Early detection of cerebral thrombosis, what are the symptoms of cerebral thrombosis?

Cerebral thrombosis is relatively common clinically, and is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. This disease is particularly prone to cause cerebral infarction. The symptoms of cerebral thrombosis also manifest in many aspects. What is more obvious is that patients may experience various disorders of consciousness, such as sensory impairment, or even sudden onset.

1. General symptoms:

This disease is more common in elderly people over 50 to 60 years old with arteriosclerosis, some with a history of diabetes. It often occurs when the patient is quiet or sleeping, and the symptoms gradually reach a peak within 1 to 3 days. Some patients have had one or more transient ischemic attacks before the onset of the disease. Except for severe cases, the symptoms gradually reach a peak within 1 to 3 days, the patient is mostly conscious, and the increase in intracranial pressure is not obvious.

2. Localized neurological symptoms of the brain:

The variability is large and is related to the degree of vascular occlusion, the size and location of the occluded blood vessels, and the quality of collateral circulation.

3. Early symptoms

(1) Sudden temporary blindness or blurred vision;

(2) Sudden aphasia, or slurred speech or difficulty speaking, but the mind is still clear (conscious) and the patient quickly returns to normal without leaving any trace;

(3) Unexplained intellectual decline, difficulty concentrating, difficulty thinking, and reduced work efficiency;

(4) Examination revealed cerebral arteriosclerosis (fundus examination) or hypertension, or increased blood lipids and blood viscosity, and changes in cerebral blood flow chart indicating insufficient blood supply;

(5) Recent numbness or weakness in the hands and feet, and objects held in the hands suddenly fall to the ground;

(6) Frequent dizziness, some even fainting suddenly but waking up quickly;

(7) Recent memory impairment, especially a marked decline in memory or even complete amnesia.

4. Sudden onset:

The disease starts suddenly, often starting in one upper limb, and then the symptoms of neurological dysfunction progressively affect other parts of the limb on that side within a few hours or one or two days.

5. Pain

Most cases are not accompanied by symptoms of intracranial hypertension such as headache and vomiting. Secondary cerebral edema that occurs within a few days after occlusion of a larger artery can worsen the symptoms and lead to impaired consciousness. Severe cerebral edema can also cause the risk of fatal displacement of intracranial structures (brain herniation).
