Abstract:
In patients with acute stroke-like onset, many are stroke mimics (SMs). The most common cases include epilepsy, migraine, brain tumor, and metabolic disorders. Accurate identification of SMs is very important for intravenous thrombolytic therapy.It reduces unnecessary treatment and risks and avoids the delay of proper treatment.This article reviews the common SMs in venous thrombolysis and how to identify them from clinical manifestations, imaging, and scale assessment.
