AB  - Stroke  is  defined  as  any  disease  process  that  interrupts  blood  flow  to  the  brain.  Ischemic  strokes  (87%)  are  more  common  than  hemorrhagic  intracerebral  (10%)  and  a  traumatic  subarachnoid  hemorrhage  (SAH)  (3%)  (Table  141-1).  A  transient  ischemic  attack  (TIA)  is  a  transient  neurologic  deficit  that  typically  lasts  less  than  1  to  2  hours,  but  duration  can  no  longer  be  used  to  discriminate  between  TIA  and  stroke;  they  are  best  thought  of  as  similar  disease  processes  on  a  continuum.
