Stroke treatment in León

When sudden weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, drooping of the face, or loss of vision appear, it may be a stroke (cerebrovascular disease), also known as a cerebrovascular event or accident. It occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted.

Warning signs: symptoms usually come on abruptly and constitute a medical emergency in which every minute counts.

Related factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, and other circulatory problems influence its onset.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the internist evaluate and follow up on a stroke. At any sudden-onset neurological symptom, the right thing to do is go to the emergency room without waiting, since early care is key.
