Abstract
These diseases, manifested by vascular occlusion, hemorrhage, or both, have a variety of causes. For didactic purposes, we are arbitrarily dividing this very heterogeneous group of lesions into three subgroups: (1) coagulopathies, (2) cerebrovascular disorders of cardiovascular origin, and (3) inflammatory and dysmetabolic vasculopathies.
