Cerebrovascular disease is any alteration, transitory or permanent, of one or more brain areas, as a consequence of a cerebral circulation disorder . It can be classified as ischemic, due to the interruption of the blood supply, or hemorrhagic due to the rupture of a cerebral vessel.Linked in direct proportion to hospital mortality, the frequent, numerous and above all foreseeable clinical systemic and neurological complications of the acute phase, those that generate death or neurological disability, are associated with the mass effect and the extent of the lesion. and they represent a potential barrier to the optimal recovery of the patient.
Optimizing urgent diagnostic strategies to reduce the time from the onset of stroke to therapeutic medical action, as well as providing specific treatment adapted to each subtype of stroke, etiology, location and size, and starting secondary prevention are key determinants to improve the prognosis of the ill person.
