ABSTRACT
Early neurological deterioration following stroke is quiet common and is associated with significant morbidity. Etiology for stroke is very well understood, whereas etiology behind neurological worsening is not clear and is different. In our study we found posterior circulation infarct, left hemisphere & bihemispheric infarct are associated with significant neurological worsening. Our study also demonstrated that large artery disease and cardioembolic mechanisms are associated with neurological worsening in the acute phase of stroke.
