Acute Ischemic Stroke or Epileptic Seizure? Yield of CT Perfusion in a "Code Stroke" Situation.
Abstract
The clinical differentiation between acute ischemic stroke and epileptic seizure may be challenging, and making the correct diagnosis could avoid unnecessary reperfusion therapy. We examined the accuracy of CTP in discriminating epileptic seizures from acute ischemic stroke without identified arterial occlusion.
