A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.

Head injuries can range from minor scalp lacerations to severe traumatic brain injuries. The document defines different types of head injuries including closed and open injuries, skull fractures, and brain injuries such as concussions, contusions, and intracranial hemorrhages. Treatment depends on the severity but may include managing increased intracranial pressure, antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, surgery, and supportive care including monitoring neurological status, maintaining hydration and oxygenation, and preventing complications.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges that surround the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. Common symptoms include fever, neck stiffness, vomiting and photophobia. Diagnosis involves examining cerebrospinal fluid through lumbar puncture. Treatment focuses on antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals as well as managing symptoms. Nursing care aims to enhance cerebral perfusion, reduce fever and pain, maintain fluid balance, and help the patient return to normal functioning.

Cerebral aneurysms are localized dilations of arteries in the brain. They can be saccular, fusiform, or dissecting in shape. The most common location is on arteries in the Circle of Willis. Risk factors include hypertension, smoking, and trauma. Symptoms may include sudden headache, nausea, vision changes, and seizures. Diagnosis is made through CT, MRI, or CT angiography. Treatment options are surgical clipping or endovascular coiling to prevent rupture and bleeding. Nursing management focuses on monitoring for complications and educating on risk factor modification.

A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column.

Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder affecting motor, sensory or autonomic nerves outside of the central nervous system. There are two main types: mononeuropathy, which damages a single nerve, and polyneuropathy, which affects multiple nerves. Causes include diabetes, alcoholism, toxins, medications and genetic factors. Symptoms depend on the affected nerves and may include numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness and autonomic issues. Diagnosis involves examinations, tests and imaging. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, pain relief medications, nerve stimulation, splinting and self-care techniques. Nursing care includes education, medication management, safety measures and physical therapy.

cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as stroke is one of the most common health problems of the world. in the developing world, its increasing incidence is a matter of concern among the health workers across the globe. thus adequate knowledge about this medical condition is a must to deal with it effectively.

Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths that develop in the brain and can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). They are the second most common childhood cancer and symptoms depend on the tumor's location and size. Management may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to prevent complications from increased pressure on the skull. Nurses monitor patients for signs of increased intracranial pressure like headaches and vomiting and communicate any changes to doctors for timely intervention. The outlook depends on factors like tumor type, size, location, and how early treatment was initiated.

Seizures are episodes of abnormal motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic activity (or a combination of these) resulting from sudden excessive discharge from cerebral neurons.
