Time of the day and season distribution among stroke code subtypes: differences between ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and stroke mimic.

Background: Circadian variations in the timing of the onset of stroke symptoms have been described, showing a morning excess of cardiovascular risk. To date, no differences have been found between stroke subtype and time distribution throughout the day. The present study aims to compare the seasonal and circadian rhythm of symptoms onset in ischemic, hemorrhagic, and stroke mimic patients.

Epileptiform electroencephalogram discharges increase seizure recurrence risk in patients with acute symptomatic seizure due to a structural brain lesion.

Objective: The risk factors for seizure recurrence after acute symptomatic seizure due to a structural brain lesion are not well established. The aim of this study was to analyze possible associations between demographic, clinical, and electroencephalographic variables and epilepsy development in patients with acute symptomatic seizure due to an acute structural brain lesion.

Methods: We designed an observational prospective study of patients with acute symptomatic seizure due to an acute structural brain lesion (hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, or meningoencephalitis) who underwent EEG during their initial admission between January 2015 and January 2020.

[Concomitant, asynchronous and refractory trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Good response to surgical approach in one time].

Introduction: Microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery is the first choice treatment for refractory cranial neuralgia secondary to vascular compression. Simultaneous neuralgia of two cranial nerves is extremely rare. We describe a case of concomitant refractory trigeminal (TN) and glossopharyngeal (GN) neuralgia secondary to neurovascular crossover, treated surgically at the same time.

Safety and Outcome of Revascularization Treatment in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and COVID-19: The Global COVID-19 Stroke Registry.

Background And Objectives: COVID-19-related inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy may increase the bleeding risk and lower the efficacy of revascularization treatments in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to evaluate the safety and outcomes of revascularization treatments in patients with AIS and COVID-19.

Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter cohort study of consecutive patients with AIS receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or endovascular treatment (EVT) between March 2020 and June 2021 tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.
