How do you think a stroke in the cerebellum might affect a person?
443099
no matter where in the brain a stroke occurs part of the brain dies.  With the cerebellum conducting much of the involuntary actions of the body a stroke could have no effect, but at the same time it could be as significnat as shutting down the heart or stopping the resporatory cycle if that part of the cerebellum dies during the stroke

Disorientation is more a sign of a stroke.  Get a physical now!

Medication or surgery. It is very delicate due to the possible release of clots that could cause a stroke or Trans Ischemic Attack (Little stroke)

i highly suggest you consult a doctor instead of the internet for information like this. much of the prognosis of stroke depends on how focused and guided your rehabilitation program is.

It doesn't sound like the type of thing I would ignore, but I wouldn't jump to extreme conclusions like a brain tumor or something.\n\nActually, it sounds more like poor circulation, and that CAN be VERY serious in the brain - i.e. strokes.  It is definitely something to head to the doctor about.  This can cause very serious problems.  If nothing else, you may have tendinitis in your feet and some inserts or physical therapy could help.  That part sounds especially odd.

You can absolutely have a stroke in the eye only.  Stroke is a broad term and in the case of the eye, it means interruption of blood flow to the tiny arteries supplying the optic nerve.  You can also have a stroke to the back part of the brain (called occipital lobe) that takes out part of the vision as well.  In that case, the eye is unaffected, but the vision processing center in the brain is.

you have computus horiblus.......it affects the brain

a minor stroke\na pinched nerve\na migraine\n\njust a few\n\nGO TO THE DOCTOR! please

I have had the same thing and was not given an explanation. The onset of stroke is accompanied by slurred speech and loss of balance.

it affects everything.\nfor example CVA or Cereborvascular Arrest or Stroke - it damages the brain tissue, brought about by the obstruction of the arterioles by fat deposits, a condition called artherosclerosis, leading to rupture then, brain hemorrhage or the so-called intracerebral hemorrhage. Then it causes an increased intracranial pressure, brought about by the change of volume inside the rigid skull by the obstructed CSF, blood and tissue itself. If untreated, it will damage the respiratory center, the "Medulla Oblongata". \nNow, CVA depending on which side of the brain it has damaged. Damage on the left hemisphere leads to a right-sided heart failure. Right sided heart failure causes pitting edema on the extremities, which is brought by the inadequate supply of blood by the Enlarged Left ventricle of the heart. I almost forgot, that the risk factor of this is hypertension. Damage on the right hemisphere leads to left-sided heart failure, then in turn causes pulmonary edema. \nSee, a simple thickening of blood can cause all that. But you may ask 'why everything'? Now, read and study the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Brain is the 'control center' to be simple. It has connections and recieves information from other parts of the body. It is the main reason why we think, why we feel hungry, why we feel love(it is not the heart), why we move, why we do whatever we do. \n\nNow, imagine it damaged.\n\nDo your body a favor, stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Lower cholesterol intake, Too much LDLs are bad. Regular exercise, and diet modification is important.

I can't see a relationship, a pneumonia affects your lung whereas a stroke affects your brain. You might develop pneumonia if you're lying in bed for too long, which can happen after a stroke.\nEspecially the elderly. If paralized after a stroke and bedridden, the patient needs to be turned on his/her side regularly.

That's quite common for a stroke which affects the left side of the brain. Such a stroke will leave the patient paralyzed on the right side, and will also likely affect the patient's speech (because most people have their speech function on the left side of the brain). If the stroke is established (i.e. without any early intervention), then the speech and movement may gradually return, but it usually takes weeks or months, with good speech and physical/physiotherapy. However, it's not easy to predict how much function will return - take everything a day at a time. After about six hours, there is very little drug treatment that will dramatically improve the stroke.

these three signs you mentioned can be an indicator, but it is really seldom that a person cannot raise both arms above their head: usually one side of the body is paralized (cannot move the arm/leg/part of mouth at all or just a very little), the other one is not. a stroke is a blockage of a brain vessle where the surrouinding brain tissue slowly begins to die (lack of oxygen) = causes the failure of parts of the body. it really depends on how severe the blockage is, for some people death might occur fast (depending where the blockage is at) other might have a couple hours to live. usually you would say, that from the first signs on, you have a max of 1 to 3 hours to be FINISHED with the medical treatment, such as a lysis (dissolving the blockage). again: depending on the severity, the patient might die due to massive brain damage, or the patient is alive with all kinds of different brain damage. when using the correct type of treatment after a stroke, a surprisingly high amount of brain activity can now be referred to an other part of the brain doing the other ones work (depending on the patient abilities + age).\nso it is so important to call the paramedics right away and head to the nearest dtoke center.\nhere in germany we have the advantage that we have doctors riding on ambulances + the often life saving and frequently use of helicopters\n\nhope that helped you, if you have more questions email me\n\ngood luck

you must go see your Doctor! Blood Pressure that gets to high...can cause a stroke...go to the Doctor!

it depends on the damage to the left hemisphere. if the damage is extensive, the person would lose right side motor movement, meaning they cant really control their right arm and leg. their language will be impaired, and the right hemisphere will take over the laguage. \nif the left side is not extensively damaged, then the person will not really lose motor movement, but when they walk or grab things with their right side, it will look awkward. the language will be impaired, as with reading and writing and speaking. the left side can still control the language section, but with help from the right hemisphere

my dear this is pons area ,,i am very sorry to hear about your boy friend,,i would like to  say something about pons stroke,,this is as follows-\n\nThe pons is part of the brainstem, the lowest part of the brain that connects to the top end of the spinal cord. It's an important and densely packed area containing many bundles of nerves carrying movement and sensory messages between the brain and the body. It also acts as a junction box for all the nerves employed in coordinating movement and balance within the head and neck, as well as the body as a whole.\n\n\n\nBecause there are so many important structures within the brainstem one small area of damage due to stroke can have wide-ranging consequences. The exact symptoms depend on which biological ‘electrical circuits’ and junctions lose their blood supply and that in turn depends on which of the small blood vessels in the area (branches of the vertebrobasilar circulation) becomes blocked.\n\n\n\nThe symptoms can include difficulties with balance (ataxia), dizziness due to vertigo, uncoordinated eye movements, problems with swallowing and articulating words, and numbness and/ or weakness in one half of the body. It is not uncommon for victims of this sort of stroke to feel sick as part of the loss of balance.\n\n\n\nRecovery really depends on the extent and severity of the initial stroke. You need to discuss the outlook with the doctors who have investigated your mother's condition. I really hope she is only mildly affected and makes a reasonable recovery.\n     THANK YOU VERY MUCH

A stroke, or CVA [cerebral vascular accident], is a medical term for an event where the brain does not get enough blood flow (whether is due to a leak or a blockage).  The nervous tissue in the brain requires a constant supply of blood (because it carries oxygen).  If this supply is insufficient, the nervous tissue will die, and therefore parts of the brain tissue dies.  The brain is the center of the nervous system.
