common type of ischaemic stroke, and results from
the occlusion of small penetrating arteries that
provide blood to the brain's deep structures.

(carotid arteries).

ischemia of the vertebrobasilar circulation. Dizziness,
vertigo, headaches, vomit, diplopia, blindness, ataxia,
imbalance, and weakness in both sides of the body are
