Abstract

Wake-up stroke (WUS) represents 25% of all ischemic strokes. There is conflicting evidence concerning clinical severity, imaging characteristics, and outcome when WUS is compared with stroke of known time of onset. Our aim was to compare WUS patients with patients with ischemic stroke within the therapeutic window (STW) for thrombolysis.
