- Posterior circulation strokes can present as dizziness or vertigo, making them hard to detect, which can lead to worsening conditions if missed.
- The review highlights an ocular sign called ocular lateral deviation (OLD), seen during examination, particularly in dorsolateral medullary strokes.
- Detecting OLD is essential because it serves as a quick diagnostic tool for posterior circulation strokes and can lead to better patient outcomes.
