Abstract

The blood pressure higher than 140/80 mmHg is called hypertension(HTA). The high blood pressure (hypertension) is a risk factor for stroke. The causes of hypertension can be multiple, the less common is reno-vascular hypertension. In the present research we discuss a case of an adult who was diagnosed with renovascular hypertension complicated by stroke. The brain lesions caused by cerebral haemorrhage resulted in cognitive impairment and affective and anxiety disorders. The patient was admitted to a medical rehabilitation ward, where he underwent complex treatment, including psychotherapy. The patient's evolution was favourable, both physically and mentally, but the prognosis remains reserved.
