| Summary: | Disorder of higher mental function is one of the most common complications of stroke, including stroke with a minimal and/or transient neurological deficit. Cognitive impairment after stroke indicates that there is a severe organic brain damage associated with both stroke and pre-stroke vascular (or other) cerebral disease. There is a clear association between the presence and severity of cognitive impairment and neuro-rehabilitation prognosis and secondary prevention after stroke. Therefore, it is appropriate to ensure early screening of cognitive disorders in patients with stroke using simple neuropsychological techniques. Treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment implies frequent use of neurometabolic drugs administration of which results in positive changes in relation to both cognitive and other neurological disorders. |
