Subsequent Subarachnoid Hemorrhage from Clinically Unrelated Vertebral Artery Dissection after Thrombolytic Therapy.

Thrombolysis administration poses certain safety issues in ischemic stroke patients with cerebrovascular changes that are vulnerable to hemorrhage. Furthermore, the lack of related studies has resulted in an unclear understanding of thrombolysis safety in ischemic stroke patients with intracranial dissection, including those involving the vertebral artery. This study describes a case of a 59-year-old female who developed subarachnoid hemorrhage from clinically unrelated vertebral artery dissection after thrombolysis.

Characteristics of Perfusion Computed Tomography Imaging in Patients with Seizures Mimicking Acute Stroke.

Introduction: Seizures as acute stroke mimics are a diagnostic challenge.

Objective: The aim of the study was to characterize the perfusion patterns on perfusion computed tomography (PCT) in patients with seizures masquerading as acute stroke.

Methods: We conducted a study on patients with acute seizures as stroke mimics.
