Cerebrovascular disease is any
disease by which the arteries in the brain, or are
connected to the brain, are defective. All diseases
related to artery dysfunction can be classified under
a disease as known as Macrovascular disease. Arteries
may become blocked by fatty deposits or by a
blood clot. The results of cerebrovascular disease
can include a stroke, or even sometimes a hemorrhagic
stroke. Ischemia or other blood vessel dysfunctions
can affect a person during a cerebrovascular accident.
During a cerebrovascular accident, sensory
to interneural transmission to motor transmission
is cut off because the sensitive blood vessels cannot
reach sensitive cells. Also, involuntary control
of the muscles may be lost, depending on the type
of stroke the victim is encountering. Another form
of cerebrovascular disease includes aneurysms. If
bleeding can occur in this process, the resulting
effect is a stroke.
This disease can also result from embolism, or
a ruptured blood vessel. Embolism blocks small arteries
within the brain, causing dysfunction to occur. Spontaneously,
a hemorrhage can occur. A hemorrhage is a blood
clot from blood vessel rupture, which causes bleeding
in the brain.
Neurological
Surgery, P.C. is one of the largest private
practices for neurological surgery in the
NY/NJ/CT Tri-State area, offering
patients the most advanced treatments of
brain and spine disorders, using minimally
invasive procedures like Gamma Knife, Cyber
Knife, Microdiscectomy, Kyphoplasty, X-Stop,
Carotid Stenting, Aneurysm Coiling and
Interventional Pain Management, rather
than major surgery whenever feasible.
