Common Questions and Answers about Acute stroke ct

Furthermore, psychotic episodes may be an acute change like that seen in delirium, stroke, or seizure. Depending on the complete history, including family history, associated symptoms, and clinical examination, imaging findings will likely be in different anatomical locations.
As a general rule, MRI is better for looking at anatomy and for pathological conditions (e.g.
Rapid assessment of acute ischemia is critical for the management of acute stroke patiens who may benefit from thrombolytics or neuroprotective therapeutics. Differentiation of acute from chronic stroke, which may all appear hyperintense on T2- Weighted Imaging(T2WI ), is essential in determining the management of patiens.
they stated that my medicine levels were within therapeutic range but that I was okay sent me home three days later had a super bad headache my right eye was twitching like crazy and started to drooping also my tounge was still numb and felt weird called the neurologist she sent me to the ER to be checked for stroke symptoms, they did a CT scan and it stated this below do these findings meant some point I have had a stroke....

My mother suffered an acute subdural hematoma after falling down the stairs, hitting her head. She had surgery to drain the blood within a 2 hour window.
Her recovery was outstanding at first, and was sent home a week later. She seemed to be pretty close to 100% mentally - able to carry on inteligent conversations with no problems.
All of a sudden a couple days after she had been taken home, she began to be unable to "spit out" what she was trying to say.
Hi,
The CT scan is indicated to show prior strokes, bleeds, or signs of acute stroke. Transient ischemic attacks do not usually cause permanent damage in the brain as in stroke. Specialized MRI techniques (perfusion/diffusion imaging) can show changes with this condition. Talk to your doctor about controlling your blood pressure. A low salt diet is highly recommended.
Take care and keep us posted.
My father has COPD and one month ago due to brain stroke (stroke cover his right side) he got paralyses in LHS. Suddenly his COPD attack increases and he put in to artificial ventilation. but within 32 hours he got out of it. After that he lives nicely but every 2-3 days he got spazum and needed to give oxygen supply with bipap. Doctor (Chest Specialist) was always telling that his lungs are weak but not that much which causes frequent spasm.
I was curious if the standard, acute treatment for a hemorrhagic stroke included an emergency vent shunt.
My sixty one year old father suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke 10 months ago. He received a CT scan upon arrival at the emergency room where they determined he had a hemorrhagic stroke. At that point he was considered a 3 on the Glasgow coma scale.
Do you know if a MRA was requested? I, too was given a CT Scan when expierencing stroke symptoms. The CT Scan came back clear and I was sent home with a diagnosis of "Migrains with neuological side effects."
I suffered an acute ischemic stroke 2 weeks later. The stroke affected my cerabellum, brain stem and the right side of my brain. An MRA and MRI was done when hospitalized. The MRA will show the ateries, blood vessels and aortas.
Sir my mother recently admitted to hospital with recent CT scan report showing the impressions of 'Old lacunar infarct in left corona radiata' & 'Acute nonhemorrhagic left perisylvian and deep frontal white matter infarct (MCA territory). She had a mild stroke 4 years before on the right side and she is visiting the hospital every 1 or 2 months regularly to physician and he use to suggest the warf, etc.
During attacks of complicated migraine the patient develops symptoms similar to those of stroke so it becomes very important to differentiate between the two by neurological exam, CT scan and MRI.
Since your mother has undergone these tests and results have been negative for stroke the diagnosis of complicated migraine becomes very likely.
Acute attacks of migraine are followed by dull headache which can last for many days at a stretch.

Hello,
I'm writing on behalf of my sister, who has been experiencing a series of puzzling health problems following a recent brain stroke. Despite multiple visits to doctors, we haven't been able to pinpoint the cause or find effective treatments. I'm hoping to gather insights or suggestions from this community.
Here are some key details about her situation:
- Low ferritin levels (3.5 ng/ml)
- Low transferrin saturation (4.4%)
- Low iron (18.
Clinically, it is important to differentiate between the ischemic and hemorrhagic types of stroke. In diagnosis, use CT scans and MRI to assess the location and severity of the stroke. In application of acupuncture therapy, it is crucial to determine the gravity of the disease (whether it is an attack on the zang-fu organs or on the meridians and luo-eonnecting channels), the current stage of the disease (onset.
Remember that while emergency rooms are the appropriate choice for an acute situation like stroke symptoms, that you then should follow up with your primary care doctor or a neurologist after. We recommend you see a pcp or neurologist now which it does sound like you've had some follow up to discuss lack of feeling in your toe. Here is some general information on TIA's. https://www.webmd.com/stroke/what-is-tia#1
How exactly did they diagnose you with a TIA?
