The Stroke Patient Who Woke Up
Stroke 33:988-993, Fink,J.N.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Onset time is uncertain in over one quarter of acute ischemic stroke patients. Clinical features of these patients do not differ significantly from those with known onset time. Some patients who wake with stroke seem to have favorable imag ing characteristics for acute stroke therapy. Further study is needed to determine whether criteria for therapy based on imaging parameters can safely be applied to these patients.
