BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The accuracy of diagnosing acute cerebrovascular disease via a teleneurology service and the characteristics of misdiagnosed patients are insufficiently known.

CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Teleneurological consultations are accurate for identifying patients with CVD, and there is a very low rate of missed candidates for thrombolysis. Apart from a lower prevalence of ischemic heart disease, characteristics of "stroke chameleons" were similar to those of correctly identified CVD patients.
