Post-stroke cognitive impairment - A cross-sectional comparison study between mild cognitive impairment of vascular and non-vascular etiology

Cognitive impairment following minor stroke involves episodic verbal and visual memory over and above executive function in comparison to MCI of non-vascular etiology. Close cognitive followup is warranted with adequate risk stratification and management especially in the presence of sub-cortical leukoaraiosis which is contributory to cognitive decline in this group of patients.
