Neuropsychology of Acute Stroke

Neuropsychology includes both the psychiatric manifestations of neurological illness (primary brain-based disorders) and neurobiology of “idiopathic” psychiatric disorders. Neurological primary brain disorders provoke broad spectrum of brain pathophysiology that causes deficit sin human behavior, and the magnitude of neurobehavioral-related problems is a worldwide health concern. Speech disorders of aphasic type, unilateral neglect, anosognosia (deficit disorders), delirium, and mood disorders (productive disorders) in urgent neurology, first of all in acute phase of stroke are more frequent disorders then it verified in routine exam, not only in the developed and large neurological departments.

Aphasia is common consequence of left-hemispheric lesion and most common neuropsychological consequence of stroke, with prevalence of one-third of all stroke patients in acute phase although exist reports on greater frequency.

Unilateral neglect is a disorder that mostly affects the patient after the lesion of the right hemisphere, mostly caused by a cerebrovascular insult (infarct or hemorrhage affecting a large area—up to two-thirds of the right hemisphere), and in general, the left-side neglect is the most widespread neuropsychological deficit after the lesion of the right cerebral hemisphere. Reports on the incidence of visual neglect vary and they range from 13 to 85%.

Anosognosia is the second place as neuropsychological syndrome of stroke in right hemisphere, characterized by the denial of the motor, visual or cognitive deficit. This syndrome, defined as denial of hemiparesis or hemianopsia, is a common disorder verified in 17–28% of all patients with acute brain stoke [10].
