Differential diagnosis of ischemic stroke in the arteries of the vertebrobasilar system
https://doi.org/10.14412/2074-2711-2023-5-13-19
Abstract
Stroke in the arteries of the vertebrobasilar system is characterized by a variety of nonspecific symptoms, many mimickers, and often atypical clinical presentation, which, together with the low sensitivity of CT and MRI of the brain, leads to incorrect and untimely diagnosis. This article addresses in detail the issues of differential diagnosis of this disease with Guillain–Barre syndrome, myasthenic crisis, central pontine myelinolysis, multiple sclerosis, Wernicke encephalopathy, vestibular neuronitis, Meniere's disease, and vestibular migraine.
