1) Welcome to a #tweetorial on how to optimize therapy for secondary #stroke prevention. Accredited for 0.50 credits! I am your host @stephanamayer. Be sure to see prior tweetorials in the broader cardiometabolic space and earn more CE/#CME credit at cardiometabolic-ce.com 
1/ 42 yo patient presents with 3 hours of left hemiparesis found to have right M1 thrombus. Platelets are 24,000/uL!

2/ 🚨Goals for the scroll:
✅Discuss a rare cause of acute ischemic stroke
✅ Review thrombectomy safety w thrombocytopenia (tcp)
✅Review dx and pathophys of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
✅Review the treatment of TTP

3/ Our patient with plt of 24,000 /uL is taken for #thrombectomy. Would you send your pt w/ severe thrombocytopenia for thrombectomy?
1/ A trainee approached me re: a "hypothetical" case. A patient p/w acute weakness 90 min after onset of R arm/leg without other neuro deficits. The neurology consultant advised IV tPA after CT/CTA head and neck showed no hemorrhage (and also no LVO). The ED attending balked.
2/ Trainee's ?: Can you have a stroke with only motor involvement? Can you have a stroke that causes weakness of the arm and leg, but not the face?... a short tweetorial
3/ C. Miller Fisher described several lacunar stroke syndromes, including pure motor hemiparesis (PMH). He found the most common anatomical locations responsible for PMH (based on autopsy studies) to be the internal capsule and basis pontis. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
1/ Alright, #Neurotwitter, the votes for today’s #neuroDDxThursday were overwhelmingly in favor of multiple cranial neuropathies!
Thought about one slide, but this needs a #tweetorial! So that you aren't 😬😬😬 when confronted with this:

Reminder: The 12 cranial nerve nuclei are located in the brainstem, and if you have trouble remembering where they are, welcome to the club. Here’s a reminder! Will post the medulla section Monday, stay tuned.

We’ll move from central to peripheral etiologies.
The brainstem is like Times Square in NYC- so much going on in a very small space.
A small insult can easily cause damage to multiple cranial nerves. amiright, #stroketwitter?
