What is the difference between acute cerebrovascular disease and cerebrovascular accident?
Acute cerebrovascular disease is the hardening of the arteries that supply blood to the brain. A cerebrovascular accident is when a stroke occurs due to a blood clot in the arteries leading to the brain.

What is the term for when a blood vessel in the brain becomes clogged?
hemorrhagic strokeOR cerebrovascular accident ("CVA"). CVA can be ischemic (clot that is blocking blood flow) or hemorrhagic in nature.CVA - Cerebro vascular accidentCVA - Cerebro vascular accident

What are two ways that a Cerebrovascular Accident can occur?
A stroke can occur in two ways. In an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocks or plugs a blood vessel or artery in the brain. About 80 percent of all strokes are ischemic. In an hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel in the brain breaks and bleeds into the brain. About 20 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic.
What does Cerebrovascular accident mean?
That's a fancy way of saying "stroke". A stroke is either a blockage of blood vessels in the brain, or a leak ( a rupture) in a blood vessel in the brain. Blockages or "occlusions" are more common than "hemorrhagic" (bleeding) strokes. The word "cerebrovascular" means "brain" (cerebro) and "blood vessels" (vascular). And "accident" means "something went wrong!"
