INTRODUCTION
A cerebrovascular accident is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke is when
blood flow to a part of your brain is stopped either by a blockage or a rupture of a blood
vessel. There are important signs of a stroke that you should be aware of and watch out
for. A left-side stroke happens when the blood supply to the left side of the brain is
interrupted. Without oxygen and nutrients from blood, the brain tissue quickly dies. The
cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is made of a left and a right hemisphere. In
most people, the left hemisphere is in charge of the functions on the right-side of the
body. It is also involved in abilities such as the ability to speak, or use language. There
are two main types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic.
Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for about 13 percent of stroke cases. It results from
a weakened vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain. The blood
accumulates and compresses the surrounding brain tissue. The two types of
hemorrhagic strokes are intracerebral (within the brain) hemorrhage or subarachnoid
hemorrhage.
Globally, measurements undertaken by the WHO revealed an up to ten-fold
difference in age-adjusted and sex-adjusted mortality rates and burden (measured in
disability-adjusted life year loss rates (DALYs)) among countries. Both were
considerably higher in low-income countries (North Asia, Eastern Europe, Central Africa,
and South Pacific) compared to high-income countries (Western Europe, North
America). 795,000 new or recurrent strokes occur per year in the US, accounting for
approximately 1 in 18 deaths. In Europe, the incidence of stroke varies from 101.1 to
1
239.3 per 100,000 in men and 63.0 to 158.7 per 100,000 in women. Within 5 years of a
stroke, over half of patients aged 45 years will die: 52% of men and 56% of women.
Stroke is the second leading cause of death above the age of 60 years, and the
fifth leading cause of death in people aged 15 to 59 years old. Every year, 15 million
people worldwide suffer a stroke. Nearly six million die and another five million are left
permanently disabled. Stroke is the second leading cause of disability, after dementia.
Disability may include loss of vision and / or speech, paralysis and confusion. Stroke is
less common in people under 40 years, although it does happen. In young people the
most common causes are high blood pressure or sickle cell disease. In many developed
countries the incidence of stroke is declining even though the actual number of strokes
is increasing because of the ageing population. In the developing world, however, the
incidence of stroke is increasing. In China, 1.3 million people have a stroke each year
and 75% live with varying degrees of disability as a result of stroke. The predictions for
the next two decades suggest a tripling in stroke mortality in Latin America, the Middle
East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
Nationally, according to the latest WHO data published in April 2011 Stroke
Deaths in Philippines reached 40,245 or 9.55% of total deaths. The age adjusted Death
Rate is 82.77 per 100,000 of population ranks Philippines #106 in the world.
Locally, there are no records of incidence of stroke published online for Davao
Del Norte. However, in Davao City, Councilor Rene Elias Lopez said stroke is now the
top cause of morbidity in the city, with 1,800 people dying from the disease in 2008.

cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves
that send information to and from the brain.
The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is made up
of nerves that branch out from the spinal cord to relay messages from the brain to
different parts of the body. Together, the CNS and PNS allow a person to walk, talk, and
throw a ball and so on.
The brain is the bodys control centre. It constantly receives and interprets nerve
signals from the body and responds based on this information. Different parts of the
brain control movement, speech, emotions, consciousness and internal body functions,
such as heart rate, breathing and body temperature.
The brain has 3 main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.
Cerebrum
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is divided into 2 parts (halves)
called the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The 2 hemispheres are connected by a
bridge of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum.
The right half of the cerebrum (right hemisphere) controls the left side of the
body. The left half of the cerebrum (left hemisphere) controls the right side of the body.
19
The outer surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex or grey matter. It
is the area of the brain where nerve cells make connections, called synapses, that
control brain activity. The inner area of the cerebrum contains the insulated (myelinated)
bodies of the nerve cells (axons) that relay information between the brain and spinal
cord. This inner area is called the white matter because the insulation around the axons
gives it a whitish appearance.
The cerebrum is further divided into 4 sections called lobes. These include the
frontal (front), parietal (top), temporal (side) and occipital (back) lobes.
The frontal lobe controls movement, speech, behaviour, memory, emotions and
intellectual functioning, such as thought processes, reasoning, problem solving,
decision making and planning.
The parietal lobe controls sensations, such as touch, pressure, pain and
temperature. It also controls spatial orientation (understanding of size, shape and
direction).
The temporal lobe controls hearing, memory and emotions. The left temporal
lobe also controls speech.
20
Cerebellum
The cerebellum is the next largest part of the brain. It is located under the
cerebrum at the back of the brain. It is divided into 2 parts or hemispheres and has grey
and white matter, much like the cerebrum.

medulla oblongata
The brain stem controls:

heart rate
22
The brain and spinal cord are covered and protected by 3 thin layers of tissue
(membranes) called the meninges:
CSF flows in the space between the arachnoid layer and the pia mater. This
space is called the subarachnoid space.
The tentorium is a flap made of a fold in the meninges. It separates the cerebrum
from the cerebellum.
The supratentorial area of the brain is the area above the tentorium. It contains
the cerebrum, the first and second (lateral) ventricles, the third ventricle, and glands and
structures in the centre of the brain.
The infratentorial area is located at the back of the brain below the tentorium. It
contains the cerebellum and brain stem. This area is also called the posterior fossa.
Corpus callosum
The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibres between the 2 cerebral
hemispheres. It connects and allows communication between both hemispheres.
Thalamus
23
The thalamus is a structure in the middle of the brain that has 2 lobes or
sections. It acts as a relay station for almost all information that comes and goes
between the brain and the rest of the nervous system in the body.
Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus is a small structure in the middle of the brain below the
thalamus. It plays a part in controlling body temperature, hormone secretion, blood
pressure, emotions, appetite, and sleep patterns.
Pituitary gland
The pituitary gland is a small, pea-sized organ in the centre of the brain. It is
attached to the hypothalamus and makes a number of different hormones that affect
other glands of the bodys endocrine system. It receives messages from the
hypothalamus and releases hormones that control the thyroid and adrenal gland, as
well as growth and physical and sexual development.
Ventricles
The ventricles are fluid-filled spaces (cavities) within the brain. There are 4
ventricles:
The first and second ventricles are in the cerebral hemispheres. They are called
lateral ventricles.
The third ventricle is in the centre of the brain, surrounded by the thalamus and
hypothalamus.
The fourth ventricle is at the back of the brain between the brain stem and the
cerebellum.
24
The ventricles are connected to each other by a series of tubes. The fluid in the
ventricles is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF flows through the ventricles, around the
brain in the space between the layers of the meninges (subarachnoid space) and down
the spinal cord.
Pineal gland
The pineal gland is a very small gland in the third ventricle of the brain. It
produces the hormone melatonin, which influences sleeping and waking patterns and
sexual development.
Choroid plexus
The choroid plexus is a small organ in the ventricles that makes CSF.
Cranial nerves
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that perform specific functions in the head
and neck area. The first pair starts in the cerebrum, while the other 11 pairs start in the
brain stem. Cranial nerves are indicated by number (Roman numeral) or name.
Types of cells in the brain
The brain is made up of neurons and glial cells:
neurons
These cells carry the signals that make the nervous system work.
They cannot be replaced or repaired if they are damaged.
glial cells (neuroglial cells)
These cells support, feed and protect the neurons.
The different types of glial cells are:
astrocytes
oligodendrocytes
ependymal cells
microglial cells
25
vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx bony sections that house and protect the spinal
cervical the vertebrae from the base of the skull to the lowest part of the neck
breathing. Each vertebra has a pair of spinal nerves that receive messages from the
body (sensory impulses) and send messages to the body (motor impulses). The spinal
nerves are numbered from the cervical spine to the sacral spine.

VII. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
A Written Pathophysiology
Strokes are divided into two main categories: Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic.
Haemorrhagic strokes are due to the rupture of a blood vessels leading to compression
of brain tissue from an expanding haematoma. In addition, the pressure may lead to a
loss of blood supply to affected tissue with resulting infarction.Intracerebral

C. RECOMMENDATIONS
Giving importance to the health of ourselves and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
as individuals, is highly required to maintain a good and healthy life. It is because
ignoring the health condition could greatly affect life especially when certain conditions
or diseases would develop.
60
It is very important that every person should give importance to his/her health. A
person should promote healthy lifestyle changes that include adequate nutrition, clean
environment, and free from stress. For our patient, it is important to eliminate those
factors that can trigger to his condition.
With this we recommend the following:

topics of this case study, we are now presenting our evaluation related to our objectives
that have been presented. We have certified that we were able to complete the chosen
case with factual data gathered including the necessary information related to this case.
Within the span of at least of rendering care to Patient Kowowo, we have drawn
together the important and relevant information that serve as the baseline of our study
and were able to identify potential problems. By gaining the patients trust and
cooperation and with the help of the significant others, we were able to assess properly
every single data regarding the patients condition and thoroughly assessed every
system involved. We were able to obtain his past health history that contributed to the
occurrence of the condition. Additionally, we were able to get the complete diagnosis,
able to perform the cephalocaudal physical assessment of the patient, and discussed
firmly the anatomy and physiology of the systems involved. Besides, we were able to
present the pathogenesis of certain conditions included in the admitting diagnosis.
Moreover, we were able to present the factors that affect the patients condition,
comprehensively interpreted the laboratory results, discussed and enumerated the
medications prescribed including the nursing responsibilities and given the interventions
we have planned and implemented for our patient.
We were able to appreciate more the essence of utilizing the nursing process in
the care, service and management of our patient. This case study improves not only our
knowledge but also with our skills concerning on providing care for our patient with such
62
diseases and we can be able to share our learning regarding this study to the significant
people. In addition, it enhances our analysis, research, knowledge and skills on the field
of nursing. It was indeed a hard job on conducting this study yet, it gave a great impact
in our career regarding how useful it is in our chosen profession.
