progressive irreversible brain disorders characterized by intellectual and cognitive disturbances. a type of senile dementia
Cerebrovascular Accident
Focal neurologic disorder caused by destruction of brain substance because of intracerebral hemorrhage, thrombosis, embolism or vascular insufficiency
AKA: Stroke
Sudden loss of brain function resulting from interference of the blood supply to a part of the brain
