What is the outcome of a stroke?
The outcome of a stroke depends on the severity of the stroke. Considering the fact that a stroke is a blood clot in your brain, there are a lot of possible outcomes, because the brain controls the body.
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 lobe is the most affected during the stroke?
A stroke can happen in any lobe of the brain. I think the worst area one can have a stroke in is at the base of the brain, in back of the head.
If someone had a stroke in his brain and couldn't use the muscle on the right side of the face which hemisphere of the brain had the stroke?
the Left Side.
When a person suffered a stroke and falls into a sleeplike coma and the damaged is somewhere in the brain stem which structure is most likely damaged?
Stroke damage is always somewhere in the brain. However, you cannot say that every person who has had a stroke and is in a coma has had the stroke in the same part of the brain. Strokes can affect just about any area of the brain.
What is the sudden death of a brain cell when their blood supply is interrupted is called?
The sudden death of a brain cell when its blood supply is interrupted is called a stroke. Strokes can result from either a blockage of blood flow (ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke), leading to brain cell damage and potentially permanent neurological deficits.
In what organ of the human body does a stroke occur?
ANY part ... up to and including the whole thing. (For what it is worth, my stroke affected only the sensory strip associated with my left side, thus the stroke occurred on the right side and slightly posterior to the vertical mid-line of my brain.)
If someone had a stroke and could not use the right side of their body what part of the brain had the stroke?
If someone had a stroke and could not use the right side of their body, the stroke likely occurred in the left side of their brain. This is because nerve fibers in the brain cross over, meaning the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.
Is a stroke Disruption Of The Blood Supply Causing Death Of Parts Of The Brain?
A stroke is a disruption of the blood supply causing death of parts of the brain. A stroke is known in medical terms as a cerebrovascular accident.
What cells are affected if you have stroke?
It tends to be yyour brain that is affected by a stroke when it is starved of oxygen
How can a stroke kill you?
Yes a stroke can kill you. A stroke happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain. When there is no blood, there is no oxygen and the brain cells start to die, causing a stroke or death of brain tissue. Where in the brain the stroke happens and how long the brain goes without blood can make a difference as to how bad the stroke is.
After a stroke is there bleeding at the mouth and nose?
Normally, no. A stroke is internal bleeding (in the brain) and not external.
