Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 296))

Abstract

Stroke is a common and devastating neurological disorder (Scatton, 1994) which is the third leading cause of death in major industrialized countries and also a major cause of long-lasting disability. Cerebral ischemia is always vascular origin and can be divided into haemorrhagic and thromboembolic, with the latter accounting for approximately 90% of strokes (Scatton, 1994) and results from embolic or thrombotic occlusion of the major cerebral arteries, most often the middle cerebral artery.
