Solutions
a thrombolic stroke., - is due to injury to a blood vessel which
leads to a clot formation, resulting in a narrowing of the lumen,
which blocks the passage of the blood through the artery.
Correct Answer a thrombolic stroke., - is the Most common
cause of a stroke., is Associated with hypertension & diabetes.,
the Extent depends on Rapid onset, size of lesion & presence of
collateral circulation., with max deficits reached in 3 days.
an embolic stoke., - is a clot or other debris that circulates in the
blood & results in lodging, & occluding, a cerebral artery.,
which Results in infarction & edema of the area supplied by the
involved vessel. Correct Answer an embolic stoke., - is Related
to A. fib, myocardial infarction (MI), infective endocarditis (IE),
valvular prostheses, & rheumatic.

an acute C.N.S. injury that results in neurologic signs &
symptoms brought on by a reduction or absence of perfusion to
a territory of the brain. Correct Answer disruption in flow is
from either an occlusion or rupture of the blood vessel.

the brain that is formed by the cerebral & communicating
arteries., & is a site of aneurysms. Correct Answer the circle of
willis., - is Made up of the middle cerebral artery.,
communicating arteries, basilar artery, anterior cerebral, & the
vertebral artery
