Case presentation and discussion of stroke mimics at the lunchtime meeting. Can't remember the exact details of the case but it was someone presenting with acute ischaemic stroke being considered from thrombolysis - the learning point was "but what about those conditions that may present as stroke but are not?"
There was a nice presentation about the different presentations and how they may be differentiated clinically.
This is an important issue. [1-3]
Found a good summary lecture online - Stroke Differential Diagnosis - Mimics and Chameleons.
