title: Neuropathology of cerebrovascular diseases.
abstract: Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is one of the commonest causes of disability and mortality worldwide. It includes all disorders in which an area of the brain is transiently or permanently affected by ischemia or bleeding. In this review, we describe the neuropathological changes associated with the most common entities leading to brain ischemia and hemorrhage.
