Summary

Stroke is the most common cause of disability in elderly people (over 65years of age) and the third most common cause of death in the world . The World Health Organization estimates that one in six people globally will suffer from stroke in their lifetime. Perioperative stroke is the most unwanted complication for patients, as well as for surgeons and anesthesiologists . The reported risk of perioperative stroke varies with the type of surgery. Its incidence is generally not high (approximate 0.1-1.9%) in non-cardiac, non-neurologic, and non-major surgery However, it may occur in up to 10% of patients undergoing high-risk cardiac or brain surgery . Patients with perioperative stroke are less likely to have a good functional outcome and have an eight-fold higher mortality compared with those without perioperative stroke
