What is cerebral infarction? Is it serious?

Cerebral infarction is a particularly harmful disease. It is caused by cerebral ischemia due to impaired blood supply to the brain. At this time, lack of oxygen will cause necrosis of brain tissue. The most common clinical cases are cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism. It is particularly harmful and can easily cause hemiplegia and monoplegia in patients, language disorders, ataxia, and in severe cases, it can easily lead to death of patients.

Harm of cerebral infarction

The main symptoms include hemiplegia (half of the body paralysis), hemilimb disorder, limb numbness, hemianopsia, and aphasia. Or crossed paralysis, crossed sensory impairment, external ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus, difficulty in forming words, language disorder, memory loss, facial paralysis, difficulty swallowing, choking on food and water, ataxia, dizziness and headache, etc.

What are the clinical symptoms of cerebral infarction?

Clinical symptoms: 1. Patients with mild cerebral infarction will have transient visual impairment. What are the symptoms of mild cerebral infarction? Experts say that patients will suddenly experience blindness in front of their eyes, which will recover after a few seconds, without nausea, vomiting, impaired consciousness and limb paralysis. This is mainly caused by reduced intracranial blood flow or tiny blood clots passing through the retinal arteries, and is an early symptom of mild cerebral infarction.

Clinical symptom 2: Some patients with cerebral infarction will show symptoms of salivation, mainly incoherent speech and drooling, accompanied by symptoms of stroke, at this time, there is a possibility of sudden onset of the disease.

Clinical symptom three: Patients with symptoms of mild cerebral infarction will yawn continuously. As cerebral arteriosclerosis progresses, the lumen will become narrower and narrower, and cerebral ischemia and hypoxia will worsen, especially when the respiratory center is hypoxic, continuous yawning will occur. Experts say that about 80% of people yawn continuously within 5 to 10 days before an ischemic stroke. At this time, everyone should be alert to the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

Clinical symptoms 4. What are the clinical symptoms of cerebral infarction? Speech and spirit will undergo certain changes. Patients with mild cerebral infarction will experience difficulty in pronunciation, aphasia, difficulty writing, sudden changes in personality, silence, indifferent expression, or irritability, talkativeness, and restlessness.
