Mri showed damage consistent with stroke but only symptoms is sudden onset delirium not uti docs unsure if it is stroke4 day delay doing mri opinions?

Cause of delirium: Certainly a UTI can cause delirium -as the infection throws off the body's balance. A stroke too could cause altered mental status, depending on what part of the brain was affected and whatever other metabolic effects might be going on in that dramatic disease presentation. MRIs are extremely sensitive for stroke. Urine tests are good but have to be interpreted correctly. Try a second opinion here

A stroke: can cause a variety of symptoms, including confusion, depending on the part of the brain involved. A 4 day "delay" in getting an MRI would not matter as far as being able to diagnose an acute or subacute stroke: the MRI is very sensitive for diagnosing a stroke, and the abnormality does not resolve.
