What Causes A Clot In Brain?
Question: Clot in braine
Brief answer....given below
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
When a clot is formed in the brain,the result depends upon various factors like size of the clot,place where it has been lodged,how many of them are there etc.
A big clot is most of the times fatal while a medium sized clot can cause weakness or paralysis of one side of body and very small clots may not cause any deficit at all or may be just some localised problem.
Since your question is not clear,I would wish you to be specific about your query.
Awaiting your query.
Thanks
