Cerebrovascular disorders

Definition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrovascular_disorders)

Hypertension is the most important cause; it damages the blood vessel lining, endothelium, exposing the underlying collagen where platelets aggregate to initiate a repairing process which is not always complete and perfect.
