Abstract
The first recorded reference to the nervous system dates back to ancient Egyptian records. The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, composed circa 3500 BC, contains the first use of the word ‘brain’ along with a description of its coverings and the fluid beneath them (Garrison, 1969). The history of stroke and cerebrovascular disease spans many centuries, although the observations that have influenced current practice have been described over the past 50 years.File in questo prodotto:
