A member asked:
Are ischemic strokes and cerebral thrombosis one and the same? of not, how do they differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost: Cerebral thrombosis is a process of clogging up of a blood vessel that can lead to an ischemic stroke (which is when brain cells die from lack of blood flow). So while not the same, thrombosis is a common cause of ischemic stroke.
