Summary: Stroke is the most common neurological disease. Although the clinical findings that present in various kinds of stroke are often very similar, there is a wide variety of causes. An effective and specific therapy requires consideration of the etiology of the stroke incident. The cases presented in this book originate from one of the top worldwide stroke clinics--Charite, Berlin--and using imaging studies from all modalities as well as clinical information, the reader is guided to a better understanding of the process of stroke, its diagnosis, and effective means of therapy.
