Definition(s)
- Stroke symptoms were first described in the 4th century BC and, like many medical writings from the Classical Age of Greece, these descriptions are credited to Hippocrates. The disorder was termed “apoplexy,” a Late Middle English word derived from the Greek apoplexia [æpYpleksi] meaning “being struck down” and plexe implying “a stroke” or “to beat.” The word may refer to the most frequent symptom of stroke, hemiplegia, a sudden paralysis of one side of the body, often with loss of consciousness in a seemingly healthy person.
