Reversible CT Scan Hypodensity in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient With Low Initial Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) Following Endovascular Thrombectomy: A Case Report.

According to current American and European guidelines, mechanical thrombectomy is recommended only for patients with an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 6 or higher. However, recent literature suggests that the potential benefits of reperfusion therapy should not be solely determined by baseline ASPECTS. In this case report, we present a young female patient with a low initial ASPECTS (4-5), who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and showed marked improvement in both CT imaging and clinical symptoms.
