Rheumatoid meningitis presenting with stroke-like episodes [PDF]
Neurology, 2014 Neurologic symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are most often caused by osseous compression, affecting the cervical spine or peripheral neurologic structures. CNS involvement in RA is infrequent, consisting of CNS vasculitis or meningitis with or without meningeal nodules.(1) When meningeal infiltration is seen, symptoms of presentation

Systemic Sarcoidosis Presenting with Headache and Stroke-Like Episodes [PDF]
Case Reports in Immunology, 2015 Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder. Neurological manifestations as a presenting symptom are relatively rare. A 26-year-old male presented with a five-week history of headache suggestive of raised intracranial pressure. He subsequently developed transient episodes of mild right-sided hemiparesis and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging (

MELAS with multiple stroke‐like episodes due to the variant m.13513G>A in MT‐ND5
Clinical Case Reports, 2022 Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke‐like episodes (MELAS) is characterized by metabolic stroke, seizures, cognitive decline, lactic acidosis, ragged‐red fibers, headache, and vomiting, and in 80% of cases due to the mtDNA variant m ...

Stroke and Stroke-like Episodes in Muscle Disease [PDF]
The Open Neurology Journal, 2012 Though not obvious at a first glance, myopathies may be associated with ischemic stroke. Stroke-like episodes resemble ischemic stroke only to some extent but are a unique feature of certain mitochondrial disorders with a pathogenesis at variance from that of ischemic stroke.

Clinicoradiologic Criteria for the Diagnosis of Stroke-like Episodes in MELAS
Neurology Genetics, 2023 Stroke-like episodes (SLEs) in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome are often misdiagnosed as acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to determine unique clinical and neuroimaging features for SLEs and formulate diagnostic criteria.We retrospectively identified patients with MELAS ...

The utility of “heart sign” on neuroimaging in acute-onset quadriparesis: A series of three cases
Apollo Medicine, 2021 The “heart sign” is a well-described radiological sign in bilateral medial medullary infarction, which is a rare stroke syndrome. It has also been rarely reported in infarction of bilateral paramedian pons and caudal paramedian midbrain.
