CVA or cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as stroke, is caused by a loss of blood supply to the brain. This results in an infarct or an area of dead tissue. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) affects the motor neuron cells in the brain and spinal cord, but does not cause infarcts. SCI (spinal cord injury) affects the spinal cord and does not always involve the brain, so it does not necessarily result in an infarct. MS (multiple sclerosis) is a demyelinating disorder that affects the central nervous system, but does not involve complete loss of blood supply to the brain.
