KeywordsStroke.
AnnotationStroke is already the commonest serious neurological problem in the world, and an ageing population threatens to worsen the burden. This supplement draws attention to the special difficulties faced by developing countries. It reaffirms the importance of the clinical approach, amplified and enhanced by technological advances in brain imaging, which in turn provides information on how ischaemia affects cognition. Articles discuss epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and medical care of stroke. (RH).
