Abstract
Introduction: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is one of the main causes of mortality and disability in the world, representing a major public health challenge. For early and accurate diagnosis of both types of stroke, various imaging modalities are used, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which play a crucial role in differentiating between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Objectives: To review current diagnostic methods for hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke, addressing imaging technologies, emerging biomarkers and clinical criteria that facilitate differential diagnosis. We will also discuss the limitations and challenges faced in clinical practice, considering the particularities and urgencies of each type of stroke. Material and Methods: The methodology used was a literature review. The research was carried out through an electronic search of scientific articles. Results and Discussion: In order to deal with stroke cases efficiently, it is essential that the medical team is well prepared, both in theoretical and practical terms. This preparation involves training to quickly identify signs and symptoms of a stroke, such as sudden loss of function on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, mental confusion, loss of coordination and blurred vision. Final considerations: Early distinction between the types of stroke, made by means of imaging tests, is fundamental, as it guides appropriate treatment and prevents complications. In both cases, rapid response and specialized care in the hospital environment are critical factors for the prognosis. Therefore, effective emergency care, based on well-established protocols and the training of health teams, is indispensable for reducing the morbidity and mortality rates associated with stroke.
Keywords: Emergencies; Cerebrovascular accident; ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
