IV thrombolysis for stroke improves outcomes when given within 9 hours. Requires rapid imaging, specialist input, and strict eligibility criteria
Lateral medullary (Wallenberg) syndrome is a rare brainstem stroke due to vertebral or PICA occlusion, presenting with vertigo, dysphagia, and cranial nerve signs.
Basilar artery stroke is a severe posterior circulation infarction. Early recognition and timely thrombolysis or clot retrieval are key to improving outcomes.
