Neurologists learn from their patients, and this selection of 60 stroke cases will inform and challenge clinicians at all stages in their careers. Including both common and unusual cases, the aim is to reinforce diagnostic skills through careful analysis of individual presenting patterns, and to guide treatment decisions. Each case consists of a clinical history, examination findings and special investigations, usually involving imaging before a diagnosis is given. There then follows for each case a discussion of the clinical issues raised by the case, in which the main teaching points are emphasized. Selected references, frequently including the first description, are provided at the conclusion of each case. Drawing on the expertise of leading teachers and practitioners, and liberally illustrated, these case studies and the discussions that accompany them are an essential guide to learning the complexity of stroke diagnosis.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Western industrialized countries, with around 500 transient ischaemic attacks and 2400 new strokes occurring per one million inhabitants each year. Many patients who recover from stroke need help with daily living and all have to be managed intensively by their neurologists and general practitioners. Nowadays, due to the rapid progress of medical science, stroke is no longer a uniformly fateful disorder. Powerful therapies are now available both for the treatment of acute stroke and for primary and secondary prevention. Because of the need for rapid treatment of acute stroke ('time is brain') and the multimodal approach to stroke prevention, interdisciplinary cooperation among several healthcare professionals (general practitioners, emergency medical services, internists, radiologists and neurologists) is very beneficial. In writing this book, we have attempted to communicate a multidisciplinary, practical and effective approach to treating stroke, with algorithms based on scientific data and clinical experience, and illustrated by several pertinent case studies.
The book also contains a comprehensive list of relevant drugs, with information on doses, efficacy and side effects, and we have referenced the book thoroughly throughout. We hope you will find this book interesting and informative and that it will help your approach to clinical practice in this important area.
