What else can I help you with?
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.
Blockage of what artery impairs the flow of blood to the brain?
The Carotid artery
What are some of the causes of a mini stroke?
The cause of a mini stroke is the blockage of blood flow to the brain. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Blood flow can be disrupted by blood clots or cholesterol plagues. The correct term for mini stroke is transient ischemic attack.
Can a person die from a blood clot in the brain and a skull fracture?
A blood clot in the brain can easily lead to death, especially if it were to burst; that is called a brain aneurism. And skull fractures can cause bleeding to occur and damaging of brain tissues, which too can cause fatalities. However, both can be treated with medical attention.
What sudden illness is usually caused by a blockage of blood flow in the brain?
That is called a stroke.
What is ischemic stroke?
A "stroke" is an illness of the brain, the equivalent of a heart attack. There are two general types of strokes. An "ischemic" stroke or a "transient ischemic attack" is a blockage of the flow of blood within the brain. This is typically caused by a blood clot within the brain. If small enough, in a "TIA", the clot is washed away or dissolved, with little aftereffects. A larger or longer-lasting blockage can cause substantial death of brain tissue. The other type is a "hemmorhagic" stroke, in which a blood vessel bursts and blood leaks into the brain.
Can a blockage in the carotid cause nausea?
If the blockage is impinging on the vagus nerve, yes a blockage in the carotid artery can cause nausea. However, most common signs would include feeling faint, difficulty thinking (particularly for complicated or long-term tasks) and lack of energy.

Can pain medication cause blood clots in your brain?

Does paranoia lead to a stroke?
Paranoia does not lead to a stroke. A stroke is defined as a blockage of the blood supply to the brain. Usually due to a blood clot.
Can trauma cause an infarct in the brain?
Yes. Infarction is a state of tissue death due to no blood supply to that area. A trauma to any area of the body can cause the obstruction of blood flow to that area, hence causing an infarction. Though the brain is heavily protected, brain infarction can occur.
What artery is clogged if you have a stroke?
A stroke is when a clot causes a thrombus (blockage of flow of blood) in the veins of the brain. The brain has multiple arteries that supply it with oxygen.
