Cerebrovascular Disorders

Cerebrovascular disorders are medical conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain. The most common types are strokes, which occur when a blood vessel is blocked (ischemic stroke) or bursts (hemorrhagic stroke), leading to brain damage. Other disorders include transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), often called "mini-strokes," which involve temporary blockages. These conditions can cause symptoms like sudden weakness, trouble speaking, or loss of balance. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes. Early detection and treatment are crucial for minimizing brain damage and improving outcomes.
