Stroke is a major health condition and the second leading cause of death among Koreans. At Incheon Baek Hospital, we operate a comprehensive Stroke Center that includes departments such as Neurosurgery, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Emergency Room, Operating Room, and Intensive Care Unit, enabling early diagnosis and swift treatment for stroke patients.
Stroke can be classified into two main types: hemorrhagic stroke, caused by blood vessel rupture, and ischemic stroke, caused by blockage of blood vessels.
Various symptoms related to stroke are diagnosed through medical history assessments, neurological examinations, and precise diagnostic tests. Early detection allows for timely interventions, preventive measures, and appropriate treatment.
When blood vessels in the brain rupture or become blocked, diverse symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, slurred speech, visual disturbances, numbness in the arms or legs, and weakness on one side of the body may manifest. If you experience any similar symptoms, we strongly recommend visiting our hospital immediately, as we offer 24/7 year-round care and examination.
At Incheon Baek Hospital, we are equipped with advanced facilities, including 1.5T MRI, 16-channel CT, and vascular imaging equipment, enabling us to rapidly and accurately diagnose cerebrovascular diseases. Additionally, we have established a rapid interdisciplinary approach among medical professionals, ensuring that we are fully prepared to provide comprehensive care for our patients.
