Clinical Distinction of Cerebral Ischemia and Triaging of Patients in the Emergency Department: Mimics, Wake-ups, Late Strokes, and Chameleons.

Non-stroke conditions may present in ways suggestive of ischemic stroke (ie, stroke mimic). Alternatively, the clinical presentation of ischemic stroke can vary considerably and may appear similar to another condition (ie, stroke chameleon). Common and uncommon mimics and chameleons are presented with discussion of key considerations to improve diagnostic accuracy.
