Abstract
Neurologic complications of cardiovascular surgeries are well documented in the literature. Neurologic deficits may be mild and reversible or may be associated with permanent neurologic deficit. The incidence and severity of such complications vary according to the type of surgical procedure and usually correlate with patients' preoperative general medical condition, duration of surgeries, and intraoperative complications.
