A clot in a cerebral artery resulting in stroke.
The formation or presence of blood clots in an artery inside the brain, which may cause a stroke by cutting off the blood supply to part of the brain.
A clot or thrombus that forms in and blocks an artery in the brain. When the clot completely blocks the artery, cutting off blood and oxygen to the brain, brain cells die and a stroke occurs. This can cause permanent damage to that area of the brain or death. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
The occurrence of a thrombus (blood clot) inside an artery located within the brain can lead to significant consequences. This clot has the potential to obstruct the artery, causing a disruption in the delivery of blood, essential nutrients, and oxygen to the specific area of the brain tissue that depends on the affected artery. Consequently, this issue may result in a stroke.
A blockage in a brain blood vessel, also commonly known as a stroke.
