DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2018.01.032
Abstract: OBJECTIVES The acute-onset of migrainuos aura (MA) can be erroneously diagnosed in Emergency Department (ED) as acute stroke (AS) and it can be classified as "stroke mimic" (SM). Perfusion computer tomography (PCT) may be useful… read more here.

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is never considered the aetiology of focal neurological symptoms or in the differential of stroke-like symptoms. Although it is a risk factor for stroke and can produce global neurological symptoms, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/str.51.suppl_1.tp243
Abstract: Background: Stroke mimic (SM) is a common diagnosis in stroke assessment in our medical emergency systems. The diagnosis of SM requires an expertise neurological exam and probably support it by radiological tests. Different frequency of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1747493018806194
Abstract: Background Patients with a sudden onset of focal neurological deficits consistent with stroke, who turn out to have alternative conditions, have been labeled stroke mimics. Aims We assessed a recently validated telemedicine-based stroke mimic score… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.831218
Abstract: Differentiating stroke from stroke mimics is a diagnostic challenge in every day practice. Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is an important stroke mimic with nonspecific symptomatology, making prompt and accurate diagnosis challenging. Baseline neuroimaging plays… read more here.
