title: [Acute therapy and prevention of ischemic cerebral infarct].
abstract: The acute therapy of the cerebral infarct necessitates the fast evaluation of the favorable risk factors and the assessment of its pathogenetical mechanisms to facilitate a specific treatment as early as possible. Acute treatment procedures like the rheologic therapy, anticoagulation, thrombolysis, application of calcium antagonists, and antiedematous therapy are discussed. Recommendations for the secondary prophylaxis with drugs like acetylsalicylic acid or triclopidine after transitory ischemic attacks or manifest brain infarctions are given. The indications for the surgical therapy of stenoses of the extracranial vessels supplying the brain are discussed and rules for the emergency management of the transitory ischemic attack are introduced.
