   Stroke occurs when blood flow in the brain to stop immediately. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. There are two types of stroke. First, ischemic stroke, the most common stroke. Ischemic stroke is aibat of the blood clot that clogs blood vessels. Second, hemorrhagic stroke, caused by rupture of blood vessels so that blood flows out. There are so-called "Mini Stroke" or Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA). TIA occurs when blood flow in the brain is only paused.

Initial management is usually done in the emergency room is laid pasen and flex the head (bending the neck toward the front) to 30 degrees, and then do a CT scan as examination gold standard to determine whether this is an ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke, as a remedy for both of them is very different. The principle of treatment of ischemic stroke is a blood clot dissolving or while hemorrhagic stroke is to stop the bleeding. Post-stroke rehabilitation helps individuals overcome disabilities that result from stroke damage. While the TIA itself an "alarm" of the stroke so that even patients with TIA will be "cured" to normal in <24 hours, patients with TIA should still be taking blood thinning medicines obtained from a doctor and keep the lifestyle in order to avoid a stroke.
