The Effects Of A Stroke




by Any Safarodiyah

A stroke damages the brain and causes a sudden loss of brain function. The effect of a stroke depends on the type of stroke, the area of the brain damaged, and the extent of brain injury. A mild stroke may cause little or no brain damage; a major one may lead severe brain injury or even death. As the brain controls many functions of the body, a stroke can have a lot of different effects.

The brain is divided into three main parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The cerebrum is divided into two half: the right cerebral hemisphere (or half) and the left one.

A stroke on the left hemisphere may cause:

~ Weakness or paralysis on the right side of body
