Abstract:	CLINICAL TRAITS IN LACUNAR STROKE. Cerebral lacunar infarcts next to leukoaraiosis are members of the so called silent strokes family. The aetiology and the clinics are less known because the diagnosis is an accidental one. The first contact with a lacunary patient is usually at the general practitioner’s office. The patient will be later diagnosed by the neurologist using, and later differed to the general practitioner that will continue the therapy for such a patient. This scientific paper is willing to explain the aetiology, the morphopathology and the clinics of the lacunar infarcts for a better understanding of the lacunary patient concept.
Keywords:	lacunar stroke, clinical traits, aetiology, morphopathology
