Stroke Report

A stroke occurs when there's a problem with the amount of blood in your brain. The cause of the main type of stroke — ischemic stroke — is too little blood circulating in the brain. The cause of the other type of stroke — hemorrhagic stroke — is too much blood within the skull due to bleeding.
