Body was changed:

Stroke is a clinical diagnosis that refers to a sudden onset focal neurological deficit of presumed vascular origin.

It is divided into two broad categories:

  1. ischaemic stroke  (80% 2)
  2. haemorrhagic stroke (15%)

Haemorrhage may be due to hypertension or other secondary causes such as vascular malformations.

Other causes of stroke-like symptoms include subarachnoid haemorrhage and tumours (via intra-tumouralintratumoural haemorrhage or secondary seizures).
