Role of Radiological Eye Deviation in Imaging Occult Cases of Acute Large Vessel Occlusion

The recent article from McCluskey et al “Radiological Eye Deviation as a Predictor of Large Vessel Occlusion in Acute Ischaemic Stroke” J of Stroke and Cerebrovasc Dis. 2019; 28:2318-23231 provides valuable information that may lead to early stroke intervention. They found that subjective visual detection of radiographic eye deviation on nonenhanced computed tomography (NECT) brain is strongly associated with large vessel occlusion (LVO). This compelling association may expedite patients for timely angiographic testing and endovascular therapy.
