A stroke occurs when there is a disruption in blood supply to the brain, either due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
This interruption can lead to brain cell death and result in various neurological impairments. Common symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding language, vision problems, and loss of balance. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as quick treatment can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term disability.
Rehabilitation may be necessary for recovery, depending on the severity of the stroke and the areas of the brain affected.
