title: [The neurologist when faced with stroke].
abstract: The role of the neurologist during the entire care process involving patients who suffer a stroke is stressed. His/her intervention in this process is of fundamental importance given the existence of widely verified scientific evidence that this significantly improves the survival expectancies and the independence of these patients and that it is profitable for the health care system. An improvement in the quality of life of both the patients and their family is obtained from this intervention.
