title: [Medicolegal assessment of cerebral ischemia and hemorrhage].
abstract: Cerebral ischemia and hemorrhage are the most frequent cause of invalidity and disability in the elderly, corresponding to the significance of these diseases for social law and expert opinion. The sequelae of media infarcts and extended hemorrhage are obvious and offer little reason for litigation. Conflicts occur in cases of minor deficits and less obvious neuropsychological or psychiatric symptoms, including mental, cognitive, mnestic and executive functions.
