摘要
Posterior strokes are frequently misdiagnosed as they present with non-specific complaints such as dizziness/ vertigo. Emergency department (ED) practice often relies on CT/CTA to "exclude" infarct in such patients, providing false reassurance due to lower sensitivity of CT (42%) for stroke in the posterior circulation. We describe a pilot at our institution using a specialized MRI protocol with 95% sensitivity for posterior stroke, which may be used in place of CT/CTA or conventional MRI for stroke evaluation. Further development of this approach may help reduce the high rate of missed posterior stroke in patients presenting with dizziness.
