Pathophysiology of CVA

Predisposing factors: Precipitating factors:

------------------ ------------------
--------------- ------------------

Bullet enters through the left temporal lobe

And exits at the right paritel lobe

Rupture of vessels

Accumulation Embolus formation

of blood with
in the brain
[compensatory
Mechanism]
Hematoma Lodge to cerebral artery
Rapid Formation
absorption
of CSF
Increase ICP Narrowing of arterial lumen

Intravascular
Volume Decrease blood flow
Failure of
Compensation
Increase cerebral demand
For oxygen

 Physical therapy
 Early mobilization
With assistance
