Where Do Strokes Occur?

Feb 6

Where do strokes occur? Strokes occur in the central nervous system, also known as the CNS. The CNS consists of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord.

A stroke occurs when the arteries that supply oxygen and other nutrients to the different areas in the brain and spinal cord are blocked or they burst. While a stroke can occur in any artery within the CNS, it most commonly occurs in the brain.

Each artery serves a different area of the brain. Since each brain region has a different primary function, stroke survivors will have different symptoms based on the artery and area of the brain affected.
