What is an Ischemic Stroke?
Ischemic stroke occurs when a vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed. It accounts for
about 87 percent of all strokes.

Cerebral
thrombosis is a
thrombus (blood clot)
that develops at the
fatty plaque within
the blood vessel.
 Cerebral embolism: is a
blood clot that forms at
another location in the
circulatory system, usually
the heart and large arteries
of the upper chest and neck.
Part of the blood clot breaks
loose, enters the bloodstream
and travels through the
brain’s blood vessels until it
reaches vessels too small to
let it pass. A main cause of
embolism is an irregular
heartbeat called atrial
fibrillation. It can cause clots
to form in the heart, dislodge
and travel to the brain.

Hemorrhagic Stroke results from a weakened vessel that

ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain. The blood
accumulates and compresses the surrounding brain tissue. The two
types of hemorrhagic strokes:
1. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and
2. intracerebral hemorrhage.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) occurs when a blood vessel on the
surface of the brain ruptures and bleeds into the space between the
brain and the skull. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when a
blood vessel bleeds into the tissue deep within the brain.
