The middle cerebral artery is the one most commonly blocked (occluded) in a stroke.
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.
Burst blood vessel in the brain
Hemorrhagic stroke.
Stroke
Heart, neck, or brain. It can also be a blood vessel
A stroke occurs when there is a blocked vessel in the brain. If there is a blockage, no oxygen will pass through, thus a stroke occurs. It's not a heart disease nor is it a disorder.
A hyperextended blood vessel could cause a stroke
cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
An enlargement or dilation of blood vessel wall is called an aneurysm
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.

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.
