Brain Clots: A Silent Threat

 A brain clot, also known as a stroke, occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. This can lead to brain cell damage and serious neurological deficits.



Types of Brain Clots

Ischemic Stroke: This is the most common type of stroke, caused by a blockage in a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain.

Hemorrhagic Stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding.

Risk Factors for Stroke

High Blood Pressure

High Cholesterol

Heart Disease

Diabetes

Smoking

Family History of Stroke

Age

Symptoms of Stroke

Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body

Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding

Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes   

Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

Sudden severe headache   

Early Detection and Treatment

Early detection and prompt medical attention are crucial for minimizing brain damage. If you or someone you know experiences stroke symptoms, seek immediate medical help.

Dr. Vamshi, a renowned neurosurgeon, is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating stroke patients. He offers comprehensive care, including:

  • Advanced Diagnostic Techniques

  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures

  • Rehabilitation Services

By recognizing the signs of stroke and seeking prompt medical attention, you can increase your chances of recovery and reduce the long-term impact of this debilitating condition.

It can cause a wide range of symptoms, including,   numbness, weakness, vision problems, and fatigue  Understanding Multiple Sclerosis In MS, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, a protective layer that covers nerve fibers. This damage can disrupt the communication between the brain and the body, leading to various neurological symptoms. Types of Multiple Sclerosis Relapsing-Remitting MS: Periods of new symptoms or relapses are followed by periods of recovery or remission. Primary Progressive MS: A progressive worsening of symptoms over time. Secondary Progressive MS: Relapsing-remitting MS that progresses into a steadily worsening course.

Causes of Sciatica: Several factors can contribute to sciatica, including: Herniated disc: The most common culprit, where the soft inner cushion of a spinal disc protrudes and presses on the sciatic nerve. Spinal stenosis: A narrowing of...
