Introduction: Iron-dependent formation of reactive oxygen species has been implicated in the development of vasospasm (VSP) and neuronal injury following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We report the association between unbound (“free”) iron in CSF of SAH patients and the risk of angiographic vasospasm and cerebral infarcts (CI) on neuroimaging from a recently completed pilot study. Methods: Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were obtained on days 1, 3, and 5. A fluorometric assay that relies on an oxidation sensitive probe was used to measure redox active iron (REDOX-Fe). Ceruloplasmin (Cp) concentration and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation were also measured. We prospectively collected and recorded demographic, clinical, and radiological data. Logistic regression and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test were used. Results: Five of 12 patients developed angiographic VSP (41.6%) and eight developed CI (66.6%). Mean REDOX-Fe was higher in patients with CI (3.96 ± 0.97 Vs. 2.77 ± 0.87 mcg/dl, p 0.07), particularly in patients with deep-seated strokes (4.56 ± 0.67 Vs. 3.35 ± 0.89, p 0.03). Levels of Cp at day 3 were lower in patients with deep strokes (34,092 ± 23,780 Vs. 86,045 ± 34,752 ng/ml, p 0.03). A trend towards higher REDOX-Fe on day 3 in patients who developed VSP (4.52 ± 1.16 Vs. 2.96 ± 0.71, p 0.07), and lower Cp levels on day 5 (45,033 ± 29,079 Vs. 63,044 ± 24,821, p 0.1) was found. Levels of MDA were higher in patients who developed CI (10.36 ± 4.36 Vs. 5.9 ± 4.2 nmol, p 0.08). Conclusions: In this preliminary study we found higher concentrations of redox active iron in CSF of SAH patients who develop deep-seated CI on neuroimaging. Evidence of increased oxidative damage correlated with development of CI. A possible association between non-protein bound iron and angiographic VSP is suggested as well. Ceruloplasmin may exert a protective effect in this setting. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Infantile spasms are an age-specific seizure disorder that occur in infants with no known underlying disorder or prior neurologic insult (cryptogenic group) as well as in infants with a variety of genetic disorders or known prior neurologic insult (symptomatic group).1-8 The presence of infantile spasms is associated with a high incidence of developmental retardation (87%)3 even in previously normal infants.3,5-7 Although there are many contradictory studies, it is generally believed that the infants in the symptomatic group, especially those with abnormal findings on neurologic examination prior to the onset of the seizures, have a significantly higher incidence of mental retardation and epilepsy than the infants in the cryptogenic group.1-9

It is important to investigate the clinical characteristics and identify the stroke mechanisms of patients with autoimmune disease-related stroke, which are necessary for early etiology diagnosis, accurate treatment and preventive strategies. In this article we retrospectively studied eight cases of acute ischemic stroke associated with autoimmune diseases, and without competing conventional stroke etiologies. The characteristics of stroke (clinical and radiological features), the laboratory tests especially serum D-dimer levels (as a marker of hypercoagulable state), and embolic signals on transcranial Doppler were evaluated for all eight patients. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI), which can help to evaluate vasculitis was performed in four patients. The possible underlying mechanisms of these cases were discussed based on these manifestations. As a result, autoimmune diseases in our study included systemic lupus erythematosus ( n=5), mixed connective tissue disease ( n=1), central nervous system vasculitis ( n=1), and Takayasu arteritis ( n=1). All eight patients presented with acute infarction lesions in ≥2 vascular territories. Most patients presented with numerous small and medium infarction lesions located in the cortical and subcortical areas. Multiple stroke mechanisms were involved in these cases, including hypercoagulability ( n=4), cardiac embolism ( n=1) and vasculitis ( n=3). Embolic signals could be detected on transcranial Doppler in all three stroke mechanisms. In conclusion, our study revealed the characteristics of autoimmune disease-related stroke. For patients with multiple acute cerebral infarcts within non-single arterial territories, autoimmune disease is an important etiology not to be neglected. Multiple stroke mechanisms were involved in these cases.
