In order to discuss the clinical and MRI features, diagnosis, and prevention of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), we reported an adult case of MOG antibody-related disease misdiagnosed as cerebral infarction. This patient's first clinical symptom was limb weakness, that different from previous reports of MOG antibody-related diseases, such as brainstem encephalitis, neuromyelitis optical, and transverse myelitis. The main treatment plan is high-dose corticosteroid therapy combined with immunoglobulin therapy. This case indicated that some MOGAD patients lack of specificity in the clinical manifestations and imaging perhaps would be misdiagnosed as cerebral infarction, encephalitis, immune peripheral neuropathy, MS, NMOSD, and other diseases. For patients with atypical clinical manifestations or imaging, it is especially important to take antibody detection as early as possible to make correct diagnosis and active treatment in time to avoid disability.

is a gram-positive bacterium commonly found in dairy products and used as a probiotic due to its resistance to acid and bile. While generally considered safe, rare cases of bacteremia and endocarditis have been reported, primarily in individuals with significant risk factors. This report discusses an elderly male with a history of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and asthma, who developed bacteremia and endocarditis after consuming large quantities of Greek yogurt.

The chronic occlusion of intracranial arteries generally has no or mild clinical symptoms, and the clinical symptoms of acute cerebral artery occlusion are mostly manifested as severe cerebral infarction symptoms, which often make early diagnosis difficult, thus losing the best treatment opportunity. Once cerebral infarction occurs, the consequences are difficult to recover. This is also an important reason for the high misdiagnosis rate and mortality of this disease.

Purpose: Few data are available on the causality of cerebral artery fenestration (CAF) triggering cerebral infarction (CI) and this study aims to identify representative morphological features that can indicate risks.
Methods: A cohort comprising 89 patients diagnosed with CAF were enrolled from a total of 9,986 cranial MR angiographies. These patients were categorized into Infarction Group ( = 55) and Control Group ( = 34) according to infarction events.

Background: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been linked to prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the association between SHR and severe disturbance of consciousness (DC) and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction remains explored. This study seeks to assess the predictive potential of SHR for severe DC and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction.

Pediatric patients with moyamoya disease frequently show rapid progression with a high risk of stroke. Indirect revascularization is widely accepted as a surgical treatment for pediatric moyamoya disease, but it does not augment cerebral blood flow immediately, which leaves patients at risk for stroke peri-operatively. This delay in flow augmentation may make adding direct bypass the better option.
