Teaser

Stroke is the clinical syndrome of abrupt onset of acute neurologic deficit owing to decreased oxygen delivery to the brain, resulting in ischemia or infarction. Approximately 87% of strokes are ischemic and 13% are hemorrhagic. Improved awareness of the neuroimaging findings highlighted in recent stroke clinical trials, as well as of their role in patient selection for novel treatment options—including "late window" (8-24 hours post-ictus!) intraarterial thrombectomy—has become increasingly important. This article focuses on the role of neuroimaging in the assessment and management of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
