CEREBRAL ARTERY THROMBOSIS

Thrombosis of a cerebral artery.
The cerebral thrombosis (obstruction of a cerebral artery by a thrombus) or cerebral embolism (obstruction of a cerebral artery by an element coming from another part of the organism) leads to ischemia (reduction of the blood intake), verily a cerebral infarction (death and necrosis of the non-irrigated zone of the brain).
