Scope note: Bloqueo de un vaso sanguíneo del CRÁNEO por un ÉMBOLO que puede ser un coágulo de sangre (TROMBO) u otro material no disuelto en el torrente circulatorio. La mayoría de los émbolos se originan en el corazón y se asocian con ENFERMEDADES CARDIACAS. Otros orígenes no cardiacos de émbolos suelen asociarse con ENFERMEDADES VASCULARES.

Scope note: Blocking of a blood vessel in the SKULL by an EMBOLUS which can be a blood clot (THROMBUS) or other undissolved material in the blood stream. Most emboli are of cardiac origin and are associated with HEART DISEASES. Other non-cardiac sources of emboli are usually associated with VASCULAR DISEASES.
