Question 1Transient ischaemic attackEasy

A 67-year-old man develops sudden right arm weakness and expressive dysphasia lasting 20 minutes. He is now asymptomatic. Capillary glucose is normal, there is no head injury or bleeding history, and intracranial haemorrhage is not suspected. What is the most appropriate immediate management?

  1. AGive aspirin 300 mg now and arrange specialist assessment within 24 hours
  2. BCalculate an ABCD2 score and refer only if the score is high
  3. CWithhold antiplatelet treatment until outpatient brain MRI is completed
  4. DStart therapeutic low-molecular-weight heparin while awaiting carotid imaging
  5. EReassure him and arrange a routine neurology appointment within six weeks
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A Give aspirin 300 mg now and arrange specialist assessment within 24 hours

Sudden right arm weakness and expressive dysphasia that resolves completely within 20 minutes is a suspected TIA in the left carotid territory. The risk of stroke is highest in the first few days, so speed matters. NICE NG128 recommends aspirin 300 mg immediately, unless there is a contraindication: a bleeding disorder, anticoagulation, or suspicion of intracranial haemorrhage, in which case imaging comes first. It also recommends referral for specialist assessment within 24 hours of symptom onset. NICE advises against using risk scores such as ABCD2 to decide who is seen urgently, because everyone with a suspected TIA should be seen within 24 hours. The specialist assessment usually includes MRI (diffusion-weighted imaging), urgent carotid imaging, ECG and rhythm monitoring for atrial fibrillation, and vascular risk factors. Secondary prevention follows: antiplatelet therapy, statin, blood pressure control, and carotid endarterectomy if there is significant symptomatic stenosis. He should not drive for at least 1 month.

Key clue
A sudden focal neurological deficit has completely resolved and haemorrhage is not suspected.
What it means
This is a suspected TIA requiring immediate secondary prevention and urgent assessment.
What to do
Give aspirin 300 mg immediately and arrange specialist assessment within 24 hours.

Why the other options are less appropriate

  • B NICE advises against using ABCD2 to decide urgency. Everyone with a suspected TIA should be seen within 24 hours.
  • C Haemorrhage is not suspected, so aspirin should not wait for an outpatient MRI.
  • D Therapeutic heparin is not routine treatment for TIA. It risks bleeding without proven benefit unless there is another indication.
  • E A routine appointment at 6 weeks misses the period when the risk of stroke is highest.

Question 2Wake-up strokeHard

A 64-year-old man awakens with aphasia and right hemiparesis. He was last known well 9 hours ago. Non-enhanced CT excludes haemorrhage; CT angiography shows a proximal left middle cerebral artery occlusion. He was previously independent. What is the most appropriate next step?

  1. AExclude reperfusion because the exact symptom-onset time is unknown
  2. BGive routine intravenous thrombolysis solely because the deficit was noticed on waking
  3. CObtain urgent perfusion or diffusion imaging and refer for imaging-selected reperfusion
  4. DStart aspirin and postpone vascular treatment until a 24-hour repeat scan
  5. EUse the admission NIHSS score alone to decide whether thrombectomy is appropriate
Show answer and explanation

Answer: C Obtain urgent perfusion or diffusion imaging and refer for imaging-selected reperfusion

In a wake-up stroke, onset is timed from when he was last known well, here 9 hours ago. That is outside the standard thrombolysis window, but not outside treatment. CT angiography shows a proximal anterior-circulation occlusion, so NICE NG128 supports thrombectomy between 6 and 24 hours after he was last known well. It applies when perfusion CT or diffusion-weighted MRI shows a small core of established infarction and a larger area of salvageable brain, and he was functionally independent before. Advanced imaging therefore decides treatment, not the clock alone. Refer urgently to the thrombectomy centre while the imaging is done or reviewed. Some services also give thrombolysis to selected wake-up strokes, within 4.5 hours of waking, when MRI shows a diffusion–FLAIR mismatch. That is an imaging decision, not an automatic one. Aspirin is held until haemorrhage is excluded after any reperfusion treatment.

Key clue
Wake-up deficit, last known well 9 hours ago, proximal anterior-circulation occlusion and no haemorrhage.
What it means
Late-window reperfusion eligibility depends on advanced imaging evidence of salvageable tissue.
What to do
Obtain urgent perfusion or diffusion imaging and refer immediately for imaging-selected reperfusion.

Why the other options are less appropriate

  • A An unknown onset time does not rule out reperfusion. Imaging can show salvageable brain up to 24 hours after last known well.
  • B He is 9 hours from last known well. Thrombolysis cannot be given simply because the deficit was found on waking; it needs imaging selection.
  • D Waiting 24 hours with aspirin loses salvageable brain while the occlusion stays untreated.
  • E NIHSS shows how severe the deficit is, but not how large the infarct core is or how much tissue can be saved.

Question 3Secondary prevention after ischaemic strokeMedium

A 66-year-old woman has recovered from a non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke. Prolonged rhythm monitoring shows no atrial fibrillation, echocardiography shows no cardiac thrombus, and there is no other indication for anticoagulation. Which long-term prevention strategy is most appropriate?

  1. AUse antiplatelet therapy with intensive management of lipids, blood pressure and lifestyle risk
  2. BUse warfarin routinely because all previous strokes require anticoagulation
  3. CCombine long-term aspirin, clopidogrel and warfarin for maximal protection
  4. DStop antithrombotic therapy once the neurological deficit has resolved
  5. EUse anticoagulation alone and defer management of vascular risk factors
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A Use antiplatelet therapy with intensive management of lipids, blood pressure and lifestyle risk

Once atrial fibrillation, cardiac thrombus and any other reason for anticoagulation have been excluded, recurrence after ischaemic stroke is driven by platelet-mediated atherothrombosis and small-vessel disease. Long-term prevention is therefore antiplatelet therapy combined with intensive control of risk factors. The 2023 National Clinical Guideline for Stroke recommends clopidogrel 75 mg daily as first-line long-term treatment. If clopidogrel is not tolerated, aspirin with modified-release dipyridamole is used, or aspirin alone. For blood pressure, it advises a target systolic pressure below 130 mmHg for most people (with a less strict target in severe bilateral carotid stenosis). For lipids, it advises a high-intensity statin, aiming for LDL cholesterol below 1.8 mmol/L, with ezetimibe or other therapy added if needed. Lifestyle measures include stopping smoking, regular exercise, a healthy diet, moderating alcohol, and managing weight and diabetes. Anticoagulation in people without AF increases bleeding without reducing recurrence.

Key clue
Ischaemic stroke has no atrial fibrillation, cardiac thrombus or other anticoagulation indication.
What it means
This is a non-cardioembolic secondary-prevention setting.
What to do
Use antiplatelet therapy plus comprehensive vascular-risk reduction.

Why the other options are less appropriate

  • B Warfarin has no advantage over antiplatelet therapy in non-cardioembolic stroke and causes more bleeding, including intracranial haemorrhage.
  • C Long-term triple antithrombotic therapy greatly increases bleeding with no proven benefit. Dual antiplatelet therapy is used only briefly after minor stroke.
  • D Recovery of the deficit does not remove the vascular risk. Recurrence risk is highest early but continues long term.
  • E Anticoagulation is not indicated, and putting off risk-factor control would leave the main drivers of recurrence untreated.

Question 4Cerebral venous sinus thrombosisMedium

A 32-year-old woman, 10 days postpartum, develops progressive headache, a focal seizure and papilloedema. CT shows a small haemorrhagic parasagittal venous infarct. Which approach is most appropriate?

  1. APerform lumbar puncture immediately and discharge if cerebrospinal fluid is normal
  2. BAvoid anticoagulation permanently because the infarct contains haemorrhage
  3. CTreat as primary migraine and review after six weeks
  4. DObtain CT or MR venography and start therapeutic anticoagulation unless specifically contraindicated
  5. EGive aspirin alone because venous thrombosis is managed like arterial TIA
Show answer and explanation

Answer: D Obtain CT or MR venography and start therapeutic anticoagulation unless specifically contraindicated

She has three clues pointing to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. She is postpartum, which is a prothrombotic state. She has a progressive headache with papilloedema, showing raised intracranial pressure. She has a seizure with a haemorrhagic parasagittal infarct, typical of superior sagittal sinus occlusion. Plain CT is often normal or shows only indirect signs. CT or MR venography confirms that the sinus is blocked. D-dimer can be normal, so it should not be used to rule this out. The National Clinical Guideline for Stroke recommends full-dose anticoagulation, starting with heparin and then oral anticoagulation. It applies even when the infarct has bled, because the bleeding is caused by venous congestion and anticoagulation relieves it. Oral treatment usually continues for 3 to 12 months. While she is breastfeeding, LMWH and warfarin are suitable, but DOACs are generally avoided. Treat the seizure with an antiseizure medicine. If she gets worse despite anticoagulation, consider endovascular treatment or decompressive surgery.

Key clue
Postpartum progressive headache, seizure, papilloedema and a haemorrhagic parasagittal infarct.
What it means
These features indicate cerebral venous sinus thrombosis rather than primary arterial stroke.
What to do
Confirm with CT or MR venography and anticoagulate therapeutically unless contraindicated.

Why the other options are less appropriate

  • A Papilloedema with a mass lesion makes lumbar puncture unsafe before imaging. Normal CSF would not exclude venous thrombosis anyway.
  • B Bleeding into a venous infarct is caused by venous congestion. Anticoagulation treats that cause and is still recommended.
  • C A focal seizure, papilloedema and a haemorrhagic infarct are red flags. They need urgent imaging, not a migraine diagnosis.
  • E Aspirin is not an established treatment for venous thrombosis. This is a venous clot, not an arterial TIA.

Question 5Migraine with auraEasy

A 24-year-old woman sees a shimmering zigzag line that gradually expands across both visual fields over 20 minutes. It resolves completely and is followed by unilateral throbbing headache, photophobia and nausea. Neurological examination is normal. What is the most likely diagnosis?

  1. AMigraine with typical aura
  2. BRetinal artery occlusion
  3. COccipital intracerebral haemorrhage
  4. DTransient ischaemic attack
  5. EAcute angle-closure glaucoma
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A Migraine with typical aura

The key clue is a positive visual phenomenon, a shimmering zigzag line, that spreads gradually over minutes and resolves completely before a typical migraine headache. This reflects cortical spreading depression, a slow wave of neuronal depolarisation moving across the occipital cortex at a few millimetres per minute, which explains the gradual march of symptoms. Involvement of both visual fields indicates a cortical rather than a retinal cause. NICE CG150 describes typical aura as fully reversible visual, sensory and/or speech symptoms that develop gradually, with each symptom lasting at least 5 minutes and no more than 60 minutes. Motor weakness, double vision, visual symptoms in one eye only, poor balance or reduced consciousness are atypical and need further assessment. For acute treatment NICE recommends an oral triptan combined with an NSAID or paracetamol, and propranolol or topiramate for prevention; topiramate needs a pregnancy prevention programme. Migraine with aura is a contraindication to combined hormonal contraception (UKMEC 4) because of increased stroke risk.

Key clue
A positive binocular visual symptom gradually spreads, fully resolves and precedes migraine headache.
What it means
The tempo and positive reversible symptom are typical of cortical migraine aura.
What to do
Diagnose migraine with typical aura.

Why the other options are less appropriate

  • B Retinal artery occlusion causes sudden, painless, monocular loss of vision that does not spread gradually or resolve fully within minutes.
  • C Occipital haemorrhage causes a sudden, persistent field defect with headache, not a gradually spreading scintillation that resolves completely.
  • D TIA causes sudden negative symptoms such as field loss, rather than positive symptoms that spread gradually over 20 minutes.
  • E Angle-closure glaucoma causes a painful red eye, haloes and reduced acuity in one eye, not binocular spreading zigzags.
