Relevant evidence may include last-known-well information, symptom discovery, emergency calls, ambulance records, neurological examinations, NIH Stroke Scale findings, CT or MRI studies, vascular imaging, and treatment timestamps. Together, these records can reconstruct the documented sequence of events and show what information was available when treatment decisions were made. When onset is unwitnessed or occurs during sleep, the exact biological time of the stroke may remain unknown even when imaging helps determine treatment eligibility.
An ischemic stroke expert witness may consider the neurological deficit, symptom onset or last-known-well information, vascular imaging, suspected vessel occlusion, brain imaging, relevant eligibility factors, and records concerning intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy. Treatment eligibility depends on the patient’s overall clinical and imaging findings rather than a single score or time entry. In a retrospective case, the treatment course should be considered in light of the information available to the treating team and the medical evidence, guidelines, and treatment options applicable at that time.
Noncontrast CT can rapidly identify intracranial hemorrhage and may show early ischemic changes, while MRI, particularly diffusion-weighted imaging, can characterize acute ischemic injury. CT angiography and MR angiography can identify arterial occlusion, stenosis, dissection, and other vascular abnormalities, while perfusion imaging may provide information about ischemic core and potentially salvageable tissue in selected patients. The significance of each study depends on its timing, technique, and role in the treatment decision.
