Summary

When a patient is received with the context of acute stroke, they undergo a fast neurological evaluation and obtain a basic appraisal composed of a non-contrast endovascular cerebral scan and an angiography scan of intracranial blood vessels and the neck. Once the structural lesion (hemorrhage, tumor, etc.) is absent, signs of early infracts and confirmed acute intracranial arterial occlusion, the possibility of a pseudo-stroke dwells in the differential diagnostic.

Certain characteristics of history and clinical evaluation create sufficient doubt to evoke the possibility of a pseudo-stroke. In fact, this population is mostly female and the cardiovascular risk factors are less prevalent in this group than for the group of stroke victims. It is on average the youngest and presents a less severe deficit. For the rest, medical antecedents often help to evoke a diagnosis of pseudo-stroke.
