What Is Cerebrovascular Disease?
Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) occurs when a part of the brain does not receive enough blood. There are two main types of this condition:
- Ischemic Stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel is blocked, usually by a blood clot.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, leading to bleeding.
Symptoms
Symptoms of cerebrovascular disease may include:
- Severe headache of unknown origin.
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the body, often in the face, arm, or leg.
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech.
- Visual disturbances in one or both eyes.
- Loss of balance or coordination.
Causes
Risk factors for cerebrovascular disease include:
- High blood pressure.
- Diabetes.
- Smoking.
- High cholesterol.
- Family history of cerebrovascular disease.
Treatment
Treatment for cerebrovascular disease depends on the type of stroke. For ischemic stroke, clot-dissolving medications may be used. In the case of hemorrhagic stroke, surgery may be necessary to repair the blood vessel.
