Four Types Of Stroke
STROKE
By: Courtney Evans
WHAT IS A STROKE?
A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food.
AREAS AFFECTED
Depending on the type of stroke, different areas of the brain will be affected, but generally speaking if the frontal lobe is affected ones motor skills, higher processing, speech, and planning will be affected. If the parietal lobe is affected ones association areas and attention areas will be affected. If the occipital lobe is affected ones vision would be affected. If the temporal lobe was affected ones memory and emotions would be affected as well.
TYPES OF STROKE
There are four different types of stroke,

A TIA will produce stroke like symptoms but will not cause any lasting damage.
The second is a Thrombotic. It is the most common in middle aged and elderly people. This type of stroke results from an obstruction of in the extra cerebral vessels, but it can be intracerebral. This type of stroke allots for 87% of stroke patients.

The
third type is an Embolic stroke and it is the second most common type of stroke, and also the second most severe type. This type of stroke is the result of an occlusion of a blood vessel which can result from a fragmented clot, a tumor, fat, bacteria, or air. This stroke is not limited to any particular age group.
The third type of stroke is a Hemorrhagic and it is also the most severe type, but luckily it is the type that least occurs. It can be caused from hypertension, or aneurysms, which cause a sudden rupture of a cerebral artery. This type of stroke can also occur at any age.
