A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery or a blood vessel breaks, blocking blood flow to the brain; brain cells begin to die and brain damage occurs. On the other hand, when someone "faints" they do have a decreased blood flow to the brain, but it is caused by a temporary unconsciousness.
