Follow-up and outcome section
Within 7 days after the initiation of the treatment regimen, the NIHSS
score improved to 3 points, with remaining signs and symptoms of partial
hemianopsia, hemiataxia, and mild central facial nerve palsy. The
modified Rankin scale score (mRS) was 1 point. A control MRI was
performed on the 10th day after stroke, which indicated a significant
decrease of the ischemic area and cerebral edema zone (Figure 2).
