چکیده
Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Treatment efficacy highly time-dependent. Approximately 20% acute ischaemic occurs in the posterior circulation. Clinical presentation circulation subtle. Diagnosis often delayed frequently missed. CT perfusion has improved diagnostic accuracy been integral to guiding therapy patients with anterior stroke. There are limited studies assessing role This review provides reference for interpretation summarises current evidence relating applications
