title: The essential can be invisible to the eyes: the "fogging effect" phenomenon in the subacute stage of ischemic stroke.
abstract: Cerebral infarcts can be overlooked or grossly underestimated in the second and third week after an ischemic stroke. We report a patient who presented with a vanishing stroke on a follow-up brain computed tomography scan, a condition known as the "fogging effect" phenomenon.
