This is case study of the patient, 58 years old, occupation merchant, admitted tot he neurological clinic as urgent case with the following diagnosis: insultus cerebrovascularis per haemorrhagiam, Haemathoma cerebrale reg. temporoparietalis lat. sin., Aphasia sensomotoria, Hemiplegia cerebralis lat. dex, Hypertensio art., Cor hypertonicum comp., Status post nephrectomiam lat. dex. After 26 days the patient was moved to the Institute for physical medicine and rehabilitation where started rehabilitation treatment in which was included speech therapist as well. After 30 days,movement of right side was improved very well, especially of the patient's leg, and patient began to walk helped by stick. In the same time, the speech was improved, and we concluded that in rehabilitation of this kind of patients, team work is necessary, and we think that speech therapist should be included as early as possible with maximal involvement of the family.

Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

An ischemic stroke occurs when a cerebral blood vessel becomes obstructed, most often by a thrombus or embolus, interrupting the delivery of oxygen and glucose to brain tissue. Because neurons rely on continuous aerobic metabolism, energy failure begins within minutes of reduced perfusion. The region receiving the least blood flow becomes the infarct core, an area of irreversible cellular death. Surrounding this core lies the penumbra, a zone of hypoperfused but still viable tissue that is...

Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction

A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
