CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT
Illustration of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) caused by ischemia. Ischemic accidents are due to the occlusion of a cerebral artery, or one leading to the brain (internal or vertebral carotids). The brain is therefore partially deprived of oxygen and glucose. This occlusion leads to a cerebral infarction. This occlusion is mainly caused by an obstructive atheroma or a clot (formed locally or by embolism).
