Patient consultation: "Doctor, when cerebral infarction occurs, what will happen to the head? What about the symptoms of discomfort? ”

I replied: “When a cerebral infarction occurs, there are actually many symptoms, not just symptoms in the head, but also symptoms of discomfort in other parts of the body. Let’s talk about the head first. Among the symptoms, the most common symptom in the head is dizziness. Headache is generally not a symptom of cerebral infarction. Sudden headache is common in cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. These are hemorrhagic diseases. Of course, when cerebral infarction occurs. When the area is particularly large and causes cerebral edema, headaches may also occur, but this is often not the time when the cerebral infarction first occurs, but after the patient has been ill for several days. Therefore, when the cerebral infarction first occurs, head symptoms are most common. Just dizzy."

When the disease starts acutely, there will be slurred speech, inability to speak (aphasia), crooked corners of the mouth, drooling at the corners of the mouth, weakness of one limb or paralysis of one limb, sudden numbness or sudden numbness of one limb of one side. Symptoms such as dizziness, acute-onset chorea, limb twitching, and acute-onset memory loss may all be acute cerebrovascular diseases and require immediate medical attention. It is recommended to go directly to the hospital emergency department for the fastest speed. Stop observing and observing, please remember! (Why do you need emergency medical treatment when considering cerebrovascular disease? What will happen if you delay for half a day? For more popular science about cerebral infarction, you can read my popular science article. When people around you have these symptoms, please be sure to seek medical treatment immediately. Oh! (Part 1) When people around you have these symptoms, please seek medical advice immediately! (Part 2), there are detailed introductions)

No, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction are two different diseases. , but they are all acute cerebrovascular diseases, and people often call them "stroke". Cerebral infarction refers to a disorder in the blood supply to the brain caused by various reasons, causing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in ischemic necrosis or softening of localized brain tissue. A simple explanation is: part of the cerebral blood vessels are damaged. When it becomes blocked, blood does not flow, causing symptoms. Cerebral infarction mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Its main causes include atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and hyperhomocysteinemia, shock and severe hypotension caused by various reasons, and certain diseases. Some mural thrombi and atherosclerotic plaque shedding in the heart are also major causes. Cerebral hemorrhage is just the opposite. Cerebral hemorrhage refers to hemorrhage in the brain parenchyma, accounting for about 20% of all strokes, but the mortality rate is as high as 30-40% (the data is for reference only, because the disease situation changes every year, and the value is not fixed) . Hypertension is the most common cause of cerebral hemorrhage. Other causes include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, blood diseases, brain tumors, etc.

Is cerebral infarction dangerous? Why do some patients recover well after suffering from cerebral infarction? Some patients are paralyzed in bed? Didn't he even save his life?

Why do some patients recover well after suffering from cerebral infarction? Some patients are paralyzed in bed? Didn't he even save his life? This is because it is closely related to the specific intracranial location of their cerebral infarction, the size of the cerebral infarction, medication status, diagnosis and treatment time, individual physical fitness, and whether there is further rehabilitation treatment. Each patient's recovery situation will be different. Differential. Therefore, when more people in the society understand this disease, more patients can be helped, sent to the doctor as early as possible, treated as early as possible, and reduce the sequelae as much as possible, which will have positive significance for the patient's family and society.
