A cerebral stroke is a serious condition in which blood flow to the brain gets interrupted, potentially leading to brain damage or cell death. A stroke can be due to a blood clot or an internal bleeding in the brain, and people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes and smokers are at a higher risk of developing a stroke.
