- Apoplexy, from the Greek word meaning "struck down with violence,” first appeared in Hippocratic writings to describe this phenomenon.[1]
- As early as 1599, the word stroke was used as a synonym for apoplectic seizure and is a fairly literal translation of the Greek term.[2]
- In 1658, in his Apoplexia, Johann Jacob Wepfer (1620–1695) identified the cause of hemorrhagic stroke when he suggested that people who had died of apoplexy had bleeding in their brains.[1]
