BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Georges Simenon accurately describes, in a novel called Les Anneaux de Bicêtre, the clinical picture and course, and the hospital procedures and treatment of a patient with a large left hemispheric stroke, presumably ischemic.
METHODS: I here summarize these features and use them as a basis to discuss the marked changes in stroke evaluation and care in the last 60 years.
RESULTS/CASE REPORT: A 54-year old Newspaper director was admitted shortly after an acute stroke leading to temporary loss of consciousness, to motor aphasia and right hemiplegia and hypoesthesia. Risk factors included hypertension, a sedentary life, smoking, and a previous episode of cardiac arrhythmia possibly related to congenital heart disease. Evaluation included electroencephalography, cerebral arteriography and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. The acute treatment involved prolonged bed rest in a private room, prophylactic antibiotics, and oral anticoagulation. Smoking was allowed. Prolonged in-hospital rehabilitation followed initial passive physical therapy provided by nurses. After many months, the patient was released with persistent motor problems and a marked psychological change.
CONCLUSION: The entire field of acute stroke care has been revolutionized in the last 60 years. Big data management, telemedicine, software, new brain and vascular imaging techniques, biomarkers, robotics etc., are currently in development and again should lead to new and surprising changes during the next decades.
