Roever L and Resende ES

Lacunar stroke corresponds to 15-25% of all ischemic strokes, and has a more favorable prognosis and their survival rates at 30 days and 1 year are about 90-100%, and about 70-80% patients are functionally independent at 1 year, compared with less than 50% of patients with non-lacunar stroke.
