Potential Clinical and Radiographic Horizontal Gaze Deviation an Early Sign of Stroke

The recent article from Jiang et al “Degree of Conjugate Gaze Deviation on CT Predicts Proximal Vessel Occlusion and May Expedite Endovascular Therapy,” Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease 2019; 28:1093-10981 provides valuable information that may lead to early stroke intervention. They found that radiographic horizontal gaze deviation (h-CGD) detected by CTA is frequently associated with a proximal arterial occlusion (either ICA or proximal segments of the MCA); the h-CGD was always ipsilesional.
