How the body is affected by a stroke depends on how much brain tissue has been damaged and where that damage occurs. 1  A stroke is sudden and its effects are felt immediately. 2  Stroke causes some brain tissue to die. 3  A stroke can be anywhere in the brain and can be very small or very big.
The effects of stroke vary from person to person based on the type, severity, location, and number of strokes. The brain is very complex. Each area of the brain is responsible for a special function or ability. When an area of the brain is damaged from a stroke, the loss of normal function of part of the body may occur. This may result in a disability. Depending on which of these regions of the brain the stroke occurs, the effects may be very different.
