title: [Management of cerebrovascular stroke].
abstract: Strokes are classified according to their time course, involved vascular territory and etiology. For this purpose the important clinical symptoms and signs are reviewed and a rational use of the diagnostic tools is suggested. Mostly depending on the etiology of a stroke, decisions for treatment and prophylaxis are made. Treatment consists in general medical management and in most cases use of anticoagulants and aspirin, which have proved efficacious in prevention of recurrent stroke. Two studies have also proved the prophylactic value of carotid endarterectomy after stroke.
