Treatment of Brain Stroke by Neurology Doctor

The major neurological disorders that they treat include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), migraine, epilepsy, and concussion. When there are related symptoms, you need to consult with the best neurology doctor in Odisha for best medical care.

What is STROKE?

Stroke normally means brain stroke. It happens when the supply of blood to the brain suddenly stops or is blocked. Stoke is an alarming situation and has to be treated immediately by the best neurology doctor in Odisha.

In stroke conditions, as there is a lack of supply of blood to the brain, it results in brain cell death and reduces the functioning of the brain. When there is a lack of supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, the brain cells begin to die within few minutes.

The death of brain cells causes a reduction in brain functioning and considerable impairments in speech, mobility, thinking and memory, and other bodily activities like paralysis and in some cases also death. Brain Stroke is said to be the 4th biggest cause of death behind the heart, lungs, and all types of cancer.

Types of Stroke

The stroke is caused by a thrombosis (clotting of blood), hemorrhage (bleeding) or embolism (blockage). Of course, these strokes can be classified into two main categories:

1.      Ischemic strokes

2.      Hemorrhagic strokes

The research shows that 85% of strokes are Ischemic in nature and the rest 15% belong to Hemorrhagic. Neumed Center For Neurology, a leading neurology clinic in Bhubaneswar offers top-class treatments.

 

Ischemic strokes are the byproduct of blockage in an artery. When the blood with oxygen and nutrients is chocked, the brain cells begin to die within minutes.  Ischemic strokes are of two types:

1.      Thrombotic strokes: These strokes arise due to the clotting of blood. It is created in the blood vessels of the brain.

2.      Embolic strokes: These strokes arise due to the clotting of blood or plaque debris. These develop somewhere else inside the body and then travel to the blood vessels of the brain through the bloodstream.
