Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences between cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-RI) and biopsy-positive primary angiitis of the CNS (BP-PACNS), focusing on their clinical and radiologic presentations as well as relapse rates.
- It included 104 patients with CAA-RI and 52 with BP-PACNS, revealing that CAA-RI tends to show more white matter lesions and hemorrhagic features, while BP-PACNS is associated more with headaches and motor deficits.
- The results indicate significant differences in features between the two conditions, suggesting that they may require different diagnostic approaches and could have varying outcomes in terms of recurrence.
Background And Purpose: Iodine contrast extravasation (ICE) is common in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after endovascular-thrombectomy (EVT). The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of ICE assessed by dual-energy CT (DECT), its determinants, and associations with clinical outcome.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively examined imaging parameters and clinical factors from consecutive patients with AIS treated with EVT who had a DECT 24 hours thereafter, identified at a single academic center.
Prospective observational study of stroke in Cayenne, Tours and Besançon: The BECATOUR study.

November 2023
Background: Stroke is a major public health issue. Its epidemiology is still poorly known in French Guiana.
Method: We conducted a prospective observational study including 100 consecutive patients hospitalized for stroke in Cayenne (in French Guiana), and Tours and Besançon (in metropolitan France).
Background And Purpose: In patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and a large vessel occlusion (LVO), thrombus migration (T-Mig) is a common phenomenon before mechanical thrombectomy (MT), revealed by pre-treatment imaging. Previous works have used qualitative scales to define T-Mig. The aim of this study was to evaluate the determinants and impact of quantitatively assessed T-Mig on procedural characteristics and clinical outcome.

- The study focuses on improving stroke care pathways, particularly the revascularization process for ischemic stroke, highlighting the importance of timely interventions.
- Researchers identified factors that lead to delays in treatment, such as not calling emergency medical services, prior autonomy loss, and atypical symptoms, which significantly increased the chance of delayed imaging and revascularization.
- The findings suggest the need for better organization and educational campaigns in the region to encourage quicker EMS calls and improve public awareness of stroke symptoms, aiming to reduce treatment delays.
