A stroke is a critical medical condition that occurs when blood supply to a specific part of the brain is interrupted, causing brain cell damage or death. There are two primary types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a blockage in blood vessels, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding in or around the brain.
Immediate diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes. Advances in stroke research have led to better diagnostic tools, thrombolytic therapies, and rehabilitation techniques, helping to enhance patient recovery. Stroke prevention, early detection, and effective rehabilitation continue to be key areas of focus in neurology.
