Explain it to me!

"Strokes and Epilepsy"

Hemorrhagic strokes are more likely to result in seizures. Seizures can also be more likely if you had a severe stroke. Some people will have repeated seizures, and be diagnosed with epilepsy. The chances of developing epilepsy is greater if it is a larger stroke, involving higher cortical regions and if the first seizure is at least 2 weeks after the stroke.

"Transient Ischemic Attack"

Per CDC: TIAs are sometimes known as “warning strokes.” It is important to know that A TIA is a warning sign of a future stroke. A TIA is a medical emergency, just like a major stroke. Strokes and TIAs require emergency care. Call 9-1-1 right away if you feel signs of a stroke or see symptoms in someone around you. There is no way to know in the beginning whether symptoms are from a TIA or from a major type of stroke. Like ischemic strokes, blood clots often cause TIAs. More than a third of people who have a TIA and don’t get treatment have a major stroke within 1 year. As many as 10% to 15% of people will have a major stroke within 3 months of a TIA.1 More about me: https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd

"Hemorrhagic Stroke"

Hemorrhagic stroke happens when an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures (breaks open). This can put pressure on the brain, leading to brain cell death. More about me: https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd

"Ischemic Stroke"

Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of serious disability for adults. Ischemic strokes result from lack of blood flow to the brain, leading to death of the brain cells in that area. Strokes are preventable and treatable. More about me: https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd

"Infantile Spasms"

Infantile spasms, sometimes called West syndrome, are a type of seizure that occurs in babies. The spasms look like a sudden stiffening of muscles, and the baby’s arms, legs, or head may bend forward. Infantile spasms most often begin between 4 and 7 months, but can start any time in the first few years of life. Later onset spasms may also occur but are rare. https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd
