Stroke
Stroke (or cerebrovascular accident (CVA)) is the clinical designation for a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to an interruption in the blood supply to all or part of the brain. This phenomenon can be caused by thrombosis, embolism, or hemorrhage. In medicine the process of being struck down by a stroke, fit or faint is sometimes called an ictus [cerebri], from the Latin icere ("to strike"), especially prior to the definitive diagnosis being made.
