Answer:

embolism

Explanation:

Cerebral embolism is a type of stroke that occurs when a floating blood clot clogs one of the arteries in the brain and can lead to death or serious sequelae such as speech difficulties, blindness or paralysis.

This problem is more common in the elderly or people with high blood pressure or atherosclerosis, for example, but it can also happen in young people, and the risk may be increased in women taking regular birth control pills.

Embolism is curable, especially when treatment is started within 45 minutes of the onset of symptoms, but the risk of sequelae depends on the affected region and clot size.
