[Specific markers of myocardial injury in acute stroke].

Introduction: It is thought that any acute damage to the central nervous system and, more particularly, acute cerebrovascular disease (ACVD) can give rise to a myocardial lesion. Our aim is to apply the latest biochemical markers (troponin T, troponin I and myoglobin) to the study of this problem.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 42 patients who were consecutively admitted to hospital with ACVD.

[Carotidynia as a form of presentation of paraxysmal hemicrania].

Introduction: Paroxysmal hemicrania is a well-defined clinical condition about which many articles have been published. Attempts have been made to explain the response of this illness to indomethacin, suggesting its possible cervical origin. In some patients it is set off by stimulation of certain trigger zones situated in this region.
