🧠Un derrame cerebral ocurre cuando el flujo sanguíneo al cerebro se interrumpe por la rotura o bloqueo de un vaso sanguíneo.
🧠Puede ser hemorrágico, cuando un vaso se rompe y la sangre se derrama en el tejido cerebral, o isquémico, cuando un vaso está bloqueado por arterias angostadas o un coágulo.
🔍 Síntomas comunes de un derrame cerebral
🧠Los síntomas de un derrame cerebral aparecen repentinamente e incluyen dolor de cabeza intenso, entumecimiento o debilidad en un lado del cuerpo, confusión, dificultad para hablar, problemas de visión, mareo y pérdida del equilibrio.
🛠️ Diagnóstico y evaluación
🧠Para diagnosticar un derrame cerebral, se utilizan estudios como tomografía (TAC) o resonancia magnética (RMN), junto con análisis de sangre, electrocardiogramas, ultrasonido de la carótida y angiografía cerebral para identificar su tipo, ubicación y causa.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted as a result of a broken or blocked blood vessel. The stroke can be hemorrhagic or ischemic.
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures allowing blood to spill through the brain.
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries blood to the brain becomes blocked or restricted due to severely narrowed arteries or a blood clot.
Because treatment depends on the type of stroke, a head CT or MRI of the head may be used to help diagnose your condition.
Other tests may include blood tests, electrocardiograms (ECG or EKG), carotid ultrasound, echocardiogram, or cerebral angiography. Immediate stroke treatment can help save lives and reduce disability by restoring blood flow (in the case of an ischemic stroke) or by controlling bleeding and reducing pressure in the brain (in the case of an ischemic stroke). hemorrhagic stroke).
What is a stroke?
A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to a part of the brain is interrupted by the presence of a blood vessel that is blocked or ruptured. Brain cells that do not receive a constant supply of oxygenated blood can die, causing permanent brain damage.
There are two types of stroke: hemorrhagic and ischemic.
A hemorrhagic stroke It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is ruptured or damaged, thus allowing blood to escape to the brain.
A ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries blood to the brain is blocked or restricted due to marked narrowing of the arteries or a thickened mass of blood called blood clot.
Blocked arteries: Fat, cholesterol, and other substances can build up on the walls of your blood vessels. Over time, these substances harden and form structures called license plate. The accumulation of fatty deposits and plaque clogs the arteries, narrowing the passage for blood.
Blood clots: When a clot forms in a blood vessel cerebral who is already very thin, then the stroke is called thrombotic stroke. When a blood clot that has formed in other parts of the body breaks off and travels to a blood vessel in the brain, the result is a embolic stroke, or cerebral embolism. An embolic stroke can also be the result of an air bubble or other foreign substance in the blood that moves into and blocks a cerebral blood vessel.
