CVA stands for which medical term?

CVA stands for which medical term?

• A. Cerebral Vascular Accident (stroke)
• B. Central Vein Anomaly
• C. Cranial Vascular Aneurysm
• D. Cerebellar Vascular Attack

Answer: (A)

CVA denotes a Cerebral Vascular Accident, which is the traditional medical term for a stroke caused by disrupted blood flow to the brain. The everyday label you’ll see in patient care is stroke, but CVA is still used in medical records and exams. The other terms don’t match the common meaning of the acronym: a central vein anomaly isn’t a standard diagnosis associated with CVA, a cranial vascular aneurysm refers to an aneurysm rather than an accident, and a cerebellar vascular attack isn’t a recognized term for this condition. So, the best answer is Cerebral Vascular Accident, i.e., stroke.
