What is the difference between an ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke?

The ischemic stroke means that there is lack of blood flow (due to a clot) to part of the brain causing that part to lose cells. The hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel breaks and it causes bleeding. About 90% are ischemic strokes.
In the second type, oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood is prevented from reaching the brain cells beyond the point of rupture. In addition, leaked blood can irritate and harm the brain cells in the areas where it accumulates. This can make this type more deadly.

What are the different types of Stroke?
There are two major kinds of stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke a blood vessel becomes blocked, usually by a blood clot and a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain burst and spills blood into the brain. When this happens, a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning.
