What are the different types of strokes?

Types of strokes: You must be referring to the hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke types? The hemorrhagic stroke is caused by leakage of blood from a blood vessel. The ischemic stroke is caused by interruption of blood flow, either by a blood clot or a narrow artery.
