A)Strokes may be ischemic, occurring when the blood supply to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted by a thrombus (blood clot), embolus (foreign matter traveling through the circulation), or stenosis (narrowing); or they may be hemorrhagic, occurring when a blood vessel breaks open and spills blood into spaces surrounding neurons. Intracerebral and subarachnoid are two types of hemorrhagic stroke.
