric stroke.
