			==General==
			*Very common.
			*Leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

			Clinical classification:
			# Hemorrhagic stroke.
			# Ischemic stroke.

			==Gross==
			*Soft/mushy brain.
			*Older [[infarct]]s.
			**A "roof" is present - a thin submeningeal layer is preserved by the CSF.<ref>MUN. 16 December 2009.</ref>
			***"Roof" is absent in trauma.
			**Cavity - in older infarcts.
			***''[[Multiple sclerosis]]'' does not cavitate.
