Presentation
CLINICAL PRESENTATION Although stroke in childhood is relatively rare, its clinical presentation is usually obvious to the paediatrician, who can investigate both obvious and subtle presentations and initiate emergency medical management. [adc.bmj.com]
As per available reports about 450 journals, 444 Conferences, 18 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Cerebrovascular Disease and about 436,000 articles are being published on the current trends in Cerebrovascular Disease. [omicsonline.org]
Fifteen cases of unilateral gustatory disturbance due to central lesions, including the present cases, have been reported to our knowledge. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
"Extensive workup, including fasting lipid panel and transesophageal echocardiogram, was only significant for methamphetamine in the urine," they wrote. "No cocaine or other illicit drugs were detected." [web.archive.org]
After the history and physical exam, clinicians may move on to laboratory workup and imaging. [en.wikipedia.org]

The majority of patients with stroke require specialized medical treatment. However, stroke has long been considered an incurable disease and satisfactory treatment had not been delivered. [ncvc.go.jp]
Treatment is recommended when the risk of the aneurysm rupturing outweighs the risks of treatment. [hus.fi]
Treatment is personalized for each patient by choosing from the most advanced medical, endovascular and surgical treatments, as well as ongoing clinical trials. [neurosurgery.ucsf.edu]
Prognosis
[…] is a comprehensive resource on clinical stroke, covering all major aspects of cerebrovascular disease, including epidemiology, risk factors, primary prevention, pathophysiology, diagnostics, clinical features, acute therapies, secondary prevention, prognosis [oxfordmedicine.com]
Each of these TIA has its own pathophysiology, clinical features, and prognosis and, thus, the treatments differ. [revespcardiol.org]
Prognosis Although stroke is a disease of the brain, it can affect the entire body. A common disability that results from stroke is complete paralysis on one side of the body, called hemiplegia. [ninds.nih.gov]
Etiology
Etiological and Pathogenic Classification of Stroke The etiological and pathogenic categorization of stroke is essential for its proper treatment. [revespcardiol.org]
The TOAST classification denotes five subtypes of ischemic stroke: 1) large-artery atherosclerosis, 2) cardioembolism, 3) small-vessel occlusion, 4) stroke of other determined etiology, and 5) stroke of undetermined etiology. [dx.doi.org]
Hemorrhages of all etiologies tend to occur in younger patients than those afflicted by ischemic stroke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Strokes are classified according to their putative pathophysiological mechanisms. In each case, a stroke can be defined as the clinical manifestations and principles of diagnosis and treatment. [minclinic.ru]
The tests within this battery measure the dysfunction in specific brain circuitry often impaired in patients and are firmly rooted in a scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of cerebrovascular disease. [cambridgecognition.com]
The term acute ischemic cerebrovascular syndrome describes a spectrum of clinical presentations that share a similar underlying pathophysiology: cerebral ischemia. [doi.org]
Prevention
Mayo Clinic believes that the best cure for cerebrovascular disease is prevention--preventing the degree of impairment following stroke and preventing cerebrovascular disorders themselves. [mayo.edu]
