Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident)

by Carlo Raj, MD

Acute strokes, also known as cerebrovascular accidents, can be classified generally as either hemorrhagic or ischemic. The pathophysiology of an acute stroke is a loss of blood flow, leading to impaired oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, which can eventually lead to irreversible neuronal damage and clinically correlated deficits. The chances of a significant and meaningful recovery can be optimized with early and goal-directed treatment, as well as lifestyle interventions and rehabilitation programs.

The differential diagnosis of a stroke can be broad. Imaging evaluation usually starts with a non-contrast CT scan to rule out hemorrhage, guided by history and clinical examination. Prompt treatment and management are key to preserving brain tissue and maximizing the chances of recovery.

It's has really been great and productive except I had to go check Neuroanatomy because I am not yet well conversant with Neuroanatomy. I don't know how I can really grasp it! Anyway I really recommend it to anyone in love with science, particularly medical knowledge. Thanks to the team that made the lectures interesting! More importantly, thanks for the 7 days access, I could not afford to pay. I humbled and indebted by the kind hearts!
