Brain infarctions due to atherothrombosis or cardiogenic emboli account for most cases of stroke. The remainder are caused by hemorrhages related to hypertension or subarachnoid bleeding. Management includes immediate measures to prevent further damage and rehabilitative measures by a multidisciplinary team. Efforts must also be directed toward preventing future strokes.
