 What is a right sided ischemic stroke?

Right-Sided Stroke: Effects, Treatment, and Recovery

Ischemic. An ischemic stroke is caused by a decrease in blood flow to an area of the brain. Even a few minutes of inadequate blood flow can cause damage to the brain tissue. An ischemic stroke can be caused by a blood clot in a large blood vessel or a small blood vessel.Dec 17, 2021

In an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocks the blood supply to part of the brain. In a TIA, unlike a stroke, the blockage is brief and there is no permanent damage. The blockage that occurs during a TIA often results from a buildup of cholesterol-containing fatty deposits called plaques in an artery. 9, 2024

A transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or mini stroke, happens when there's a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain. The disruption in blood supply results in a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can cause sudden symptoms like those of a stroke.Jun 26, 2024


Symptoms of an occipital stroke include a loss of a visual field, double vision, or difficulty recognizing faces. They may also entail nonvisual symptoms, such as a headache and a change in consciousness. The causes involve ischemia or hemorrhage within a blood vessel that supplies the brain.Oct 20, 2023

What happens if you have a stroke in your occipital lobe?
When the occipital lobes of the brain are completely affected by a stroke, it causes total vision loss. This is called “cortical blindness.”10 It means the vision loss was caused by damage to the cortex of the brain. Some occipital stroke survivors have a condition called visual anosognosia .May 9, 2023
