Brain Imaging Findings and Response to Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Circulation Stroke

ConclusionsEarly ischaemic signs and pre-existing structural signs should be considered during the assessment of patients with PCIS eligible for IVT. Tissue hypoattenuation on initial CT scans correlates with an increased risk of death. Similarly to anterior circulation, atrophy on initial MRI may negatively predict good clinical outcome in posterior circulation.
