Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We aimed to explore neurovascular imaging patterns in patients with SARS-CoV-2-related AIS.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and radiological data of patients hospitalized with AIS and a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 prior to AIS onset.
Article Synopsis
- A significant portion of patients (1 in 10) experience epilepsy after having cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but it's challenging to predict who will be affected.* -
- Researchers created the DIAS3 prognostic score using clinical data from over 1,100 patients to assess the likelihood of developing post-CVT epilepsy based on six clinical variables.* -
- The study found a range of predicted risks for post-CVT epilepsy within one and three years, with successful validation of the score confirming its effectiveness in estimating individual risk.*
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of acute incidental cerebral microinfarcts (CMI) in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and their link to future strokes (AIS) or transient ischemic attacks (TIA).
- A cohort of 292 adults, including 207 with APS, was analyzed, revealing that 6.3% of APS patients had acute incidental CMI on MRI, while no control subjects did.
- The findings show that APS is significantly associated with the presence of acute incidental CMI, which increases the risk of subsequent AIS or TIA over a median follow-up of four years.
Background: Delays in reperfusion treatment, both intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT), adversely affect outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). To alleviate these delays, it is essential to comprehend how patients' baseline and stroke characteristics impact in-hospital reperfusion delays. While demographic and socioeconomic factors affect stroke outcomes, their impact on in-hospital delays remains unclear.

Acute incidental CMI was found to be more common in patients with cancer. Whether acute incidental CMI predicts future ischemic stroke is still unknown.
