Abstract
Strokes are heterogeneous not only with respect to their presentation, but more importantly in terms of the underlying pathology. There are now a number of choices available for the treatment of ischemic stroke, and the causative mechanisms responsible for each individual stroke must be considered in choosing an appropriate form of treatment. This article explores the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the major categories of stroke and also examines the reasons why strokes worsen or evolve.
