Stroke Causes

A stroke can happen in two main ways: Something blocks the flow of blood, or something causes bleeding in the brain. There are two main causes of strokes:

Ischaemic (accounting for over 82% of all cases): the blood supply is stopped due to a blood clot

Haemorrhagic: a weakened blood vessel supplying the brain bursts and causes brain damage

There is also a related condition known as a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), where the supply of blood to the brain is temporarily interrupted, causing a 'mini-stroke'.

  • Thrombotic stroke
  • Embolic stroke
  • Cerebral hypoperfusion
  • Venous thrombosis
  • Intracerebral hemorrhage
  • Silent stroke
