Cerebrovascular Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cerebrovascular disease encompasses the disorders that affect blood flow to the brain, whether by blockage or by rupture of a blood vessel. It is a condition that can compromise important body functions.
Warning signs: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding, vision disturbances, severe dizziness, or a sudden headache.
When should you seek care? In the case of sudden-onset symptoms like those described, immediate evaluation is essential, since time influences the outcome.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist usually coordinates the workup, with support from a neurosurgeon, angiologist, vascular surgeon, and radiologist depending on the case; in children the pediatric neurologist is involved. If you or someone close to you has these signs, do not wait for them to pass and request medical care as soon as possible.
