This is a disease resulting from poor or no blood supply to the brain. Blood supply to the brain can be disrupted by either blockage of the vessels (Occlusion) or rupturing and leaking of blood out of the blood vessels that supply the brain. Once the brain is denied of blood supply its function ceases and death of the brain cells may result. Thrombosis and atherosclerosis are all blood-related diseases that can reduce or prevent blood supply to the brain. High blood LDL cholesterol has been associated with these disease conditions.
