Patient's question:
Stroke, stiffness, cold.Doctor's answer:
A stroke, also known as a cerebral stroke, refers to an acute cerebrovascular disease. Because its onset is often sudden, it is also called a "cerebrovascular accident." Any disease that causes impaired brain circulation and damage to brain tissue function or structure due to blood vessel blockage or rupture can be referred to as a stroke. The functional impairment caused by a stroke in the human body is determined by the location and extent of brain damage.
