Stroke is a common disorder of older age group but can occur in young age also. Stroke is of two types, Ischemic type and hemorrhage type. In ischemic stroke, some blood vessels supplying the brain are blocked by thrombus, causing failed blood supply to some brain tissue and its dies within few minutes. In hemorrhagic stroke, some vessels are ruptured and blood gets collect in brain tissue, Ischemic stroke is more common than hemorrhagic stroke and also carries better prognosis.
Contributory factor: hypertension, Diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary life style etc.

Symptoms: Patient develops sudden deviation of mouth, difficulty in speech, weakness of arm or leg etc.

Investigation: CT Head or MRI brain

Treatment: In ischemic stroke, if patient reaches hospital within 4.5 hours, thrombolytic injection can begiven with good results.

Mechanical thrombectomy via angiography is other good option with good results.

If patient comes late, then further treatment with medication is done. In case of large infarcts or hemorrhages, surgery is also done to save life of the patient. We have well equipped Neuro -ICU with trained staff for care of such patient. We have trained Neuro-Physiotherapy department who help the patient to come up from the disease.
