Rapid loss of brain function due to blood supply disturbance.

Caused by blockage in blood vessels leading to ischemia.

Results from bleeding in or around the brain.

Bleeding at the surface of the brain.

Insufficient blood flow to the brain, reducing oxygen and glucose.

Temporary focal ischemia that causes short-lived symptoms.

Drugs that prevent blood clotting (e.g., heparin, warfarin).

Medications that dissolve blood clots (e.g., streptokinase).

A condition caused by blood flow interruption in the anterior cerebral artery, leading to contralateral paralysis mainly of the leg.

Paralysis on one side of the body opposite to the side of the brain injury.

Disruption in blood flow in the middle cerebral artery causing contralateral hemiplegia, especially in upper limbs and face.

Speech disturbance often associated with left hemisphere damage due to cerebral artery occlusion.

Visual field loss on the same side of both eyes, caused by damage to the posterior cerebral artery.

A surgical procedure to remove plaques from carotid arteries with over 70% stenosis.

Risk of stroke after carotid surgery due to dislodged thrombi.

Supplies blood to medial and dorsal parts of frontal and parietal lobes.

Supplies blood to the primary motor area and sensory areas of the cortex.

Supplies blood to the midbrain, thalamus, and occipital lobes.

A branch of the posterior cerebral artery that supplies the primary visual cortex.

Disorders resulting from impaired blood flow to the brain.

Narrowing of blood vessels, often leading to reduced blood flow.

Significant narrowing of blood vessels, particularly >70% in carotid arteries.

Supplies blood to medial and dorsal parts of frontal and parietal lobes.

Part of the frontal lobe controlling voluntary motor movements, especially of the leg.

Supplies blood to primary motor area and sensory areas of the cortex, especially face and arms.

Supplies blood to the midbrain, thalamus, and occipital lobes, including vision areas.

Loss of sensation on one side of the body opposite to the side of the brain injury, often due to middle cerebral artery syndrome.

Caused by interruption of blood flow to the posterior cerebral artery, resulting in contralateral homonymous hemianopia.

Rapid loss of brain function due to blood supply disturbance lasting over 24 hours.

Condition where brain tissue is deprived of oxygen delivery.

A localized bleeding outside of blood vessels, forming a clot in brain tissue.

Brief loss of consciousness due to reduced blood flow to the brain.

Typically caused by atherosclerosis or blood clots in brain blood vessels.

Treatment using drugs that dissolve blood clots.

Focal ischemia causing symptoms that last 5-30 minutes. Can precede a stroke.
