title: Neurobehavioral syndromes.
abstract: Dysfunction of higher cortical function and neurobehavioral syndromes may be present in up to 87% of stroke patients. These symptoms may occur less often in patients with transient ischemic attacks (36%). Approximately 22% of stroke patients may present only with cognitive and neurobehavioral symptoms without elementary neurological deficits. In this chapter we concentrate on delusions, hallucinations, misidentification syndromes, anosognosia of hemiplegia, aggressive behavior and also extended self syndrome.
