1.
2. Etiology and Pathophysiology
âą Brain requires continuous supply of O2 and glucose for neurons to
function
âą If blood flow is interrupted
âą Neurologic metabolism is altered in 30 seconds
âą Metabolism stops in 2 minutes
âą Cell death occurs in 5 minutes
3. Etiology and Pathophysiology
âą Atherosclerosis is a major cause of stroke
âą Can lead to thrombus formation and contribute to emboli
4. Cerebrovascular Accident
Anatomy of Cerebral Circulation
ï¶Blood Supply
ï¶Anterior: Carotid Arteries â middle & anterior cerebral arteries
ï¶frontal, parietal, temporal lobes; basal ganglion; part of the diencephalon
(thalamus & hypothalamus)
ï¶Posterior: Vertebral Arteries â basilar artery
ï¶Mid and lower temporary & occipital lobes, cerebellum, brainstem, & part
of the diencephalon
ï¶Circle of Willis â connects the anterior & posterior cerebral
circulation
5. Cerebrovascular Accident
Anatomy of Cerebral Circulation
ï¶Blood Supply
ï¶20% of cardiac outputâ750-1000ml/min
ï¶>30 second interruptionâ neurologic metabolism is altered;
metabolism stops in 2 minutes; brain cell death < 5 mins.

7. Cerebrovascular Accident
Pathophysiology
ï¶Atherosclerosis: major cause of CVA
ï¶Thrombus formation & emboli development
ï¶Abnormal filtration of lipids in the intimal layer of the arterial wall
ï¶Plaque develops & locations of increased turbulence of blood - bifurcations
ï¶Increased turbulence of blood or a tortuous area
ï¶Calcified plaques rupture or fissure
ï¶Platelets & fibrin adhere to the plaque
ï¶Narrowing or blockage of an artery by thrombus or emboli
ï¶Cerebral Infarction: blocked artery with blood supply cut off beyond the
blockage
8. Cerebrovascular Accident
Pathophysiology
ï¶Ischemic Cascade
ï¶Series of metabolic events
ï¶Inadequate ATP adenosine triphosphate production
ï¶Loss of ion homeostasis
ï¶Release of excitatory amino acids â glutamate
ï¶Free radical formation
ï¶Cell death
ï¶Border Zone: reversible area that surrounds the core ischemic
area in which there is reduced blood flow but which can be
restored (3 hours +/-)
9. âą Cognitive and emotional activities might include:
âą Therapy for cognitive disorders. Occupational therapy and speech therapy
can help you with lost cognitive abilities, such as memory, processing,
problem-solving, social skills, judgment and safety awareness.
âą Therapy for communication disorders. Speech therapy can help you regain
lost abilities in speaking, listening, writing and comprehension.
âą Psychological evaluation and treatment. Your emotional adjustment might
be tested. You might also have counseling or participate in a support group.
âą Medication. Your doctor might recommend an antidepressant or a
medication that affects alertness, agitation or movement
10. Re-education
ïto empower the patient more possible
ïKinesitherapy
ïŒstimulate sensory functions
ïŒwalking rehabilitation
12. Speech Therapy
ïAt home more than in a
hospital setting
ïAssessment and treatment
of aphasic disorders,
communication, swallowing
Neuropsychologist
ïManagement of anxiety
and depression
ïAssessment and treatment
of neuropsychological
disorders
13. Rehabilitation
ïPrepare the patient, in connection with his family and
the multidisciplinary team, to return to live in his
environment, and resuming his daily activities.
