What is a Brain Stroke?

A brain stroke, also known as a brain attack, is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood flow to the brain is stopped.

The brain is one of the most vital organs of the body that requires a constant oxygen supply and nutrients for it to work well. If the blood supply to the brain is stopped for even a short time, it may lead to life-threatening problems. The brain cells began dying after a few minutes of no blood or oxygen supply.

This leads to the loss of brain function and a person is unable to do things controlled by that portion of the brain, for example, the individual may lose the ability to speak, move, eat, think, remember, control bladder and bowel movements, control emotions, and control other important body functions.

A brain stroke can happen to anyone at any given time. The sooner a patient with a brain stroke receives treatment, the better the chances of preventing complications and improving survival.

Types of Brain Stroke

The type of stroke a person has will determine the treatment and recovery process. A brain stroke may be classified into the following different types:

Ischemic Stroke

It is the most common type of stroke and accounts for about 80 to 85% of all brain strokes.

This condition occurs due to the blockage of a blood vessel that supplies the brain, usually due to a blood clot. This blockage restricts the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the brain, causing brain cell damage or death.

Ischemic can be further divided into the following subtypes:

- Embolic stroke: It occurs when a blood clot, plaque piece, or another object is formed in a different body part and travels to the blood vessels of the brain.
- Thrombotic stroke: It develops when a clot or thrombus forms inside the brain’s blood vessel.

Hemorrhagic Stroke

This type of stroke develops when a blood vessel present in the brain ruptures or leaks, leading to bleeding around or within the brain. This bleeding puts pressure on the brain and may lead to the death or damage of brain cells.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

It is also known as a mini-stroke. It refers to a temporary disruption of the blood flow to the brain, producing symptoms similar to a stroke. The condition is caused by the temporary blockage of a blood vessel, but this blockage usually resolves within 24 hours.

Although a TIA may not lead to permanent damage, it is an important warning sign and indicates an increased risk of a full stroke occurring in the future.

Causes and Risk Factors for Brain Stroke

Ischemic strokes develop due to the blockage of a blood vessel by a blood clot and usually occur due to the following conditions:

Atherosclerosis
Clotting disorders
Atrial fibrillation

Heart defects
Microvascular ischemic disease

Hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptures and may occur in the following conditions:

Brain tumors
Brain aneurysms

High blood pressure
Moyamoya disease

Certain factors could increase the risk of having a brain stroke, including the following:

Age of more than 55 years
Taking hormone therapies or birth control pills
More common in men, but more women die from stroke
Use of recreational drugs
Alcoholic individual
COVID-19

High blood pressure
Type 2 diabetes
High cholesterol
Frequent migraine headaches
Obesity or being overweight
Family history of stroke
Previous history of stroke or TIA

Although stroke can occur in any individual, understanding its risk factors can help reduce the likelihood of its occurrence or recurrence.

Symptoms of Brain Stroke

A brain stroke may lead to different symptoms depending on which area of the brain it affects. Some common symptoms associated with a brain stroke include:

Aphasia (problems in speaking or complete speech loss)
Blurred vision or double vision (diplopia)
Confusion
Dizziness or vertigo
Agitation
Severe and sudden headaches
Coma
Loss of muscle control on one side of the face
Memory loss or amnesia
Clumsiness or loss of coordination (ataxia)

Mood swings
Sudden change in personality
Nausea
Vomiting
Seizures
Neck stiffness
Fainting
Garbled or slurred speech (dysarthria)
Sudden worsening or loss of senses, including hearing, smell, taste, vision, and touch
Paralysis or weakness on one side of the face or body

You can recognize the warning signs of stroke in your loved one or acquaintance by remembering the acronym BE FAST, which includes the following symptoms:

Balance: Check for sudden loss of balance.
Eyes: Check for changes in one or both eyes and sudden vision loss.
Face: Look for a droop on smiling on one or both sides of the face.
Arms: Check for sagging or dropping of one arm on raising both arms.
Speech: Look for slurred speech.
Time: Call for help immediately and try to track the time when symptoms start to know which treatment options are the best.

Brain Stroke Diagnosis

Physical examination: The doctor will check for signs of stroke, like numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, speech or vision problems, etc.
Neurological examination: The doctor will evaluate consciousness, speech, coordination, muscle strength, and reflexes.
CT (computed tomography) scan: A rapid imaging test to detect bleeding in the brain and differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain: It provides detailed images of brain tissue and can detect smaller or deeper infarcts that a CT scan might miss.
CT angiography (CTA): It uses contrast dye and CT imaging to visualize blood vessels in the brain and neck, helping detect blockages or aneurysms.
MR angiography (MRA): A non-invasive MRI-based test that evaluates arteries in the brain and neck for narrowing, clots, or other vascular abnormalities.
Carotid Doppler ultrasound: It involves the use of sound waves to assess blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck and identify narrowing or blockages.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): Checks for irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation, which can cause embolic strokes.
Echocardiogram: It is an ultrasound of the heart used to detect clots, valve problems, or structural heart defects that could lead to stroke.
Blood tests: They help identify contributing risk factors or complications of stroke.
Chest X-ray: It is used to evaluate heart size, lung status, or infections that may complicate stroke management.

Treatment Procedure for Brain Stroke at SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad

At SGVP Holistic Hospital, we offer top brain stroke treatment in Ahmedabad, tailored to the type and severity of the stroke a person has. The various treatment options offered include:

Treatment for ischemic stroke

Thrombolytic therapy: Medications like alteplase or tenecteplase are administered intravenously to dissolve the blood clots and restore blood flow. It is most effective when given within 3 to 4.5 hours of onset of the stroke symptoms.
Mechanical thrombectomy: In cases of large blood vessel blockages, a catheter-based procedure could be used to remove the clot, usually up to 24 hours after symptom onset.
Medications: Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs may be used to prevent further blood clotting and reduce the risk of recurrent strokes.
Blood pressure management: Medications could be given to lower the blood pressure, especially in patients with hypertension, which is a major risk factor for stroke.
Other treatments: Oxygen supplementation, IV fluids, and vasopressors could be used to improve the blood flow and oxygenation to the brain.

Treatment for hemorrhagic shock

Emergency measures: The bleeding is stopped, and blood thinners are counteracted, if the patient is taking them.
Medications: Medications may be given to control blood pressure, reduce swelling, and prevent seizures.
Surgical interventions: Surgical treatment options may include:

Clipping: Aneurysms (weakened blood vessels) may be clipped to prevent further bleeding.
Coiling: Coils are inserted into the aneurysm to block the blood flow and prevent re-bleeding.
Surgical AVM removal: Tangled blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation or AVM) may be surgically removed.
Decompressive craniectomy: In severe cases, a portion of the skull may be removed to relieve pressure from swelling.

Rehabilitation

Physical therapy: Helps regain movement, balance, and coordination.
Occupational therapy: Focuses on improving daily life skills like eating, dressing, and bathing.
Speech therapy: Helps improve communication and swallowing difficulties.
Cognitive therapy: Helps with memory, problem-solving, and attention.

Long-term management

Lifestyle changes: A healthy diet, regular exercise, and stopping smoking can reduce stroke risk.
Medications: Long-term medications may be prescribed to prevent future strokes.
