Detailed explanation-1: -Risk factors for brain stem stroke are the same as for strokes in other areas of the brain: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, atrial fibrillation and smoking. Similarly, brain stem strokes can be caused by a clot or a hemorrhage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 10 percent of all ischemic strokes affect the brain stem. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke or a warning stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted briefly.
Detailed explanation-3: -The brain stem stroke appears when the blood supply stops flowing to a specific part of the brain stem. This is due to a blockage in the blood vessels (ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the blood vessels supplying the brain stem (hemorrhagic stroke).
