Causes of stroke in young

Cardiovascular disease

To date, the causes of stroke in young often lie in the presence of hypertension, and organic vascular disease. Hypertension can lead to the development of ischemia due to the effect of lacunar and hemorrhagic strokes due to rupture of blood vessels.

Lacunar stroke is accompanied by formation in the tissues of the brain cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The process proceeds with the development of oxygen deficiency in certain areas of the brain. The development of hemorrhagic stroke occurs on the background of decreased elasticity of the vascular wall in conditions of high blood pressure.

Organic pathology of blood vessels may be a blood clot, sukupolvi the vessel lumen, which leads to insufficient provision of oxygen to the brain and death of its parts.

Inflammatory diseases of an infectious nature

Causes of stroke in young may be hiding in the presence of certain infectious diseases. Of particular relevance in this case are infections of the brain and its membranes (encephalitis, meningitis). In addition, ischemic phenomena sometimes observed in patients with tuberculosis.

The pathogenetic mechanism of formation of this pathology in this case is a significant change in the biochemical composition of the blood, and also in the direct impact of inflammation on the blood vessels of the brain.

The role of tumors in the formation of stroke

The presence of growing tumors in the brain may be the cause, as hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. With the development of disorders of cerebral circulation, usually occurs gradually, with the growth of the tumor.

Hemorrhagic strokes evolve during germination of a malignant tumor through the blood vessels, which leads to the development of venous or arterial bleeding followed by the formation of intracerebral hematoma.

Ischemic disorders occur more often in the presence of benign tumors, not prone to proliferative growth. When this occurs, the mechanical compression of a vessel without damaging the vascular wall. Similar processes are observed with intravascular tumors.
