Troisième cause de mortalité dans les pays développés, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC) sont responsables de 130 000 nouveaux cas par an en France. Leur prise en charge est devenue, en quelques années, l’un des principaux défis pour la médecine d’urgence. Leur prise en charge est devenue en quelques années l'un des principaux défi pour la médecine d'urgence. Un défi à l’image d’une course contre la montre… pour avoir, dans un délai de moins de trois heures, un diagnostic de certitude permettant, en cas d’AVC ischémique, d’initier une thrombolyse. Cela suppose que l’appel du patient au Samu-centre 15 soit précoce, que soit organisé le transfert rapide vers un établissement disposant d’une unité neurovasculaire et que soient accessibles les examens discriminants. Cela suppose, pour chacun des acteurs de cette chaîne de prise en charge, une bonne connaissance de l’AVC et de l’ensemble des pathologies neurovasculaires. Cet ouvrage pratique, rédigé par des médecins de services internationalement reconnus pour leur expérience dans ce domaine, mêle efficacement recommandations internationales et expériences de terrain. Certes, l’AVC, et en particulier l’AVC ischémique et son traitement, occupe ici une place de choix, mais les diagnostics différentiels, AVC hémorragiques, hémorragie sous-arachnoïdienne, accident ischémique transitoire, complètent cet ouvrage ; imagerie, stratégies de prévention, organisation des soins et rééducation ne sont pas oubliées, faisant de ce livre un véritable ouvrage de référence. Un ouvrage que tous les urgentistes, neurologues, réanimateurs et médecins de la réadaptation fonctionnelle devraient avoir à portée de main pour une prise en charge optimale des urgences neurovasculaires.
