Distinguishing between stroke and mimic at the bedside: the brain attack study.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Embolic complications during ultrasound examinations are a rare cause of neurological deficits. The present case documents the occurrence of embolism by a nonobstructive compression maneuver during transcranial Doppler examination, resulting in a minor stroke. CASE DESCRIPTION:A 63-year-old man ...
