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.

Background: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe headaches, often thunderclap headaches, and a multifocal constriction of the cerebral arteries. Although RCVS can occur spontaneously, some cases occur after exposure to drugs. We describe the first case of RCVS in which methylphenidate, a drug with vasoconstrictive properties, is the only suspected drug.

granulomatous amebic encephalitis is a rare disease that is associated with a high rate of mortality. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are common because of limited information on the organism in addition to its nonspecific clinical presentation. Prior reports have demonstrated that the encephalitis presents as multifocal lesions throughout the central nervous system with enhancement and edema.

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.

Vasculitis can be challenging to diagnose, especially when vessels of multiple sizes are affected and manifestations do not classically fit into defined rheumatic disease entities. We present the case of a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with headache and altered mental status, with subsequent left-sided hemiparesis and hemispatial neglect eight days after a dental procedure. She was found to have extensive multi-focal ischemic infarctions secondary to vasculitis affecting multiple intracranial blood vessels.
