1
Type of ischemic stroke that occurs when a thrombus forms and interrupts the blood flow in the brain
Thrombotic
An occlusion of blood vessel within the brain, usually due to atherosclerosis
Thrombus
Buildup of fatty materials that accumulates slowly on the walls of arteries, causing the narrowing and restriction of blood to the arteries
Atherosclerosis
Type of ischemic stroke that occurs when an embolus lodges within a blood vessel inside the brain and cuts off blood supply
Embolic
A mass traveling through the circulatory system
Embolus
A thrombus can become an ______ if a piece of the thrombus breaks off, travels, and lodges within a vessel to interrupt circulation within the brain
Embolus
Small ischemia in the brain that resolves itself within 24 hours, symptoms can include mild motor and cognitive deficits that go away after the blood clot is resolved
Transient ischemic attack
True or false: Transient ischemic attacks may be a warning sign of a larger oncoming stroke
True
Type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and deprives the brain of blood flow
Hemorrhagic stroke
What are the risk factors for hemorrhagic strokes?
Hypertension, engagement in high physical activity, history of hemorrhagic stroke, alcohol abuse
Hemorrhagic stroke that occurs when there is a bleed between the surface of the cerebrum and the skull
Subarachnoid
