Cerebral Embolism

Also known as: cerebral embolism · brain embolism · cerebral vessel occlusion · cerebral infarction · embolic stroke · blood clot in the brain · brain vessel occlusion · ischemic cerebral infarction
Your Body Is Speaking
A blood clot has found its way into your brain — and is blocking the supply. Within seconds, nerve cells die that will never return. Speech fails, one side of the body no longer obeys, the world tilts. What was ordinary just moments ago — thinking, reaching, standing — suddenly becomes impossible.
Cerebral embolism is a medical emergency. Call 112 immediately. Every minute counts.
Medically, the cause is clear: a clot blocks a cerebral vessel, tissue is no longer supplied with blood. Psychosomatically — after acute care, when survival is secured — a different question arises: What was so blocked in your life that your body carried this blockage all the way to the centre of your being? What was so sealed off that even the current of life could no longer get through?
