Objective: To describe the mechanisms leading to aggressive behavior among patients with acute posterior cerebral artery stroke. Design, setting, and patients: We prospectively included all of the patients with posterior cerebral artery stroke and aggressive behavior admitted to our department from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2004. Patients with history of stroke, cognitive impairment, or prior history of psychiatric disease were excluded.
