Here we present the case of a patient with right upper extremity and lower weakness three-day duration, which triggered stroke evaluation. Ultimately, diagnosis spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) was made. Non-stroke diagnoses that stroke-like symptoms are referred to in medical literature as mimics. Such cases neurological deficits imitate acute ischemic stroke. The frequency such presentations...

Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. One of the factors that affect the occurrence of stroke can be attributed to changes in the levels of trace elements. Accumulating evidence has been shown that magnesium, as an important element, is a new predictor of stroke. We aimed to determine the levels of Mg in ischemic stroke patients in comparison with those having th...

Stroke is an important cause of disability and death worldwide, with the majority of strokes occurring in older people. Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-TPA) is the approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke. A major concern of physicians, who treat acute ischemic stroke with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-TPA,) is the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage...

Stroke is an acute neuro-deficit disease that occurs when there a disturbance of cerebral blood flow. There are two kinds stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Ischemic due to the formation thrombosis emboli. Thrombosis emboli block bloodstream in small vessels or prominent vessels. Drugs can cause hemostasis mechanism, such as antiplatelets, usually used on management. This study aim...

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is indispensable for both prognosis and treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, there is subtype of acute ischemic stroke (i.e., posterior circulation stroke) that is difficult to diagnose using the NIHSS. The authors report the limits of NIHSS in this stroke subtype, suggesting thereby the need to modify and render it mo...

background: stroke is a leading cause of death all around the world, and ischemic stroke is considered to be the most common stroke type. toll-like receptors (tlrs) are important molecules for detection of both pathogen invasion and tissue damage. in this regard, the purpose of this study was to assess the expression level of tlr2 on monocytes in patients with ischemic stroke and to evaluate th...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory vasculitis. KD is classified into two groups based on clinical characteristics criteria, namely classic and incomplete. Cerebral vascular abnormality, especially arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is very rare and unusual in KD. Here, we report a 4-year-old boy who was referred to our tertiary pediatric center with abrupt right hemiparesis and aphasia. At ad...

Objective: Intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes acute ischemic stroke. In endovascular treatment (EVT) for large vessel occlusion stroke-related ICAD, reocclusion recanalized artery due to in situ thrombosis problematic. this study, safety and efficacy prasugrel administration avoid emergent EVT ICAD was investigated.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Perfusion-weighted imaging in adults with acute stroke often reveals hypoperfusion in the ischemic core and in a surrounding area of nondiffusion-restricted penumbral tissue. Perinatal stroke is common, but the perfusion pattern is rarely documented. We aimed to describe the perfusion pattern in newborns with perinatal stroke. METHODS Neonates with clinical features of ...

UNLABELLED Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and ischemic stroke is one of its most common and devastating manifestations. Proinflammatory cytokines play a key role in the progression of the irreversible ischemic lesions. The presence of anti-inflammatory mediators may prevent secondary ischemic injury. OBJECTIVES 1) To assess the relationship between stroke severity and the serum l...
