A 36-year-old man with a history of cervical spinal cord stimulator (SCS) lead placement presented with transient right-sided hemiparesis and diplopia that began 2 days after a coughing episode. Imaging revealed lateral and cranial migration of one of the patient's SCS leads. Deactivation of the SCS resulted in rapid improvement of his nonmotor symptoms but did not resolve his motor deficits. The SCS system was surgically explanted, resulting in resolution of the patient's motor symptoms. The unique neurologic symptomatology demonstrated by this patient is a previously undescribed complication of SCS placement and lead migration.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.

Background And Purpose: Transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography has become more popular due to fewer complications and greater patient comfort compared to transfemoral access. However, the frequency and nature of neurologic complications linked to TRA remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the incidence of symptomatic neurologic complications after transradial cerebral angiography, identify risk factors, and characterize clinical and imaging features of these complications.

Objectives: Vascular Eagle syndrome (ES) is a rare condition involving vessel compression by an elongated styloid process, leading to neurologic symptoms. Here, we present the case of a patient with a complication of carotid artery stenting for vascular ES and discuss the implications of treatment of this rare condition.

We present the case of a 70-year-old man with a history of embolic stroke, atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and polymyalgia rheumatica who presented as a stroke code with transient right-sided focal neurologic deficits (motor and sensory), mild alteration in consciousness, and mild aphasia. His cerebrovascular imaging revealed new multifocal intracranial stenoses. Despite best medical management, this patient continued to have recurrent symptomatic cerebrovascular events.

A 24-year-old obese female (height = 162 cm, weight = 84 kg, and BMI = 32.0) developed transient dysarthria and left hemiparesis, which was diagnosed as moyamoya disease (MMD) after imaging studies. Cerebral angiography and single photon emission computed tomography studies revealed that the above symptoms were caused by hemodynamic insufficiency in the bilateral hemispheres with right-sided predominance, and a right-sided superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass was performed.
