#MondayTip #Basilar artery occlusions: ☝️Proximal/mid occlusions: atherothrombotic. Unilateral/crossed pontine syndromes to ‘‘locked-in’’ ☝️Distal occlusions: most cardioembolic. Top of the basilar syndrome (dependins on length and position of the clot and on collateral flow)

#MondayTip #Seizure prophylaxis after ICH 📈Up to 1/3 of ICH patients develop acute seizures, often electrographic only 📜Guidelines currently do not recommend routine #prophylaxis 🎯Modeling+early RCTs suggest future lies in #personalized, short-duration, risk-guided prophylaxis

#MondayTip #BloodPressure management in Acute Ischemic Stroke ☝️Stability > aggressiveness 🚑Pre-reperfusion: #tolerate high BP (<185/110 if IVT, <220/120 if no reperfusion). 💉Post-reperfusion: #avoid intensive lowering, safer range is ~140–180 mmHg 🆓doi.org/10.1007/s11910…
