Case of Stroke-1

CASE OF STROKE
STROKE
• A stroke occurs when part of the brain loses its blood supply
and stops working. This causes the part of the body that the
injured brain controls to stop working.
• A stroke also is called a cerebrovascular accident, CVA, or
"brain attack.“
• The types of strokes include:

• Ischemic stroke (part of the brain loses blood flow)
• Hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding occurs within the brain)
STROKE
• Transient ischemic attack:
• TIA, or mini-stroke (The stroke symptoms resolve within minutes,
but may take up to 24 hours on their own without treatment.
This is a warning sign that a stroke may occur in the near future.)
• Hemorrhagic (heh-more-raj-ik) strokes :

• occur when a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptures. The
result is blood seeping into the brain tissue, causing damage to
brain cells.
• The most common causes of hemorrhagic stroke are high blood
pressure and brain aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weakness or
thinness in the blood vessel wall.
STROKE
Risk factors:
• Being overweight
• Being aged 55 years or older
• A personal or family history of stroke
• An inactive lifestyle
• A tendency to drink heavily, smoke, or use illicit drugs
STROKE
Symptoms of stroke are:
• Confusion, including trouble with speaking and understanding
• A headache, possibly with altered consciousness or vomiting
• Numbness or inability to move parts of the face, arm, or leg,
particularly on one side of the body
• Vision problems in one or both eyes
• Trouble walking, including dizziness and lack of co-ordination
