Stroke Chameleons
- Stroke chameleons are atypical presentations of stroke and are associated with delays in diagnoses and failure to administer intervention when otherwise indicated
- Maintaining a diagnosis of stroke on the differential is paramount to being able to diagnose a chameleon. Characteristics of chameleons that we most frequently miss are:
- Atypical presentations (we miss 4% of typical vs 64% of atypical)
- Strokes in the young
- Cerebellar strokes
