Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is advisable to seek care as soon as possible in the event of a stroke, and even more so when it is related to carotid stenosis. This situation occurs when one of the neck arteries that carry blood to the brain narrows, which can reduce flow or favor the formation of clots that interrupt blood supply to the brain.
Warning signs: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding, loss of vision, or sudden balance problems. When faced with these signs, care must be immediate.
Which specialist evaluates it? The neurosurgeon takes part in the study of brain circulation and the neck arteries, along with neurology. Professional evaluation makes it possible to understand the state of the arteries and define follow-up. Recognizing the signs in time makes a big difference.
