Stroke vs. status epilepticus. A case report utilizing CT perfusion
Abstract
Strokes and seizures have varied presentations and their differentiation may be challenging for both primary care physicians and neurologists. We present a case of a patient evaluated for acute ischemic stroke. Status epilepticus was eventually diagnosed by utilizing CT-perfusion study and EEG.
