AB A  60-year-old  man  with  a  history  of  hypertension  and  hyperlipidemia  presents  to  the  emergency  department  24  hours  after  the  onset  of  right-sided  face,  arm,  and  leg  weakness.  At  the  time  of  presentation,  the  patient  believes  his  symptoms  are  significantly  improved  since  onset.  His  physical  examination  is  notable  for  a  mild  right  facial  droop  and  a  right  arm  pronator  drift.  A  noncontrast  head  computed  tomography  (CT)  scan  is  performed  that  shows  a  subtle  focus  of  hypodensity  within  the  left  frontal  lobe  and  no  evidence  of  hemorrhage  (Figure  25-1).
