I63.8: Other cerebral infarction
Various blood vessels in the neck and brain supply blood to the brain. In your case, not enough blood was getting through certain blood vessels in your brain. As a result, the brain tissue has not received enough blood.
There are various reasons why a blood vessel gets blocked. For example, the blood vessel may get inflamed, or the wall of the blood vessel may change. Consequently, not enough blood flows through the blood vessel.
If insufficient blood is flowing through the blood vessels in the brain, the brain can get damaged. A blood vessel blockage is a type of stroke. The stroke can cause various symptoms. For example, you may no longer be able to move some muscles properly, or to speak properly. It depends on where the brain has been damaged.
