CTA head and neck were obtained and showed no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, large vessel occlusion stroke (what a helpful and apt name for an acute arterial occlusion paradigm, by the way.), Vital signs were within normal limits on arrival to the Emergency Department. Blood glucose was not low at 162 mg/dL. or basilar ischemia.
