Abstract: The diversity of clinical syndromes and etiologies of stroke make stroke data banks one of the best tools to improve current knowledge of stroke. Hospital-based registries profit from a stroke team in the acute phase of the event and from access to special investigations. This leads to an earlier clinical and topographic diagnosis that may allow inclusion of the patient into acute trials within the therapeutic window. It also makes possible complete investigation in the acute period and broadens information on potential etiologies.
