STROKE The use of ''apoplexy'' for the term Stroke is derived from the fact that many patients lose Consciousness during the acute stage of the Vascular compromise (either through bleeding or Ischemia ). It is not to be confused with Cataplexy (an attack of the neurological syndrome Narcolepsy ). Occasionally, the term 'apoplexy' is used to describe Hemorrhaging within other Organ s; in such usage, however, it is coupled with an Adjective describing the site of the bleeding. For example, bleeding within the Kidney s can be called ''renal apoplexy'', or bleeding within the Pituitary Gland can be called ''pituitary apoplexy''. NON-MEDICAL MEANING
