AB  - Sudden  onset  of  a  neurologic  deficit  from  a  vascular  mechanism:  ∼85%  are  ischemic;  ∼15%  are  primary  hemorrhages  (subarachnoid  [Chap.  20]  and  intraparenchymal).  An  ischemic  deficit  that  resolves  rapidly  without  radiologic  evidence  of  an  infarction  is  termed  a  transient  ischemic  attack  (TIA);  24  h  is  a  commonly  used  boundary  between  TIA  and  stroke,  although  most  TIAs  last  between  5  and  15  min.  Stroke  is  a  leading  cause  of  neurologic  disability  in  adults;  ∼150,000  deaths  annually  in  the  United  States.  Much  can  be  done  to  limit  morbidity  and  mortality  through  prevention  and  acute  intervention.
