• Abstract:

  Stroke, a process that poses great risks to life, is a phenomenon analyzed since the beginning of human history, but it worsened after the historical period called sedentary lifestyle, in which man ceases to be a nomad and starts to live fixed. to a location.

  From this perspective, research on stroke became more evident from the 20th century onwards, bringing several discoveries about the causes, aggravating factors and consequences of its action in the body.

  Stroke results from neurological failures that can be momentary or even permanent, of various intensities, which can somehow disrupt the individual's life, impairing their independence in carrying out daily activities (Brito & Rabinovich, 2008).

  In view of this question, the objective of the research is to demonstrate why the study and knowledge of the characteristic symptoms of a stroke can be essential to save several lives, not only in medical practice, but in the daily life of any human being.

To this end, a survey was carried out in databases (Medline, Scielo, MedScape, PubMed, ...) on websites of organizations (Inca, Ministry of Health) and institutions interested in the investigated topic, as well as in texts by scholars in the field in reference books.

  The present research is justified by the fact that it will contribute to our medical performance in the health scenario, because through it the population will be able to prevent themselves and know how to act in the course of a situation similar to the case reported.
