AB  - Stroke  is  defined  as  a  neurologic  deficit  caused  by  a  focal  injury  to  the  central  nervous  system  secondary  to  vascular  disease,  and  includes  ischemic  stroke,  intracerebral  hemorrhage  (ICH),  and  subarachnoid  hemorrhage  (SAH).1  Each  year,  approximately  800,000  new  people  develop  a  stroke  in  the  United  States.2  Stroke  is  the  fifth  leading  cause  of  death  in  the  United  States  and  a  leading  cause  of  major  disability  in  adults.2  Furthermore,  the  risk  of  recurrent  stroke  is  as  high  as  20%  at  5  years.3  There  are  2  major  types  of  stroke:  ischemic  and  hemorrhagic  stroke.  Approximately,  87%  of  stroke  in  the  United  States  is  ischemic  and  the  remaining  is  hemorrhagic.3  Hemorrhagic  stroke  can  be  further  divided  into  ICH  and  SAH.4  This  chapter  aims  to  outline  the  current  understanding  of  common  stroke  presentations,  risk  factors,  pathophysiology,  complications,  and  treatment.
