The syndrome of transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis mimicking an acute stroke
ConclusionsThe decision to thrombolyse or perform an LP in HaNDL patients mimicking a stroke is difficult in the acute setting. Perfusion CT can provide misleading results and CTA may be useful in ruling out occlusion of a cerebral vessel.

Endothelial markers are associated with thrombolysis resistance in acute stroke patients
ConclusionsRecanalization after thrombolytic therapy is associated with low sTM and sEPCR levels but not with vWF levels. If corroborated in further larger studies, these findings could be helpful in the identification of patients resistant to rt‐PA thrombolysis who could benefit from a modified recanalization therapy.
