Ischemic Stroke
Recognizing the signs of a stroke and acting immediately can be decisive: a drooping face, weakness in one arm, or difficulty speaking are warnings that call for phoning emergency services without wasting time.
An ischemic stroke occurs when a clot blocks blood flow to a part of the brain, depriving that area of oxygen.
Warning signs: Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, confusion, trouble speaking or seeing, and loss of balance.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and emergency services intervene in the acute phase, and other professionals then take part in recovery. With any sudden symptom of this kind, immediate care is the priority.
