Give one word for loss of consciousness caused by too much blood in the brain.
-
Hammarage
-
Gangrene
-
Apoplexy
-
Atavism
Apoplexy refers to a sudden loss of consciousness or neurological function, typically caused by bleeding in or around the brain (a stroke). This medical term specifically describes the condition of unconsciousness resulting from cerebral hemorrhage. Gangrene refers to tissue death, Atavism is an evolutionary trait, and Hammarage is a misspelling of Hemorrhage.
Apoplexy is the traditional medical term for sudden loss of consciousness or function caused by internal bleeding or blocked blood flow in the brain, historically linked to strokes. Gangrene refers to dead tissue and atavism to reappearance of ancestral traits, so neither fits the description given.
