Endovascular Thrombectomy in Wake-Up Stroke and Stroke with Unknown Symptom Onset. [PDF]
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol, 2018 Mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours of symptom onset is effective and safe. However, in many patients, information on the beginning of symptoms is not available. Patients can be divided into those with wake-up stroke and daytime-unwitnessed stroke.

Wake-up stroke: From pathophysiology to management
Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2019 Wake-up strokes (WUS) are strokes with unknown exact time of onset as they are noted on awakening by the patients. They represent 20% of all ischemic strokes. The chronobiological pattern of ischemic stroke onset, with higher frequency in the first morning hours, is likely to be associated with circadian fluctuations in blood pressure, heart rate ...

Thrombolysis for Wake-Up Stroke Versus Non-Wake-Up Unwitnessed Stroke: EOS Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
StrokeBACKGROUND: Stroke with unknown time of onset can be categorized into 2 groups; wake-up stroke (WUS) and unwitnessed stroke with an onset time unavailable for reasons other than wake-up (non–wake-up unwitnessed stroke, non-WUS). We aimed to assess potential differences in the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT)

Treating Patients With ‘Wake-Up’ Stroke [PDF]
Stroke, 2008 Background and Purpose— Approximately 10% to 20% of patients with a new stroke have symptoms present on awakening (wake-up stroke), but these persons are not treated with interventions to restore perfusion because the time of onset is not known.
