Stroke Mimics in the Acute Setting: Role of Multimodal CT Protocol [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS:
Multimodal CT demonstrated low sensitivity but high specificity in the diagnosis of stroke mimics in the acute setting. The high specificity of multimodal CT allows ruling out stroke and thereby avoiding unnecessary revascularization treatment in patients with diagnosis of a stroke mimic.
