This is what happens during a stroke.
What you’re seeing are two different types of stroke—both affecting blood flow to the brain, but in very different ways.
On the left is an ischemic stroke.
This happens when a blood vessel becomes blocked:
• Blood flow stops
• Oxygen can’t reach brain tissue
• Cells begin to die
On the right is a hemorrhagic stroke.
This happens when a blood vessel ruptures:
• Blood leaks into the brain
• Pressure builds
• Surrounding tissue is damaged
From this view, you can clearly see:
• A blocked artery cutting off supply
• A ruptured vessel causing bleeding
• Two different pathways leading to brain injury
This isn’t just one condition.
It’s two life-threatening processes affecting the brain in different ways.
Symptoms can include:
• Sudden weakness on one side
• Difficulty speaking
• Facial drooping
• Loss of coordination
And timing is critical.
Because:
• The longer the brain is without oxygen
• The more permanent damage occurs
This is a stroke—either from a blocked artery or a ruptured vessel—and both require immediate medical attention.
