Cerebral ischemia: Focal ischemia indicates a specific region in the brain that has not gotten sufficient oxygen. It can be due to uncontrolled hypertension, trauma, stroke, atherosclerosis, etc. MRI is better than CT for imaging the brain. If you have concerning neurological symptoms, see a neurologist for further evaluation. http://sullydog.com/sullysites/qm/brainischemia101syllabus/syllabus/presentation1_9_1.html
