Ischemic stroke patients whose initial clinical presentation suggests an involvement of the anterior circulation (AC) are sometimes found to have a posterior circulation (PC) infarct, a fact that may generate erroneous decisions in clinical management. We investigated the prevalence of this misdiagnosis in the first few hours after stroke onset.

Abstract

Ischemic stroke patients whose initial clinical presentation suggests an involvement of the anterior circulation (AC) are sometimes found to have a posterior circulation (PC) infarct, a fact that may generate erroneous decisions in clinical management. We investigated the prevalence of this misdiagnosis in the first few hours after stroke onset.
