Stroke is a brain disease
Although the title may seem as stating the obvious, the case has been far from that for the last six decades; if someone anywhere in the world had a stroke or a TIA, the WHO coding system places the event under either vascular diseases or episodic symptoms, not in the appropriate nervous system disease chapter of the ICD10. This situation started with ICD7 in 1955 and continued ever since, skewing all statistics produced by the WHO of neurological diseases. The ICD10 has been in use since 1990 and a total revamp is long overdue.
