Stroke is a medical emergency that happens when a blood clot blocks an artery, or a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. When blood flow is interrupted, brain cells begin to die and the resulting damage can lead to paralysis or loss of ability to speak. This animation discusses the types of stroke, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, medications, surgery and endovascular treatment. Recovery, rehabilitation and self-care are also explained.
