Clinical data continue to reveal that the incidence of perinatal stroke is high, similar to that in the elderly. Perinatal stroke leads to significant morbidity and severe long-term neurological and cognitive deficits, including cerebral palsy. Experimental models of cerebral ischemia in neonatal rodents have shown that the pathophysiology of perinatal brain damage is multifactorial. Cerebral v...

Abstract Thrombosis of the cerebral veins and sinuses (CVT) is a distinct cerebrovascular disorder that, unlike arterial stroke, most often affects children young adults, especially women. In this review, we will summarize recent advances on knowledge patients with CVT.

Objective: Cerebral ischemic stroke is a life threatening neurological disorder leads to mortality and long term disability in survival patients. Atherosclerosis is a common cause of ischemic strokes which inturn predisposes thromboembolism and than triggers thrombotic strokes or transient ischemic attacks. The atherogenic nature of homocysteine plays a vital role in the development of cardiac ...

Background and Purpose Doppler ultrasound detection of emboli signals may assist in distinguishing erabolic from thrombotic stroke. Selected patient groups have a high incidence of such signals. We have examined consecutive stroke cases to identify the incidence of Doppler emboli in different etiologic subtypes of stroke. Methods Forty-five patients presenting with first-ever acute carotid terr...

OBJECTIVE The clinical features of cardiac myxoma stroke have not been sufficiently described. Debates remain concerning the options and timing of treatment and the clinical outcomes are unknown. This article aims to highlight the pertinent aspects of this rare condition. METHODS Data source of the present study came from a comprehensive literature collection of cardiac myxoma stroke in PubMe...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are few population-based data available regarding nursing home use after stroke. This study clarifies the use of a nursing home after stroke, as well as its dependence on stroke severity, in a defined population. METHODS All first stroke events among residents of Rochester, Minn, during 1987-1989 were ascertained, subtyped, and assigned Rankin disability scores (R...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with ischemic stroke, cerebral transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), retinal artery occlusion (RAO), and amaurosis fugax are thought to have similar risk factors and underlying vascular disease. However, if risk factors are different in patients with eye compared with brain symptoms and in those whose symptoms last <24 hours (transient) compared with those lasting >...

We report an uncommon case of simultaneous cardio-cerebral infarction, due to Inferior – right ventricle ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) with acute ischemic stroke. Incidence cardio cerebral infarction is exceptionally rare, incidence rate as low 0.009%. Hemodynamic compromise in patients myocardial may result the blood flow reduction that cause hemodynamic Due rarity this co...
