What condition results when an artery carrying blood to the brain is blocked?

Zbeckabee

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot or bursts, causing the brain to starve. If deprived of oxygen for even a short period of time, the brain nerve cells will start to die. Once the brain cells die from a lack of oxygen, the part of the body that section of the brain controls is affected through paralysis, language, motor skills, or vision. http://www.sirweb.org/patients/stroke/ Oct 06 10, 3:46 PM

A stroke, known medically as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke Oct 06 10, 10:35 PM
