If someone suddenly becomes paralyzed in one arm or one side of the arm and leg, we think it is a sign of stroke (hemorrhage in the brain). To common people, stroke means paralysis. But sometimes stroke can occur without paralysis.
As we know, stroke occurs due to disruption of blood flow to the brain. Certain areas of the brain have other functions besides controlling the limbs. As the cerebellum balances our body, the frontal cortex controls personality, and the occipital cortex helps with vision.
A stroke in these particular areas of the brain can cause sudden stoppage of speech, incoherent behavior, or vision problems rather than paralysis. Let's know what kind of symptoms other than paralysis can cause stroke.
Cerebral stroke
In this type of stroke, the patient becomes dizzy and has trouble maintaining balance.
Thalamic stroke
The feeling of the hands and feet on any one side of the patient decreases, and the hands and feet tingle.
Occipital stroke
If someone suddenly has vision problems and the ophthalmologist says that there is no problem with the eyes, then this problem may be due to a stroke of the occipital cortex of the brain.
Frontal lobe stroke
The frontal lobe of the brain controls our personality. A frontal lobe stroke causes the patient's behavior to become incoherent. Talk back and forth.
Lacunar stroke
It is a type of small stroke of the brain. A lacunar stroke often affects the patient's speech, and there are no other problems. So it is not true that stroke will always result in paralysis of arms and legs. A stroke patient may also present with symptoms such as difficulty speaking, dizziness, vision problems, erratic behavior, etc. Therefore, if such symptoms appear, consult a neurologist immediately.
