The immediate area of brain cell death caused by a stroke. When the brain cells in the infarct die, they release chemicals that set off a chain reaction that endangers brain cells in a larger surrounding area, known as the penumbra.

An area of dead tissue which is the result of acute ischemia.

The area of tissue which is damaged or dies as a result of receiving an insufficient blood supply.

Localized tissue death resulting from obstruction of the blood supply to the affected site.

An area of dead cells that results from an interruption of blood flow.

Localized area of tissue that is dying or dead having been deprived of blood supply.

A necrotic area of tissue resulting from failure of local blood supply.

Tissue that dies as a result of blocked blood flow.

A localized area of tissue death caused by poor, or ceasing of, blood circulation to that body part.

localized necrosis resulting from obstruction of the blood supply

a focused area of tissue that has died from blood and oxygen deprivation

a localized area of necrosis due to ischemia

an area of deadened tissue resulting from obstructed blood circulation that normally feeds and nourishes tissue

an area of dead tissue caused by obstruction of the circulation

an area of tissue that has died because its vascular supply was suddenly occluded

A localised or circumscribed area of ischemic tissue necrosis due to inadequate blood flow.

an area of cell damage resulting from a sudden insufficiency of arterial or venous blood supply

Area of ischemic necrosis. Infarction is the process of ischemic necrosis.

An area of tissue that has recently died as a result of the sudden loss of its blood supply.

an area of dead tissue caused by a blockage of its blood supply.

A region of dead tissue due to a complete interference with blood flow.

an area of ischemic villous necrosis, usually secondary to blockage of one or more spiral arteries. Small infarcts, especially located marginally, are considered normal.

dead tissue as a result of obstructed blood flow to the area.

an area of necrosis (death) in a tissue or organ resulting from obstruction of the local circulation by a thrombus or embolus

An area of dead or damaged tissue (eg brain tissue) resulting from loss of oxygen due to a vascular event, which causes blockage or arterial spasm.

An area of dead tissue due to local ischemia resulting from obstruction of circulation to the area.

tissue which has died due to a lack of oxygen resulting from a blood clot or blocking of an artery.

An area of tissue that is dead or dying because of a loss of blood supply.

Area of tissue which is deprived of blood supply and is permanently damaged.

area of eschemic necrosis produced by occlusion of the arterial supply.

Area of damaged or dead tissue; in a stroke, brain infarction is caused by impaired blood flow.

An area where brain cells have died as a result of loss of blood supply.

An area of tissue that is damaged because of a lack of blood supply.

Area of permanently damaged tissue (scar) caused by inadequate oxygen supply.

Tissue death caused by a lack of blood flow to the tissue.

Area of tissue damaged by lack of blood and oxygen

The area of heart tissue permanently damaged by an inadequate supply of oxygen.

An area of dead or dying tissue produced by lack of blood flow to or from that area. For example, myocardial infarction is the death of heart muscle.
