In the nervous system
01 · Where it sits

Parietal lobe

Sensation, spatial awareness and body position. Stroke & Paralysis is usually associated with this part of the nervous system.

A broad teaching association, not a diagnosis. A symptom in one area very often originates somewhere else entirely, and only a neurological examination can establish where.

Ischaemic

A vessel is blocked, usually by a clot. The territory it supplies is cut off — shown here in blue — and begins to fail within minutes.

Haemorrhagic

A vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain. The damage comes from the blood itself and from the pressure it creates.

Which part of the brain a stroke affects depends on the vessel involved, which is why these show the mechanism rather than a single region. Both are emergencies and both look the same from outside — only a scan tells them apart, and the treatments differ.Illustrations: Servier Medical Art, licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Understanding Stroke & Paralysis

Thrombotic Stroke: A stroke caused by a blood clot forming in an artery supplying the brain.

Embolic Stroke: A blood clot or other material travels from another part of the body to the brain.

Hemorrhagic Stroke: Occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Bleeding occurs within the brain tissue.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Bleeding occurs in the space surrounding the brain.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): A temporary episode of stroke-like symptoms requiring urgent medical assessment.
