Cerebrovascular diseases can be divided into three categories: ischemia and infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The initial diagnostic evaluation of the patient with suspected stroke has two purposes: (1) to determine whether the neurological symptoms are due to cerebrovascular disease or to some other condition, and (2) to distinguish among different types of cerebrovascular disease that require different treatments. The treatment of patients with acute stroke is complex and everchanging. As of September 2011, several statements regarding treatment can be made based on good clinical trial data.
