It is a disease that occurs in the arteries of the brain, and the cause is a stop or a decrease in the blood supply to the brain, and this deficiency is suddenly as a result of a defect, which leads to damage to cells inside the brain, and this disease can also be due to a sudden blockage of one of the arteries in the brain or Someone explodes. The stroke disease, stroke ranks among the most important diseases of the nervous system, as each person at risk of the disease; But the most common in the elderly.

There are two types of stroke, namely:

  1. Ischemic stroke
  2. It is a blood clot (blood clotting) that occurs in the brain, and it is the most common type; It occurs as a result of the brain not being supplied with the necessary blood and oxygen, or a closure or narrowing of the blood vessels that deliver them to the brain through fat or blood clotting. There is also another type of ischemic stroke called transient stroke; It is less dangerous than an ischemic stroke and is called a mini-stroke. Where many strokes are caused by the heart.

    • The transient stroke
    • It is a temporary stroke and has the same symptoms as a stroke, in which the delivery or supply of the brain with the blood and oxygen needed for a short period is cut off, after which the blood supply to the brain returns to normal. As this interruption of blood delivery to the brain for a short period is a prelude to or a warning of stroke, and this transient stroke when it occurs does not lead to the destruction of brain cells because these cells return to their normal functioning and the brain returns to its function quickly.

  3. Hemorrhagic stroke
  4. It is the bleeding gets the brain and is the result of the fragmentation or rupture of blood vessels, and this type of stroke, resulting in damage to tissues and cells due to swelling and high blood pressure in the brain, which may lead to death. Genetics is likely to play a role in such type of stroke as (arteriovenous malformation); It is a genetic condition that occurs between the arteries and veins and in most cases it is in the brain or the spine.

    The blood leaking into the brain tissue or around with the passage of time is likely to cause neurological attacks.
