Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell damage. There are two main types: ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot that blocks a vessel, and hemorrhagic stroke, resulting from a ruptured blood vessel. Paralysis often follows a stroke, affecting one side of the body, depending on the area of the brain affected. Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol. Other causes can include trauma, infections, and certain medical conditions that disrupt blood flow or lead to clot formation, resulting in significant neurological impairment and loss of function.
