(I68*) Cerebrovascular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

Cerebrovascular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere occur when a person has a stroke due to an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or other vascular disease. these diseases can cause a blockage or rupture of the blood vessels in the brain, leading to a stroke. risk factors for stroke include age, smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Cerebrovascular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere are caused by a disruption in the blood vessels supplying oxygen-rich blood to the brain. this disruption can be caused by a variety of conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis, or a clotting disorder. the disruption can lead to a stroke, which can cause permanent damage to the brain. in addition, the disruption can cause a transient ischemic attack, which is a temporary disruption in blood flow that can cause temporary neurological symptoms.
