Background: Neurological pathologies are frequent in sub-Saharan Africa. They are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality throughout the world and particularly in African countries. Objective: Define the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary profile of patients hospitalized in Neurology. Methodology: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study for 24 months from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 in the neurology department of Loandjili General Hospital in Pointe Noire, including patients hospitalized for a neurological condition. The data studied were epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary. Results: Seven hundred and thirty four patients were hospitalized during the study period. The average age of our patients was 57.28 years with a predominance of men and a sex ratio of 1.1. The mean time to admission to neurology was 7±25 days. Hypertension (66.9%) was the most common medical history. The main causes were vascular (87.6%) and infectious (8.7%). The mean hospital stay was 8.67±5.39 days. Conclusion: Neurological diseases constitute a real public health problem, in particular neurovascular and infectious pathology, which remain the main activity of our service. Thus, knowledge of these data will improve patient care.
