A Stroke is the result of a sudden decrease in the flow of blood to an area of the brain. When blood cannot reach the brain cells become deprived of oxygen and die. Consequently, functions normally controlled by the damaged brain area become impaired. For example, paralysis of certain body parts may occur. The interruption in blood flow can be due to blockage from a blood clot or narrowed artery in the head or neck or to the bursting of an artery in the brain.
