ELAN trial post-hoc analysis: Early DOAC treatment after ischemic strokes was not associated with a higher rate of adverse events, especially sICH, regardless of infarct size group. Persons with major stroke seem to benefit most (OR 0.52 (0.21 to 1.18)). ja.ma/45TrYEj

Lateral medullary syndrome may not be seen well on the initial MRI within 24-48 hours from symptoms. A full neurological exam including temperature sensation on face/limbs, looking for Horner, and hiccups are clues that should trigger a repeat MRI. #stroke #meded #NeuroTwitter
