Overview
The history of ischemic stroke dates back to 3000 BC when it was first described in one of the world's earliest medical document called the Edwin Smith papyrus, by one of the founder of egyptian medicine named Imhotep. Hippocrates (460 to 370 BC) was first to describe the phenomenon of sudden paralysis.[1] The word stroke was used as a synonym for apoplectic seizure as early as 1599, Apoplexy, from the Greek word meaning "struck down with violence,” first appeared in Hippocratic writings to describe this phenomenon. In the 1600s, a doctor named Johann Jacob Wepfer discovered the cause of ischemic stroke when he suggested that apoplexy might be caused by a blockage to those vessels.
