How do you say stroke in spanish?

My grandfather recently had a stroke, and some family friends living in Spain called to check in on him. I was trying to explain his condition to them, but wasn't sure of the exact word in Spanish. How do you say 'stroke'?

In Spanish, a medical stroke is called 'accidente cerebrovascular' or 'derrame cerebral'. After recovery, and only if the doctor permits, light physical activity like short daily walks can help in rebuilding strength.

The translation is 'derrame cerebral' or 'accidente cerebrovascular'. I always get so anxious reading about these terms because they are serious medical conditions, so please seek immediate hospital care if there is any emergency.

In Spanish, it is 'accidente cerebrovascular' or 'ACV'. If you suspect anyone is having a stroke, look for facial drooping or speech slurring and get them to an emergency room immediately.

Hey, the word you are looking for is 'derrame cerebral'. Don't stress too much about memorizing all these heavy medical terms unless you really need them for a project or travel.

The term is 'accidente cerebrovascular' or 'derrame cerebral'. Knowing these clinical words is very helpful for general awareness or if you are translating medical documents.
