What is the cause of cerebrovascular accident?
A cerebrovascular accident, or stroke, is typically caused by a disruption in blood flow to the brain. This can occur due to a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a leak or rupture in a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Other factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation can also increase the risk of stroke.
Rupture of a vessel in the cerebrum?
A rupture of a vessel in the cerebrum can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, where bleeding occurs within the brain tissue. This can result in symptoms such as sudden severe headache, neurological deficits, and potentially life-threatening complications if not promptly treated. Treatment may involve stabilizing the patient, controlling bleeding, and addressing any underlying causes such as high blood pressure.
What is a swollen blood vessel in your brain?
A swollen blood vessel in the brain is called a brain aneurysm. It is a potentially life-threatening condition where a weakened area in a blood vessel in the brain balloons and fills with blood. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause a hemorrhagic stroke.
Is Stroke contagious?
No, it is not contagious.
What cause the stroke?
There are many causes of a stroke. Here are a few of them: High blood pressure mainly occurs when the heart starts to work harder to circulate the blood throughout the body. So when this occurs, there are chances of damage occurring to brain and heart. High Blood pressure may lead to stroke if the blood is not brought down to normal. Diabetic patients are prone to strokes because most of the patients get affected with hypertension, heart attacks or higher cholesterol. Any one of these may prone the patient to getting a stroke.

A what usually invalves a rupture or a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain?
A stroke can be caused by bleeding on the brain.
Which term describes what happens when a blood vessel in th ebrain leaks or rupture?
cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
What are two conditions that can cause a stroke?
blockage of vessel, or rupture of vessel.
If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
What is the definition of a stroke?
A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain damage. This interruption can be caused by a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Strokes can result in various symptoms, such as weakness on one side of the body, speech difficulties, and altered mental status.
Why does a person suffer from stroke?
A stroke occurs when there is a disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell damage. This can happen due to a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, and certain heart conditions. Prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes.
What is the difference between a stroke and a subdural hematoma?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to cell death. A subdural hematoma, on the other hand, is a collection of blood between the brain and its outermost covering (the dura mater), often caused by head trauma. Both can lead to neurological symptoms, but a stroke is due to a blood vessel blockage or rupture in the brain, while a subdural hematoma is blood collecting outside the brain tissue.
Why do children have strokes?
Anybody can have a stroke. A stroke is a failure of a blood vessel in the brain, whether by rupture or clot. Older people are more at risk from strokes (lifestyle, degeneration etc) but young people, through trauma or congenital predisposition, can be vulnerable too.
What's Stroke?
Burst blood vessel in the brain
What condition is caused by the extreme leaking or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain?
This is a stroke - and today there are 10 levels of a stroke - starting with 3 levers of a TIA (transient ischemic attack). TIA's never leave permenant damage. There are 4 levels of a TIA - and 6 levels of a stroke - from mild to a level 10 stroke in which you are dead before you hit the ground (a major blood vein has burst in your brain).
What is the sac formed by dilatation of a vessel wall in the cerebral artery called?
This is called aneurysm. It is not strong and can rupture causing a stroke.
What stroke is damage that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures?
Hemorrhagic stroke.
