"Thrombus in the Brachiocephalic Trunk in Patient with Bovine Aortic Arch Variation Mimics a Stroke or Multiple Sclerosis"

Abstract

Embolism is mostly associated with arterial rather than venous injury, and with neuronal infarction rather than waste of myelin. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with difficult differential diagnosis. MS and stroke have general risk factors. The immune mechanisms of stroke are similar to neurodegenerative diseases and are adjunct to neuroinflammation.
