The patient may suddenly lose the ability to speak, there may be memory problems, or one side of the body can become paralyzed. The two main types of stroke include ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The outcome after a stroke depends on where the stroke occurs and how much of the brain is affected. Smaller strokes may result in minor problems, such as weakness in an arm or leg.
