Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) is the disease that kills the most in Brazil and the one that causes the most disability in the world. It happens when the vessels that carry blood to the brain clog or rupture, thus causing paralysis in the affected area. Because this accident happens in the brain, many patients are left with sequelae for the rest of their lives, so the neuropsychological assessment was created in order to determine how much these injuries are harming the patient. The general objective of this study was to discuss the neuropsychological assessment in stroke patients. The research method used was the literature review, which searched in reliable databases for studies already published on the subject in order to compile information and discuss among authors. Thus, it is concluded that more studies should be carried out to accurately determine which injuries, their degrees, and thus be able to provide the patient with a better quality of life.
