Stroke is the leading cause of permanent disability, including
post-stroke dementia, pain, depression, and personality changes.
While large clinical trials reflect information about large stroke
populations, the presentation of each and every stroke patient is
individual and special. More Case Studies in Stroke presents a new
selection of stroke cases from seven countries prepared by
practising stroke physicians. The book includes both common and
unusual cases, as well as misleading cases of diseases mimicking
stroke. 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, followed by diagnosis and
discussion. The outline of the actual diagnostic process, including
the use of modern diagnostic tools, decision making and course,
challenge the reader at all stages of their career from medical
students to neurologists and stroke physicians.
