Acute Ischemic Stroke or Epileptic Seizure? Yield of CT Perfusion in a "Code Stroke" Situation [FUNCTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS:
CTP patterns helped to differentiate acute ischemic stroke from epileptic seizure in a "code stroke" situation. Our results indicate that a hyperperfusion pattern, especially if not restricted to a vascular territory, may suggest reconsideration of intravenous thrombolysis therapy.
