Anti-platelet factor (PF4) disorders are severe and diagnosis may be challenging. Intracranial hemorrhage could present first but usually develops secondary to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
The risks of ischemic and hemorrhagicstroke and poor neurological outcomes after stroke are increased in people with type 2 diabetes. Explore how to manage the hyperacute stroke stage and CV disease prevention.
Strokes can occur after transcatheter aortic valve replacement due to circulating embolic debris. Are new cerebral embolic protection devices the answer?
Treating patients with acute mild-to-moderate stroke with aspirin plus clopidogrel reduces the risk for early neurological deterioration at 7 days, compared with aspirin alone.

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.
Anti-platelet factor (PF4) disorders are severe and diagnosis may be challenging. Intracranial hemorrhage could present first but usually develops secondary to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Procedural stroke is a major complication of cardiac catheterization and endovascular procedures, and recognizing the signs is crucial. In this case, internuclear ophthalmoplegia caused blurred vision, diplopia, and dizziness on lateral gaze.
A 31-year-old woman taking oral contraceptives presented with repetitive ischemic strokes before a patent foramen ovale was detected and closed. The dual risk of an undiagnosed PFO and common use of oral contraceptives should be considering in young women presenting with stroke symptoms.
A patient in the fourth decade of life with no significant medical history was found down with global aphasia, right-sided hemiplegia, and homonymous hemianopsia. The patient had been seen normally 36 h prior. Initial non-contrast computed …
Arterial and venous thromboembolism is a major medical concern that requires therapeutic anticoagulation in various medical fields to prevent its drastic consequences. Despite significant advances in anticoagulant therapy, thrombosis remains a …
The neural mechanisms underlying language recovery after a stroke remain controversial. This review aimed to summarize the plasticity and reorganization mechanisms of the language network through neuroimaging studies. Initially, we discussed the …
Endovascular therapy (EVT) is a highly effective stroke treatment, but trials validating this intervention did not include patients with posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion. The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess …
Neuroimaging plays an increasingly critical role in clinical practice. PET Pearls is an interactive activity designed to improve your confidence and accuracy when interpreting imaging for early signs of cognitive impairment.
About 50% of stroke patients have an unfavorable outcome. Predicting outcome is challenging but is key to understanding how best to treat patients.
Prof Susanne Wegener discusses her team’s work to develop deep learning models that outperform neurologists when predicting outcome based on imaging data alone or in combination with clinical data.
Determination of blood flow, i.e., stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO), is an integral part of hemodynamic monitoring in intensive care medicine. Despite the availability of less- or non-invasive technologies, intermittent CO monitoring …
In 20–40% of ischemic strokes, the aetiology initially remains unexplained [ 1 ]. Subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is often suspected as the underlying cause in patients with an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Current guidelines …
Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is considered a life-threatening emergency and is associated with high morbidity and mortality [ 1 – 3 ]. The etiology of most BAOs can be broadly divided into two categories: embolism and atherosclerosis. Other rare …
The management of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and large thrombus burden (LTB) remains challenging. Despite the advent of potent antithrombotic regimens, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in AMI cases with LTB often …
