BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The rarity of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae makes physicians often overlook this potential diagnosis in patients with progressive gait disturbance and paraparesis. Consequently, patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae can gradually become completely paraplegic if the final diagnosis is delayed considerably. The objective of the current study is to demonstr...
Interobserver agreement for the assessment of handicap in stroke patients was investigated in a group of 10 senior neurologists and 24 residents from two centers. One hundred patients were separately interviewed by two physicians in different combinations. The degree of handicap was recorded by each observer on the modified Rankin scale, which has six grades (0-5). The agreement rates were corr...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Minor stroke and transient ischemic attack portend a significant risk of disability. Three possible mechanisms for this include disability not captured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, symptom progression, or recurrent stroke. We sought to assess the relative impact of these mechanisms on disability in a population of patients with transient ischemic att...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are few data on the effectiveness and side effects of antiepileptic drug therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage. We tested the hypothesis that antiepileptic drug use is associated with more complications and worse outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 98 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and recorded antiepileptic drug use ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Wake-up ischemic stroke (WUIS) patients are not eligible for thrombolysis; the a priori hypothesis was that thrombolysis of selected WUIS patients who meet clinical and imaging criteria for treatment is associated with better outcomes. METHODS The sample consisted of consecutive WUIS patients who fulfilled predefined criteria: (1) were last seen normal >4.5 hours and <1...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE "Home time" (HT) refers to the number of days over the first 90 after stroke onset that a patient spends residing in their own home or a relative's home versus any institutional care. It is an accessible and objective parameter, free from subjective bias, with potential as an outcome measure in acute stroke trials. We sought to validate HT and assess treatment responsiven...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous clinical studies suggested benefit for poststroke recovery when MLC601 was administered between 2 weeks and 6 months of stroke onset. The Chinese Medicine Neuroaid Efficacy on Stroke recovery (CHIMES) study tested the hypothesis that MLC601 is superior to placebo in acute, moderately severe ischemic stroke within a 72-hour time window. METHODS This multicenter,...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of noninvasive methods in the evaluation of collateral circulation has yet to be defined. We hypothesized that a favorable pattern of leptomeningeal collaterals, as identified by CT angiography, correlates with improved outcomes. METHODS Data from a prospective cohort study at 2 university-based hospitals where CT angiography was systematically performed in the...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies reported Fabry disease in 0% to 4% of young patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke (IS). We sought to determine the prevalence of Fabry and outcomes among young Canadians with cryptogenic IS or transient ischemic attack (TIA). METHODS We prospectively enrolled individuals aged 18 to 55 with IS or speech or motor TIA, and no cause identified despite p...
