What types of stroke exist
There are two types of strokes, such as reflects the MSD Manualthe site of the book of medical consultations and treatments first published in 1899,
Ischemic stroke. It is the death of an area of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) as a result of an insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the brain due to blockage of an artery. And it can happen in two ways:
A clot can form in an artery that is already very narrow, called a thrombotic stroke. A clot breaks off from somewhere else in the blood vessels of the brain, or somewhere in the body, and travels to the brain. It is called a cerebral embolism or embolic stroke.
Hemorrhagic strokes. They include bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) and bleeding between the inner and outer layers of the tissue that covers the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage).
In the event of a stroke, urgent medical attention is required.
There are people with defects in the brain’s blood vessels that make this more likely. Some examples are the following:
Aneurysm: a weak area in the wall of a blood vessel that causes the vessel to form a bulge or bubble on the outside. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM): an abnormal connection between arteries and veins. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (ACA) ): a condition in which amyloid proteins build up on the walls of arteries in the brain.
What are the symptoms of a stroke
