Thrombolysis, the only currently available treatment for
ischemic stroke can be administered only in a narrow
time window of 4.5 hours. A significant number of
patients have an unknown time of onset as the stroke
occurred during their sleep, which disqualifies them for
thrombolysis. The objective of this study was to
determine whether 1H MRS of the ischemic striatum could
provide useful information on the estimation of the
onset time of cerebral ischemia.
