  • Note.—No patient in this group had a lacunar stroke. CLL indicates chronic lymphoid leukemia; IPH, intraparenchymal hemorrhage; SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage; SDH, subdural hemorrhage; HI, hemorrhagic infarct; NED, no etiology determined despite follow-up.

  • * Computed tomography time after presentation to the emergency department.

  • Comments on the character of the infarct and the most likely etiology based on imaging characteristics and clinical and follow-up data.
