Sažetak
Stroke as the most common sequel of decreased cerebral blood flow due to embolic or thrombolytic occlusion of cerebral arteries leads to an acute state in the neurologic patient. Laboratory diagnosis along with noninvasive examinations such as computed tomography, color Doppler and nuclear magnetic resonance provides basic data for timely recognition and management of patients with acute cerebrovascular disturbance. Although the neuroimaging techniques enable almost all diagnoses of neurologic disease, laboratory findings remain a sensitive indicator of the current state of an individual allowing for identification of pathologic findings, assist in reaching the diagnosis, are useful in therapeutic success monitoring, and enable the disease outcome to predict.
