Abstract
Our stroke mimic scoring system along with a basic neurologic examination could be a useful tool in the identification of stroke mimics with a high specificity in the emergency room setting. These patients may require further studies such as rapid magnetic resonance imaging, which would decrease unnecessary tPA administration and hospital admissions.
