Ischemic stroke occurs due to blockage of blood flow and narrowing of a cerebral artery, and is usually caused by the deposition of blood lipids and the formation of blood clots. These clots may occur for the following reasons: - - - Atherosclerosis (accumulation of fat and plaque in the walls of the arteries) - Blood clotting disorders - Cerebral embolism - Atrial fibrillation - Heart defects - Microvascular ischemic disease - Parkinson's disease - Neurological diseases and brain injuries ### Hemorrhagic stroke This type of stroke occurs due to the rupture of blood vessels in the brain and leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues.
