Abstract: This chapter describes Fisher’s contributions in regard to the presence, nature, and severity of carotid artery and cerebral atherosclerosis and the symptoms and signs in patients with brain ischemia and infarction; transient ischemic attacks; the nature and symptoms related to dissection of brain-supplying arteries; and hydrocephalus and gait abnormalities in older adults. Fisher made many contributions to medicine. Arguably his major contribution to the care of patients with cerebrovascular disease and brain ischemia and strokes was his lengthy descriptions and diagrams of the symptoms and signs in patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease that appeared in textbooks of internal medicine and neurology.
