The term "stroke" refers to a "cerebral vascular catastrophe."
This concept is divided into two categories:
Ischemic stroke (also called cerebral infarction), where it’s assumed that a blockage in a cerebral artery causes a blood supply disruption to a specific brain area, leading to various functional impairments or damage.
Brain hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke), where blood leaking from a damaged cerebral artery harms brain tissue.
Recalling the historical events in the United States and Hungary, we might wonder: Why did paralysis, of all things, manifest en masse? Why was this specific biological response triggered to address the situation?
Paralysis refers to the partial or complete loss of function in a body part. In neurology, paralysis indicates reduced nerve functionality, accompanied by loss of sensation and movement. Here, when we talk about paralysis, we refer to cases where it’s not caused by an accident or poisoning but is the result of a biological conflict. (This does not include paralysis from severed nerves due to accidents or surgeries, or from toxins.)
