Apoplexy is uncontrolled bleeding that resulted in loss of consciousness and paralysis of various parts of the body. For example, adrenal apoplexy is bleeding into the adrenal gland, pituitary apoplexy is bleeding into the pituitary gland, and so on.
The term apoplexy (with no specific organs) often refers to bleeding into the brain. Conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or stroke is sometimes called apoplexy.
Apoplexy cause
Apoplexy can occur if too much blood in the brain. This is called a hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood vessels in the brain ruptures or leaks due to the onset of other diseases, such as high blood pressure and aneurysm. Intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage are two examples of this type of stroke.
Apoplexy can also occur if too little blood in the brain. This is an ischemic stroke and causes the brain cells that are dead can not be replaced. Eighty percent of cases of apoplexy fell on this group.

Apoplexy treatment
Apoplexy is the leading cause of disability and the third cause of death in the United States (U.S.). This condition is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent or minimize serious damage.
Although depending on the type of stroke and the brain is attacked, this condition can cause irreversible brain damage and disability sustained. Serious attacks can cause permanent paralysis on one side of the body or affect the ability of such speech, movement and memory. While some patients recover completely, two-thirds of the victims suffered from epileptic attacks from some form of disability.
