Stroke is a Brain Attack resulting from the sudden interruption of blood flow to a portion of the brain.
Providing you with detailed information about all neurological disorders is beyond the scope of this web site. Instead, I have compiled a list of useful website links that you can refer to for accurate information. When available, sites in Arabic are also listed. Periodically new information will be added for each topic specifically.
These sites have been compiled from several sources including:
- The American Academy of Neurology Patient Information Guide
- The US Department of Health & Human Services Booklet of Neurological Disorders – Voluntary Health Agencies & Other Patient Resources
- General Search of the World Wide Web
