Sequelae of cerebral infarction

Cerebral infarction has a higher incidence rate among the elderly over 55 years old, and is more common in men than in women. In addition to focusing on the treatment of cerebral infarction, the sequelae that follow cannot be underestimated. The recovery rate of sequelae is slower than that of cerebral infarction. Medical staff need to take care of patients carefully, but some young people are also starting to show this symptom. So we have to pay attention to this disease.

Generally speaking, people are not very aware of this disease. However, as people's work pressure has increased in recent years, young people have also begun to show this symptom. I just didn't expect it to be a symptom of the sequelae of cerebral infarction. Let us now understand the sequelae of cerebral infarction.

Sequelae of cerebral infarction refers to the existence of symptoms such as hemiplegia one year after the onset of cerebral infarction. This period is also called the sequelae period of cerebral infarction. Compared with the recovery period, the recovery speed is slower.

The main symptoms include hemiplegia, hemilimb disorder, limb numbness, hemianopsia, aphasia or crossed sensory disorder, external eye muscle paralysis, nystagmus, dyssynapsis, language disorder, memory loss, facial paralysis, dysphagia, choking on food and water, dizziness and headache, etc.

Language disorder: It is in the left cerebral cortex. When cerebrovascular disease occurs on the left side, difficulty in speaking will occur, which is aphasia.

Intellectual and mental disorders: Cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction is more serious or has diffuse damage.

Hemiplegia: Because the brain's nerve innervation is crossed, that is, the left side of the cranial nerve tissue controls the limb activities on the right side; the right side of the cranial nerve tissue controls the limb activities on the left side. When a blood vessel in one cerebral hemisphere is blocked or bleeds, the brain tissue in that area is damaged.

The above-mentioned sequelae of cerebral infarction cannot be ignored. Medical staff should have more contact with patients, understand their pain, keep them in a good mood and eliminate tension. Patients must be detected and treated as early as possible. You still need to take good care of yourself within one year after recovering from a cerebral infarction, and the sequelae should not be dealt with carelessly.
