hat can be more frustrating for physicians (and, of course, for their patients) than deterioration during treatment?Expectations are high that patients will get better when they come to the hospital, not get worse.Unfortunately, worsening is a common occurrence in patients with brain ischemia despite present treatment.In this issue of Stroke, Steinke and Ley show that, among their stroke patients, worsening of motor function, a very important component of disability, was most common among those who had lacunar strokes.

L.R. Caplan (2002) conducted an editorial in Ischemic stroke. Lacunar stroke subtype vs. Non-lacunar stroke subtypes was evaluated on Worsening of motor function. Lacunar stroke was the stroke subtype most commonly associated with worsening of motor function during treatment among patients with brain ischemia.
