Overview
- Hippocrates (460 to 370 BC) was first to describe the phenomenon of sudden paralysis. 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]
Historical perspective
- Hippocrates (460 to 370 BC) was first to describe the phenomenon of sudden paralysis.
- 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]
