'''Stroke''', also known as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), cerebrovascular insult (CVI), or brain attack, is when poor [[blood]] [[flow]] to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemorrhagic hemorrhagic], due to bleeding. They result in part of the brain not functioning properly. Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to move or [[feel]] on one side of the body, [[problems]] understanding or speaking, [[feeling]] like the world is spinning, or loss of [[vision]] to one side among others. Signs and [[symptoms]] often appear soon after the stroke has occurred. If symptoms last less than one or two hours it is known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Hemorrhagic strokes may also be associated with a severe headache. The symptoms of a stroke can be permanent. Long term complications may include pneumonia or loss of bladder control.
