What is this Condition?

Ischemic stroke occurs when a brain blood vessel is blocked by a clot or atherosclerotic plaque, causing brain tissue damage due to lack of blood supply. It accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes. 'Time is brain' - millions of neurons are lost every minute. Treatment within the first 4.5 hours increases success rates.

Diagnosis Methods

Emergency brain CT rules out bleeding. MR diffusion detects early ischemia. CT or MR angiography identifies the blocked vessel.

Treatment Methods

IV thrombolysis (clot-dissolving medication) within first 4.5 hours; mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions.
