Abstract: Considerable controversy still surrounds the role of early neurosurgical intervention in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage despite several trials conducted over the past 5 decades. Case fatality and functional outcomes are disappointing, with stroke continuing to represent the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. The dearth of multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation centers and teams in Pakistan to address the neuroplasticity potential in the chronic phase of stroke recovery has left stroke survivors to cope with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional disability, and unable to integrate back into society.
