The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) is the international body representing the specialty of neurology in more than 100 countries/regions of the globe. The WFN was organized as a federation of national neurologic societies in 1957. A primary goal of the WFN is to assist low-resource countries in providing meaningful education for its neurologic health care providers and thus improve the neurologic health of its citizens. During the last decade the WFN has promoted the Neurology Education in Latin America establishing different strategies.

Symptomatic carotid disease, characterized by atherosclerotic or non-atherosclerotic internal carotid artery disease with ipsilateral stroke symptoms, represents a critical condition in stroke neurology. This "hot carotid" state carries a high risk of stroke recurrence, with almost one-fourth of the patients experiencing recurrent ischemic events within 2 weeks of initial presentation. The global prevalence of significant carotid stenosis (conventionally defined as ≥50% narrowing) is estimated at around 1.
