      Hi Jebril,
      A blood clot if it occurs in a major artey of the brain can cause a stroke, which cuts off blood supply (and oxygen) to this part fo the brain. The symptoms will depend on the part of the brain that is affected and may include:
      -loss of speech/slurred speech
      -loss of vision
      -weakness on one side of the body
      -convulsions
      -coma
      I hope that answers your question?
      Best wishes,
      Jacquie
