Objective: To describe the clinical and etiological characteristics of hemiplegia in the northern region of Burkina Faso. Methodology: This was transversal with a descriptive and analytical study of one hundred and ninety-six hemiplegic patients in charge of general medicine at the Ouahigouya Regional University Hospitalfrom November 2015 to November 2017. Results: The majority of patients had a brutal hemiplegia predominant on the right. The sample consisted mainly of male patients with a mean age of 58 years. High blood pressure was the main factor of vascular risk. The cerebrovascular accident (58.7%) was the main pathology diagnosed. Most patients received symptomatic management. Physiotherapy was performed in 29.6% of patients. The clinical outcome at discharge was marked by the persistence of hemiplegia in more than 90.8% of patients. There was an improvement in the average MIF score at the exit. Conclusion: The lack of computed tomography and neuro-resuscitation unit were the main factors limiting the management of hemiplegia in our context.
