Clinical Problem: Identification, work-up and treatment approach of isolated cortical venous thrombosis (ICVT) in the absence of traditional risk factors.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old previously well male presenting with two episodes of left-sided spreading sensory symptoms, found to be secondary to ICVT from extrinsic compression by an arachnoid cyst.
Key Teaching Points: Early identification of structural abnormalities causing extrinsic venous compression and ICVT or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is important for alternative treatment options and to avoid unnecessary testing.

Introduction Parenteral heparin is widely used as bridging therapy while optimising oral anticoagulation(OAC). Newer Direct-Acting OACs(DOACs) attain therapeutic effect very quickly. We report the use of dabigatran as bridging therapy during warfarin optimization for cardioembolic stroke in two patients who opted to receive warfarin for long-term anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention.

Background In treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS), asymmetrical vein signs (AVS) on blood-oxygen-level-dependent imaging reflect increased deoxyhemoglobin levels due to increased oxygen extraction fraction. Meanwhile, although veins connecting pial and deep venous systems, such as transcerebral veins, are well studied, dynamic observation of these veins remains challenging. This study aimed to elucidate the venous flow of the deep white matter (DWM), focusing on medullary AVS in patients with hyperacute cardioembolic M1 occlusion.

Infantile dural arteriovenous fistula (IDAVF) is a rare complex dural arteriovenous fistulas. This study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the angioarchitecture of arteriovenous shunts in IDAVFs and planning endovascular treatment. Five cases of IDAVF and a literature review were analyzed to characterize the shunt patterns of IDAVFs in terms of anatomic relations to the arterial feeder, sinuses, and cortical veins.

Background And Purpose: Lateral sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (LS-DAVFs) carry a higher rate of recurrence after endovascular treatment (EVT). Our objective was to investigate the independent predictors of recurrence and unfavorable functional outcome of low-and intermediate-grade LS-DAVFs after EVT.
Materials And Methods: Retrospectively reviewed our database of prospectively collected information for all patients with low and intermediate-grade LS-DAVFs that underwent EVT from May 2004 to December 2021.

Severe headache as the initial clinical manifestation of early neurological deterioration (END) is uncommon. The emergence of severe headache should be promptly recognized as a potential indicator of large vessel stenosis. Here, we describe a male patient who initially presented with severe headache accompanied by transient left limb weakness, which subsequently progressed to persistent weakness.
