G46.8: Other vascular syndromes of brain in cerebrovascular diseases
The brain is made up of several areas. For example, the cerebrum is used to think and plan actions. In the cerebellum, movements are initialized and coordinated. The brain stem is responsible for various unconscious tasks such as breathing. The brain stem passes into the spinal cord.
Parts of your brain have impaired function. These impairments are related to blood vessels in the brain. Usually then, parts of the brain are not getting enough blood. Sometimes a bleed in the brain is also responsible for this type of impairment.
When brain function is impaired, different problems may occur. The symptoms depend on which part of the brain is affected.
