The blockage of an artery in the brain by a clot (thrombosis) is the most common cause of a stroke. The part of the brain that is supplied by the clotted blood vessel is then deprived of blood and oxygen. As a result of the deprived blood and oxygen, the cells of that part of the brain die. Typically, a clot forms in a small blood vessel within the brain that has been previously narrowed due to a variety of risk factors including:
It could also be caused by a hole in the heart which is called a PFO. Then a blood clot can go through the hole and up to the brain. I would know. It happened to me.
Ischemic strokes occur due to blood vessels becoming blocked while hemorrhagic strokes are the result of broken blood vessels in or near the brain.

Compression/Exhaust.
A hemorrhagic stroke relates to your brain. Strokes can occur in large or vast amounts (small usually referred to mini stroke). Strokes all take place in the brain. Some people usually think strokes are heart related.
two-thirds of strokes occur in people over age 65 but they can occur at any age
Three mechanisms for crustal thickening are magmatic intrusion, sedimentation, and faulting.
The number of strokes that occur each year varies but estimates suggest that around 15 million people worldwide experience a stroke annually. It is one of the leading causes of death and disability globally. Improving awareness, prevention, and access to healthcare can help reduce the incidence of strokes.
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), or strokes, can be caused by two primary mechanisms: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed, often due to a blood clot, atherosclerosis, or embolism. Hemorrhagic strokes arise from the rupture of a blood vessel, leading to bleeding in or around the brain, often due to high blood pressure, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Additional risk factors include diabetes, smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol.
