Abstract
The hospital emergency department physician must often treat patients who have had a cerebral vascular accident. He must be prepared to differentiate stroke from meningitis, cerebral neoplasm and trauma, to start emergency treatment if necessary, and to make a clinical diagnosis as soon as possible, since in many stroke syndromes treatment must be started early. Lumbar puncture and cerebral angiography are the most useful diagnostic aids.
