Strokes

What is Strokes ?
A stroke is caused by the total obstruction (blocking) of any artery that delivers blood to the brain. It may also be caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, followed by bleeding into the brain tissue.

Causes of Strokes
The effects of stroke depend upon what part of the brain has been damaged. They may be slight or severe, temporary or permanent. People who have had a stroke may experience the following symptoms
  • Weakness, numbness, or loss of function of face, arm, or leg especially on one side of the body,
  • Memory loss,
  • Problems speaking or understanding speech,
  • Loss of balance or coordination,
  • Difficulty swallowing,
  • Personality changes,
  • Loss of bowel/bladder control,
  • Sudden blurred or decreased vision in one or both eyes,
  • Sudden severe headache.


Diagnosis of Strokes
The physician may order several tests to diagnose the cause of the stroke. Tests can include an MRI or CAT scan, which are used to see the brain tissue, identify where the damage has occurred, and, possibly, identify the cause of the stroke. An ultrasound test (Doppler) can often identify blocked arteries that could be reducing blood flow to the brain.
