Background: Ischemic stroke in the pediatric population is a rare occurrence, and its possible causes span a wide differential that includes atrial myxomas. Myxomas are friable cardiac tumors that produce "showers" of emboli resulting in transient neurological deficits, cutaneous eruptions, and ophthalmologic deficits.
Patient: We present an 11-year-old boy with a months-long history of an intermittent spotted "rash" who presented with acute ischemic stroke caused by a left atrial myxoma.

Numerous studies indicate a role for the actin cytoskeleton in secretion. Here, we have used evanescent wave and widefield fluorescence microscopy to study the involvement of the actin cytoskeleton in secretion from PC12 cells. Secretion was assayed as loss of ANF-EmGFP in widefield mode.

Servicio de Neurología II, Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, Oviedo.
Introduction: The term evanescent, or vanishing, has been used to describe those intracranial stenoses that are consecutive to the partial recanalization of an embolic occlusion. In general terms it has been admitted that those stenoses quickly disappear in parallel to the complete recanalization of the artery. This behaviour allows their differentiation from the atherosclerotic stenoses.
