Article Synopsis
- A 78-year-old man experienced an acute stroke due to a posterior inferior cerebellar artery blockage, resulting in severe vertigo, gait imbalance, and dysphagia.
- Clinical examination revealed complex nystagmus patterns: a right-beating nystagmus in primary gaze and a left-beating nystagmus when looking left, indicating central nervous system involvement.
- Brain imaging confirmed an acute stroke affecting the left medulla and cerebellum, suggesting that damage to specific brain structures can lead to diverse nystagmus presentations associated with central lesions.
Background And Objectives: Many reversible brain MRI abnormalities have been described, among these the most frequently reported are cortical hyperintensities on FLAIR/T2 occurring during seizures. Much less attention has been given to those situations where White Matter goes Dark: subcortical white matter hypointensity on T2/FLAIR. Our aim is to identify the medical condition "Dark White Matter" (DWM) is more frequently associated with.

We investigated baseline and procedural characteristics, outcomes and predictors of outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial carotid artery occlusion.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke was performed.
