ischemic stroke in young adults, diagnostic approach, clinical manifestations, complementary investigationsAbstract
Introduction: ischemic stroke in young adults has emerged as a relevant health problem today due to its increased incidence, high mortality, the duration of the disability and social consequences.
Objective: to describe an approach in diagnosis of ischemic stroke in young adults based on etiopathogenic classification, history and complementary investigations.
Method: a wide-ranging bibliographic review was carried out using Google Scholar, searching in bibliographic databases like PubMed, SciELO and Medline, and searching different keywords; 32 articles were chosen in the process with title and abstract were linked with the subject of this review.
Development: the etiopathogenic subtypes of ischemic stroke in young adults differ with regard to older adults, and its etiologic causes are more diverse and heterogeneous. Risk factors, personal and family pathological history, non-neurological and neurological clinical manifestations, allow an approach to diagnosis, while complementary investigations facilitate the confirmation of diagnosis, the location and size of the ischemic infarction, definition of the etiological cause and the support of therapeutic decisions.
Final considerations: the history and clinical manifestations obtained through interrogation and physical examination, in association with complementary investigations, made it possible an approach to diagnosis of etiopathogenic subtype and the cause of ischemic brain infarction in young adults improving treatment possibilities.
