🧠 How do you approach cervical carotid dissections associated with stroke? Labeyrie et al. show a technique that utilizes aspiration through a balloon guide catheter to expose the true lumen. Read more about it: bit.ly/4gFrRS7

When your patient starts to crump—remember CRUMPLED! Cortical restricted diffusion on MRI is often seen in neurologic decline. Do you crumple under the pressure of trying to remember all the causes of cortical restricted diffusion? Never fear! Here’s an easy mnemonic to help

The quality of medical education is not poor . IT DOES NOT EXIST! I am saying this with experience. Last week I was part of a panel conducting interviews for Ad-Hoc non academic junior residents for a period of just 44 days . For the benefit of people who don’t know what that

●Statins with long half-lives like Rosuvastatin, Atorvastatin, and Pitavastatin can be taken at any time of day. ●Short half-life statins (Simvastatin, Lovastatin, Fluvastatin, Pravastatin) should be taken at night for best efficacy. ●Why Evening Dosing? Short half-life

This graph sums it up. In acute stroke with tandem lesions (ICA + intracranial occlusion), acute carotid stenting during EVT was associated with better 90-day outcomes than EVT without stenting. Outcomes were similar with or without prior IV thrombolysis (IVT). Caveat:

Brain imaging is essential to exclude hemorrhage in adult and pediatric patients eligible for AIS reperfusion therapies. Although CT-based protocols are more efficient and generalizable, MRI-based protocols may be appropriate in high-resource settings and in pediatric

Every year in the United States, >600000 individuals have a first ischemic stroke and approximately 200000 more have a recurrent stroke. This guideline aims to incorporate this updated evidence in order to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive set of recommendations for the acute
