Involvement of Posterior Circulation Accounts for Higher Disability in Ischemic Strokes With NIHSS ≤3 But Not With NIHSS 4−5
Symptoms that might predict unfavorable outcomes are not well captured by the available clinical instruments that are usually used to evaluate and score acute ischemic stroke at onset. When deciding on the management of minor stroke, clinicians must consider and judge all potentially disabling deficits, in addition to the pure scores of the adopted evaluation scales.
