Summary: Cerebral ischemia in young adults is an important medical problem, since in 26 up to 38 percent of the patients, the cause of the disease is not easily established with absolute certainty. The aim of the research is to investigate the etiology and pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia in young adults,its clinical manifestations as well as treatment and current diagnostic possibilities. With the above mentioned aim in mind the group of patients of both sexes aged between 17 and 50 will be evaluated. Laboratory investigation comprising cardiological, neurological invasive and noninvasive tests will be carried out in order to get a better insight into the multiple problems of the disease. Based on the obtained data the quality of treatment and rehabilitation will probably be improved, and at the same time the quality of life will be positively affected and disease recidiva prevented.

Keywords: ischemia, cerebrum, young adult

Research goals: After having suffered cerebral ischemia the young as well as elderly patients undergo different laboratory, internal (cardiologic) and neurologic examinations. The obtained data along the clinical picture of the disease are invaluable for understanding the onset of the disease. In this group of patients not only typical but also atypical and infrequent causes of the disturbance should be taken into consideration. The aim of the study is: a) to examine the signifiance of the typical risk factors b) to investigate significance of the atypical and infrequent etiological and pathogenetic factors c) to establish morphologic changes and their characteristic d) to establish the possible insufficiency of the present diagnostic modalities d) to establish the treatment and rehabilitation possibilities of the patients Thestudy will contribute to the better understanding of the disease mechanisms in order to reduce risk factors, to enhance diagnostic and treatment procedures and to improve patients rehabilitation. In this way the quality of life will also be improved, thus inhibiting disease recidiva.
