Occlusion and stenosis of posterior cerebral artery - what does this mean
Occlusion and stenosis of the posterior cerebral artery is a condition in which the artery becomes narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the posterior part of the brain. this can lead to stroke, seizures, and other neurological symptoms, depending on the severity of the blockage.
What happens during the disease - occlusion and stenosis of posterior cerebral artery
Occlusion and stenosis of the posterior cerebral artery is a vascular disorder caused by a narrowing of the artery due to a buildup of plaque, which can lead to ischemia and decreased blood flow to the occipital lobe of the brain. this can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms including visual disturbances, headaches, dizziness, and seizures. in some cases, it can also lead to permanent damage to the occipital lobe, resulting in cognitive and behavioral problems.
