Stroke treatment in Celaya

A cerebrovascular accident occurs when the blood flow reaching the brain is interrupted or decreases suddenly, which prevents an area from receiving the oxygen it needs.

Why speed matters: Brain tissue is very sensitive to the lack of blood supply, so recognizing the signs and seeking care without delay is decisive.

Warning signs: Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding, vision problems, or a very intense and sudden headache.

Who treats it? In the emergency, the emergency physician intervenes, and the study and follow-up correspond to the neurologist and, in certain cases, the neurosurgeon. In the face of these symptoms, immediate care can make the difference.
