is acute disorders of cerebral circulation, is acute disorders of cerebral circulation, rapidly developing clinical signs of focal rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause leading to death with no apparent cause other then that of vascular originother then that of vascular origin
