Stroke :Rapid onset of clinical signs of focal or globaldisturbance of cerebral function lasting more than
24 hours or leading to death with no apparent
cause other than a vascular lesion
TERM
Types of Vascular lesion
Occlusive
Hemorrhagic

Result in :
Permanent lack of blood flow to a focal region of
the brain
Parenchymal changes
ALL lead to INFARCTION
HEMORRHAGIC
Spontaneous rupture of the arterial in or outside
the brain

Knowing to both types of stroke is a basis
in explaining the symptoms and signs,
technique of examination,
and treatment intervention

BRAIN INFARCTION
Normal metabolism and blood flow
Brain : A very metabolically active organ
Glucose as a sole substrate
Energy produced depends on oxygen presence
ATP as energy for
maintain neuronal integrity
keep Ca++outside and K+within the cells
Brain requirementO2 500 mL
Glucose 75-100 mgEach minute !!

BRAIN INFARCTION
Normal metabolism and blood flow
Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF)
53 ml/100 gm brain/minute (range 50-60)
Cerebral Metabolism Rate for Oxygen (CMRO2)
Cerebral O2 Consumption
3.5 ml/mg/minute
Maximum compensation to maintain CMRO2
at CBF 20-25 ml/100 gm/min

BRAIN INFARCTION
Normal metabolism and blood flow
Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) in 100mg/minute
In 10-15 ml (between electrical and ionic failure)
Neuron not functioning, but still viable
These neuron appear in the periphery, around
infarcted area (perifocal area).
Their existence is determined by collateral system.The area is called PENUMBRA.
It is a target of intervention !!.

Factors that determine CBF
Regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF)
Auto-regulation
Microcirculation change Metabolic and neuro-chemical control

Regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF)Hagen Poisseuille Law
V=
V = velocity of blood flow to the brain
p = intravascular pressure
r4 = radius of the artery

BRAIN INFARCTION
Auto-regulation
The capacity of cerebral circulation to maintain
relatively constant level of CBFdespite changing pressure
CBFrelatively constant in MABP 50-150 mmHg
Chronic hypertension : Upper and lower levels of
auto-regulation are raised.

Auto-regulation
The ability of auto-regulation and collateral system
have a role in stroke attack.
If blood pressure increases, the vessels will constrict
and if blood pressure decreases, they will dilate.
Damage of auto-regulation and collateral system

Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Bleeding into the brain results from rupture of one ofthe cerebral vessels.
In many cases, derives from a ruptured arteriosclerotic
vessel.
Major cause -- rupture of microaneurysms. (end resultof longstanding arterial hypertension)
at penetrating arteries.
Atherosclerosis (in aging or chronic HTN)
microaneurysms at penetrating arteries + 1mm :
Charcot-Bouchard aneurysm
Most common site - basal ganglia.

Subarachnoid Bleeding
The causes :
Ruptured aneurysm
Ruptured AVM
Ruptured angiomaBlood dyscrasia
Aneurysm : found commonly in Willis circle and
its branchesAneurysm rupturesblood fills in subarachnoid
space and brain parenchym close to it.

Subarachnoid Bleeding
Complications Associated With Subarachnoid
Hemorrhage
Vasospasm :
Delayed narrowing of large capacitancearteries at the base of the brain after SAH
Often occurs at day 2 to 12 after the onset.
Hydrocephalus
Rebleeding : occurs in a few weeks after theonset
Hyponatremia
