Stroke is defined by the World Health Organization as "the rapid development of localized or global clinical signs of cerebral dysfunction with symptoms lasting more than twenty-four hours which can lead to death, for no other apparent cause than a vascular origin We conducted a retroscptive, descriptive and analytical study. This study took place during the period from January 2018 to December 2020, in. a period of 24 months On 352 patients hospitalized in neurological resuscitation unit 94 cases of patients presenting a cerebrovascular accident whatever the type or a frequency of 26.70%. The average age was 69.16 with a standard deviation of 18.93. The male sex was predominant at 59.57%. The main reason for hospitalization was characterized by an alteration of consciousness, in 35.10%. The first risk factor remains arterial hypertension in our series, in 57.44%.

Stroke is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the rapid development of localized or global clinical signs of cerebral dysfunction with symptoms lasting more than twenty-four hours which can lead to death, for no other apparent cause than a vascular origin. Our objective; determined the frequency, clinical aspect and evolutionary stroke in neurological resuscitation of fann. The neuro-resuscitation unit has a capacity of eight patients, six of whom are in intensive care and two in the transition phase reserved for patients on the way to recovery. Each of the beds is equipped with vital functions monitoring equipment. Mixed neurologists and paramedics take care of patients 24 hours a day. It is a sub-regional university hospital structure, unique in terms of their reception capacity and bringing together many sub-specialties. Research and teaching have a big place there
