Scope note: Grupo de afecciones patológicas caracterizadas por una pérdida súbita y sin convulsiones de la función neurológica debido a ISQUEMIA ENCEFÁLICA o HEMORRAGIAS INTRACRANEALES. El accidente cerebrovascular se clasifica según el tipo de NECROSIS tisular, como la localización anatómica, vasculatura afectada, etiología, edad del individuo afecto y naturaleza hemorrágina o no hemorrágica.

Scope note: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810)
