MR Imaging-Based Decision in Thrombolytic Therapy for Stroke on Awakening: Report of 2 Cases
AJRN 29:1314-1316, Iosif,C.,et al., 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Patients with stroke on awakening are denied the potential benefit of thrombolysis on the grounds that the onset time is unknown. Relying on clinical and MR imaging to indicate the most appropriate treatment could be more rational. We report 2 cases of stroke with unknown onset time. In both cases, anamnesis and MR imaging indicated that we might still be within 6 hours from stroke onset, with salvageable tissue. Arterial recanalization was successfully performed in both cases.
