**This is the first of three submodules on clinical localisation of stroke. **

Understanding the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and symptoms associated with stroke is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment. Unlock the key to timely stroke diagnosis and treatment by deepening your knowledge of underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and symptoms. Our engaging case-based modules, building upon an introductory foundation, will empower you to identify and interpret clinical symptoms in vascular areas, review essential vascular and cerebral anatomy, and grasp the nuanced presentations of stroke according to the affected brain region.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Examine the prevalence and aetiology of stroke and recognize the effects on prognosis and outcomes.
• Apply the classification of stokes and identify and interpret the clinical symptoms of each.
• Investigate relevant mechanisms of vascular and cerebral anatomy in stroke presentations.
