title: [Thalamic Stroke and Associated Behavior Disorders. Possibilities for Integral Management: Case Report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Since ancient Greece, cerebrovascular accidents have been described with no variation. Even today, they are still a catastrophic event in the lives of patients with a high risk of disabling sequelae.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report of a 56-year male patient with thalamic ischemia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The intervention with integral strategies involving pharmacological management and cognitive interventions was decisive for the satisfactory evolution of the patient.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The management of patients with cerebrovascular accidents cannot be limited to the emergency room. Pharmacological advances in programs and cognitive intervention methods provide intervention tools from the very beginning of the stroke thus reducing the impact of long-term sequelae, and consequently enabling a better reintegration of the patient to his family.
