STROKE
Definition of CNS infarction: CNS infarction is brain, spinal cord, or retinal cell
death attributable to ischemia, based on
1. Pathological, imaging, or other objective evidence of cerebral, spinal cord,

or retinal focal ischemic injury in a defined vascular distribution; or
2. Clinical evidence of cerebral, spinal cord, or retinal focal ischemic injury

based on symptoms persisting ≥24 hours or until death, and other
etiologies excluded. (Note: CNS infarction includes hemorrhagic infarctions,
types I and II; see “Hemorrhagic Infarction.”)
Definition of ischemic stroke: An episode of neurological dysfunction caused

by focal cerebral, spinal, or retinal infarction. (Note: Evidence of CNS infarction
is defined above.)
Definition of silent CNS infarction: Imaging or neuropathological evidence of

CNS infarction, without a history of acute neurological dysfunction attributable
to the lesion.
Definition of intracerebral hemorrhage: A focal collection of blood within the

brain parenchyma or ventricular system that is not caused by trauma. (Note:
Intracerebral hemorrhage includes parenchymal hemorrhages after CNS
infarction, types I and II—see “Hemorrhagic Infarction.”)
Definition of stroke caused by intracerebral hemorrhage: Rapidly developing

clinical signs of neurological dysfunction attributable to a focal collection of
blood within the brain parenchyma or ventricular system that is not caused by
trauma.
Definition of silent cerebral hemorrhage: A focal collection of chronic blood

products within the brain parenchyma, subarachnoid space, or ventricular
system on neuroimaging or neuropathological examination that is not caused
NEUROCERIA-SEPT 2018 LEO-SIU-EVI-GANDA-IVAN

by trauma and without a history of acute neurological dysfunction attributable
to the lesion.
Definition of subarachnoid hemorrhage: Bleeding into the subarachnoid

space (the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater of the
brain or spinal cord).
Definition of stroke caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage: Rapidly developing

signs of neurological dysfunction and/or headache because of bleeding into
the subarachnoid space (the space between the arachnoid membrane and the
pia mater of the brain or spinal cord), which is not caused by trauma.
Definition of stroke caused by cerebral venous thrombosis: Infarction or

hemorrhage in the brain, spinal cord, or retina because of thrombosis of a
cerebral venous structure. Symptoms or signs caused by reversible edema
without infarction or hemorrhage do not qualify as stroke.
Definition of stroke, not otherwise specified: An episode of acute neurological

dysfunction presumed to be caused by ischemia or hemorrhage, persisting ≥24
hours or until death, but without sufficient evidence to be classified as one of
the above.
TIA
“A TIA is a brief episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain or
retinal ischemia, with clinical symptoms typically lasting less than one hour,
and without evidence of acute infarction.”

 0= no stroke
 1-4= minor stroke
 5-15= moderate stroke
 15-20= moderate/severe stroke
 21-42= severe stroke

Barthel Index
The BI is a scale that measures ten basic aspects of activity related to self-care
and mobility. The normal score is 100, and lower scores indicate greater
dependency. The BI is determined by observation of patients in a number of
tasks, although items regarding bowel and bladder continence are obtained by
history.

Modified Rankin scale
The Rankin scale was devised in
1957 for assessment of stroke
outcomes, and was modified in
1988 to improve its
comprehensiveness. The
modified version, or mRS, has
since been commonly used to
assess disability after a stroke.

Glasgow outcome scale
The GOS is another ordered scale
used to assess outcomes after
acute brain injury. The scale
allocates patients into broad
outcome categories (panel 4),
including: (1) good recovery; (2)
moderate disability; (3) severe
disability; (4) persistent
vegetative state; and (5)death. A
key diff erence of the GOS versus
the mRS is the lack of distinction
among patients with good
outcomes, since this group
encompasses full recovery and
mild disability.
CHA2DS2-VASc SCORE
Stroke risk stratification assists practitioners in determining when to use oral
anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation (AF). A number of scoring systems have
been devised to estimate stroke risk.
