Letter by Radecki regarding article, "safety of thrombolysis in stroke mimics: results from a multicenter cohort study".
In this letter commenting on an article on the treatment of stroke mimics, the author asserts that the difficult question of the acceptable rate of misdiagnosis remains. He suggests that patients undergoing thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke have confirmatory testing such as an MRI with diffusion-weighted sequences and that the incidence of neuroimaging negative events be reported.
