Overview
The term 'stroke' is used to describe pathological conditions caused by brain ischemia or hemorrhage. According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (July, 2013),[1] the updated definitions are:
Stroke vs. Intracranial Hemorrhage
Stroke in the Young
This is a term used to describe stroke seen in individuals between 18 and 45 years of age.[2]
Stroke in the Young
- Cardiac - Congenital heart disease, atrial myxoma, patent foramen ovale, atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease
- Vascular - Extracranial arterial dissection, hypertension, Moyamoya syndrome, migraine, vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Hematologic - Sickle cell disease, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antithrombin III deficiency
- Infectious - Human Immunodeficiency Virus, varicella, bacterial meningitis, syphilis, tuberculosis
- Metabolic - Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, Fabry disease, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes
- Drugs - Cocaine, methamphetamine, oral contraceptives
Management
