Cerebrovascular Diseases

Cerebrovascular disease is a problem that occurs when the blood supply to the brain gets blocked. Basically there are several types of Cerebrovascular Diseases and they are;

1) Brain attack or Stroke

2) Mini stroke or TIA

3) Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

4) Vascular Dementia

Brain Attack or Stroke: Stroke can happen to anyone one at any time. Strokes are caused because of the blood supply to the brain gets blocked and the brain cells starve for oxygen and if they didn’t get oxygen then the brain cells begins to die. If the stroke is massive then one side of the brain will get paralyzed.

Mini Stroke or Tia: They said to be the “warning stokes” which should be considered very seriously. This temporary stroke is caused by the blood clot. This stroke will not do any permanent damage to the brain like a brain attack. Mni stroke will last for 3 to 5 minutes.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage:  It is a bleeding happens in the Subarachnoid region of the brain. Headache,  Neck pain, Blurred vision, Nausea etc. are some of the common symptom of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Vascular Dementia: Is one of the most common type of Dementia. Vascular dementia is caused due to the impaired blood supply to the human brain.
