Abstract WP227: Deep Medullary Vein Thrombosis in Neonates

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Deep medullary vein(DMV) thrombosis is a rare cause of neurological damage noted in both term and preterm infants. Although their incidence in children is not know, DMV thrombosis can occur isolated or in association with cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT). No worsening hemorrhage was noted thereafter.

Abelacimab Stops Bleeding, But Stroke Impact Uncertain

CardiacWire

Current guidelines recommend direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for AF because they reduce ischemic stroke with a lower risk of brain hemorrhage. By inhibiting Factor XI (an anticoagulation enzyme), drugs like abelacimab potentially prevent thrombosis without increasing spontaneous bleeding risks.

Abstract TP180: Characteristics and Outcomes of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Associated With COVID-19

Stroke Journal

Background:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases the risk of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), and previous reports derived from small case series reported a high mortality in these patients, up to 40%. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP180-ATP180, February 1, 2024.

Abstract TP201: Factors associated with development of venous thromboembolism in patients with intracranial hemorrhage.

Stroke Journal

Background:Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are known to have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than patients with acute ischemic stroke, but the factors underlying this difference have not been clearly identified. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP201-ATP201, February 1, 2025.

Introduction:Seizures are a common initial manifestation of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Risk factors included intracranial hemorrhage (OR 2.0 Variables with P-value < 0.2 were included in the backward stepwise regression model with 0.2 Delayed seizures occurred in 37 (6.1%) patients. p=0.196), alcohol abuse (OR 3.88

Abstract 117: Digitally Subtracted Angiogram & Biopsy Negative Recurrent Spontaneous Bilateral Anterior Cerebral Artery Territory Intracranial Hemorrhage

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionUp to 18% of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages are cryptogenic despite a thorough workup, usually noted in a lobar location. CT revealed a left parasagittal hemorrhage. The patient was diagnosed with ACA territory stroke complicated by PH2‐type hemorrhagic conversion. CT revealed a right parasagittal hemorrhage.
