Many strokes from a single non-stenosing plaque: from the last event a light to the first one?

Neurol Sci

January 2025

Neuroradiology Unit, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, Via Amendola 2, Reggio Emilia, 42122, Italy.

Introduction: Large artery atherosclerosis is a relevant cause of ischemic stroke. Beyond carotid artery stenosis ≥ 50%, causative in etiological classification of stroke, non-stenosing plaques are an increasingly reported cause of stroke with embolic pattern.

Methods: We are presenting the case of a 56 years old woman presenting with a first symptomatic multifocal ischemic stroke in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory on 2018 and a finding of asymptomatic past vascular injury in the same vascular territory on neuroimaging studies.

The dark side of the fibroblastic sleeve: Case report and literature review.

At ultrasound scan, it typically presents as a thin layer of variably echogenic material covering the catheter surface, which usually tends to remain into the vessel after the catheter removal. However, several case reports have documented its migration toward the heart or pulmonary artery after a central venous catheter removal.

  • * There are no established management guidelines for CFFT, and while patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common heart abnormality, it typically isn't linked to stroke risk unless in younger patients (<55 years) where it might cause paradoxical embolism.
  • * This text presents a unique case of stroke with two potential causes: CFFT and a large PFO, raising the question of which factor was the actual cause of the stroke.

November 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kansai Rosai Hospital, 3-1-69, Inabaso, Amagasaki, Hyogo, 660-8511, Japan.

Background: Ascending aortic thrombus is a rare disease that can cause fatal thromboembolism. The treatment for the disease is not well defined and depends on the clinical experience of surgeons. Most reports of thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) are associated with venous or peripheral arterial thrombosis, and there are almost no reports of thrombosis of the aorta.
