Brain Stroke
Stroke (also known as brain stroke or cerebrovascular accident) is a a condition where there is a severe reduction or interruption in the blood flow to a region of the brain. It is a medical emergency in which the blood flow is restricted, depriving the brain's cells of nutrition and oxygen, causing the cells to begin dying within minutes. Because brain cells (neurons) are unable to repair, there is lasting harm and irreversible repercussions. A stroke happens when the blood flow to a portion of your brain is cut off or diminished, depriving the brain's tissue of oxygen and nutrients. A stroke is a medical emergency, so getting help quickly is essential. Early intervention can lessen complications and brain damage.
