These results are in line with previously published reports and indicate a high incidence of stroke mimics in patients with malignant intracranial neoplasm, even if numbers are too low for statistical analysis.6,9,10 It should also be mentioned that a similar stroke mimic with symptomatic hemorrhage of a cavernoma after IV t-PA treatment was reported by Erdur and colleagues before, which highlights the necessity of further publication of safety results in these patients.17 This evidence concerns the gene PLAT and stroke disorder.
