A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. The good news is that strokes can be treated and prevented, and many fewer die of stroke now than in the past.

Symptoms

• Trouble with speaking and understanding.
• Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg
• Trouble with seeing in one or both eyes
• Headache
• Trouble with walking

Causes

A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Some people may experience only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain (transient ischemic attack, or TIA) that doesn’t cause permanent damage.

Ischemic stroke

Thrombotic stroke
Embolic stroke

Hemorrhagic stroke

Intracerebral hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Transient ischemic attack (TIA)

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) — sometimes known as a ministroke — is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those you’d have in a stroke. A temporary decrease in blood supply to part of your brain causes TIAs, which may last as little as five minutes.
