A brain stroke, also known as a brain attack, occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked, interrupted, or reduced. Without a constant flow of oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die, leading to impaired speech, memory loss, difficulty in movement, and other neurological deficits. In severe cases, stroke can result in paralysis or even death.
