Cerebral occlusion refers to the blockage of blood flow in the brain, often caused by a blood clot or a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries. This condition can lead to reduced oxygen and nutrient supply to brain cells, potentially resulting in damage or death of those cells. It is a significant risk factor for conditions like stroke. Symptoms of cerebral occlusion may include sudden weakness, difficulty speaking, or loss of coordination. Timely medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize brain damage. Treatments may involve medications, such as thrombolytics, or surgical procedures to remove the blockage.
