A cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell damage. This can happen due to an ischemic event, where a blood clot obstructs a blood vessel, or a hemorrhagic event, where a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain. The lack of oxygen and nutrients from the disrupted blood supply causes neurological deficits, which can vary depending on the area of the brain affected. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to minimize damage and improve recovery outcomes.
