Abstract

Atherosclerosis is the principal pathological process affecting the extracranial and intracranial arteries responsible for ischemic stroke. Less commonly, ischemic stroke is due to other conditions, such as spontaneous dissection and other nonatherosclerotic arteriopathies as well as heart disease. All of these diseases are described in Chaps. 16, 17, 18, and 19.
