Thalamic hyperintensity in seizure stroke mimic.









Acute aphasia is one of the most common forms of presentation of stroke mimics. Many times those patients are having seizures. When there’s a suspicion of a stroke mimic, MRI is better than multiparametric CT on the differential diagnosis. In some patients, we can see a thalamic hyperintensity ipsilateral to the hemisphere with ictal activity.
