Brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stroke
A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to the brain. Approximately every 40 seconds, someone in the US has a stroke.
[24] This is can happen when a
blood vessel is blocked by a
blood clot
or when a blood vessel ruptures, causing blood to leak to the brain. If
the brain cannot get enough oxygen and blood, brain cells can die,
leading to permanent damage.
Signs and symptoms
Every disease has different
signs and
symptoms.
Some of them are persistent headache; pain in the face, back, arms, or
legs; an inability to concentrate; loss of feeling; memory loss; loss of
muscle strength;
tremors; seizures; muscle
fasciculations (also known as twitching); tics; paralysis; and
slurred speech. One should seek medical attention if affected by these.
Treatments
There is a wide range of treatments for central nervous system diseases. These can range from surgery to
rehabilitation or prescribed medications.
