Kamel added that ischemic brain stroke is the most common type around the world, explaining that it results from a decrease or cessation of the flow of oxygen-laden blood to the brain.

He explained that the lack of blood supply to the brain occurs as a result of problems in the arteries supplying the brain, preventing oxygenated blood from flowing smoothly inside them, and these include:

Arterial narrowing.

– Arteriosclerosis.

– Dilation of the arteries.

Birth defects in the arteries.
