About Cerebral ischemia.

Cerebral ischemia is a critical condition characterized by insufficient blood flow to the brain, failing to supply adequate oxygen and glucose to meet metabolic demands.

Primarily affecting the central nervous system, it can present globally due to systemic circulatory collapse or focally following localized arterial occlusion, thrombosis, or embolism.

Cellular energy failure, loss of ionic gradients, excitotoxicity, and microvascular compromise define its underlying pathophysiology.

Clinically, these disruptions manifest as acute focal neurological deficits, altered consciousness, or cognitive dysfunction, which may resolve transiently or advance to irreversible neuronal death and cerebral infarction if hypoperfusion persists.
