The presence of headache within a 72-h interval of stroke onset was investigated in a cohort of 145 lacunar infarcts. Fourteen (10%) experienced diffuse or bilateral headache. Hypertension was less frequent (43 vs 76%; 95% CI: 6 to 60%) and of shorter duration (2.4 vs 7.8 years; t = 2.29; p = 0.02)
BACKGROUND
Leukoaraiosis is commonly found in neuroimaging in ancient people. The pathogenic theory that most suitably explains its origin is the vascular one, mainly linked to cerebral hemodynamic abnormalities. The techniques most frequently used in cerebral hemodynamic evaluation (PET and SPECT)
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the correlation between the diffusion anisotropy of the white matter fibers and the cognitive function in patients with leukoaraiosis (LA).
METHODS
Thirty-one LA patients were enrolled in this study, including 13 with grade LA-1 (mild), 12 with grade LA-2 (moderate) and 6
Objective To explore the possible correlation between uric acid levels and leukoaraiosis (LA). Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled patients who presented with some neurological discomfort (e.g. dizziness, headache, mild cognitive impairment). Potential demographic and clinical risk factors
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarctions and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited CNS disease, which is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. Selective disorders of small vessels underlie the disease pathogenesis. Clinically CADASIL is characterized by
The case of a 72-year-old demented woman having episodes of strokes without any risk factors for cardiovascular disease is reported. Her elder brother and sister have also had stroke episodes since their middle age. She experienced hallucinations, delusions, and recurrent headaches since the age of
OBJECTIVE
Many clinical trials are currently being conducted to evaluate the ability of neuroprotectors and thrombolytic agents to improve survival and functional outcome after ischemic stroke. Such trials require early predictors of survival and disability for ethical and methodological reasons.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is most commonly recognized by β-amyloid deposition in the small and medium sized vessels of the brain. The 71-year-old female presented with a sudden onset of vertigo and headache. By native computer tomography (CT) examination we found cerebral atrophy and the
There are a number of patients who develop severe anxiety or depression after receiving facial cosmetic injections. We presented a 32-year-old woman who developed frequent panic, tension headache, tachycardia, shortness of breath, and sleep disorder for a year after the injection of hyaluronic acid
BACKGROUND
Focal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is often revealed by transient and recurrent focal neurological episodes. This cause is important to identify because it carries a high risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We report the clinical, imaging and prognostic data of 17 patients with focal
OBJECTIVE
To identify patterns of clinical presentation, imaging findings, and etiologies in a cohort of hospitalized patients with localized nontraumatic convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
METHODS
Twenty-nine consecutive patients with atraumatic convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage were identified using
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical, genetic, neuroimaging, and neuropathologic studies of patients with the hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis linked to the APP E693K mutation.
METHODS
Case series. Clinical details and laboratory results were collected by direct evaluation and previous
