Neurologists and Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident) Care

A neurologist is the specialist who diagnoses and manages cerebrovascular accidents (strokes)—interruption of brain blood flow causing ischemia or hemorrhage.

Neurologist's Role

• Acute evaluation and thrombolysis/thrombectomy decisions.
• Stroke unit admission and monitoring.
• Secondary prevention (antithrombotics, risk factor control).
• Rehabilitation coordination.

Rapid neurology involvement improves outcomes.
