    Enfermedad vascular cerebral en jóvenes constituye una contribución inédita en lengua española sobre un tema tan específico como trascendente: la enfermedad vascular cerebral (EVC) en la población joven, escrita por autores internacionales líderes en los diferentes aspectos de este complejo tema. En las últimas décadas, la EVC en jóvenes ha dejado de ser una rareza clínica para convertirse en un problema creciente, con implicaciones significativas por lo que hace a su diagnóstico y manejo. El adecuado abordaje clínico y tecnológico es indispensable para la solución de esta compleja patología, y este título ofrece las herramientas necesarias para su estudio. La presente obra proporciona una revisión exhaustiva de los diferentes aspectos de la enfermedad, abordando su incidencia y factores de riesgo, tanto clásicos como nuevos. También se revisan las diferentes etiologías, y se proporciona un marco para la toma de decisiones clínicas y el manejo de los trastornos cerebrovasculares tanto frecuentes como infrecuentes en esta población.
