영문 초록

There are well known predisposing and precipitating factors for delirium in elderly patients. Although cerebral disease is a major precipitating factor for delirium, the concept of cerebral disease is not clear. Stroke is a typical condition reflecting intracranial change. There are not many studies about delirium post stroke. This paper reviewed delirium post stroke, instead of cerebral disease induced delirium as a whole. The etiology of delirium post stroke is not well established. The neuroanatomical site and the extent of stroke are important risk factors for the development of delirium. In spite of many limitations CAM, DRS, and MMSE are useful evaluating tools for delirium. In some cases of post stroke delirium, it was developed directly by stroke without any additional cause. In other cases there were also medical complications. And in the rest of the cases, there were multiple potential causes for delirium. Although there are not specific preventive interventions for delirium post-stroke, identifying and correcting the underlying stroke, as well as preventing secondary medical complications are important. Multicomponent non-pharmacological interventions are helpful to prevent delirium, and pharmacological methods for treating behavioral symptoms are sometimes necessary. There should be more studies about cerebral disease induced delirium.
