Acute brainstem infarction

The symptoms of acute brainstem infarction mainly occur in the elderly, which can cause great harm to the elderly's body. It can lead to symptoms such as arteriosclerosis and hemiplegia, which can seriously threaten life safety. Therefore, patients with acute brainstem infarction should be sent to the hospital immediately. Regarding the treatment of acute brainstem infarction, we should understand the relevant articles and take good care measures according to the doctor's treatment method.

Can brainstem infarction be cured?

Brainstem infarction occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Among these people, a large proportion suffer from hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Moreover, this disease develops rapidly, and the main manifestation is hemiplegia or quadriplegia. So can brainstem infarction be cured?

1. First of all, everyone should understand the pathological changes of brainstem infarction. Basically, on the basis of cerebral arteriosclerosis, blood clots are formed in the patient's blood vessels, which blocks the normal flow of blood in the blood vessels, thereby causing ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of brain tissue.

2. These phenomena fully explain why we see different conditions in patients with brainstem infarction. Some may only suffer from hemiplegia, some may become demented, and some may even become a vegetable. Large-area brainstem infarction is fatal.

3. If brainstem infarction is discovered and treated early, these serious sequelae will not occur and it may be cured. However, once brain cell necrosis occurs, most people cannot be completely cured and will be left with many sequelae.

Which day is the most dangerous for brainstem infarction?

Generally, patients with brainstem infarction are elderly. There are very few young people, and most of them suffer from acute brainstem infarction. The families of these patients are very concerned about the question of which day of brainstem infarction is the most dangerous.

1. First of all, if you suffer from brainstem infarction, the critical period is generally one week to ten days. Because this period of time is the peak period of cerebral edema that patients must go through. As long as they can safely pass through this dangerous period, there will be no more critical situations later.

2. What I need to tell all my friends here is that brainstem infarction is a very dangerous disease. Because the brain is the life center of our body, if there is a stroke in this part, the danger period will be determined according to the size of the infarct area and the degree of infarction.

3. Within the first five to seven days, the symptoms of cerebral infarction may worsen, but as long as the treatment is timely and the patient has a strong desire to survive, he or she will be able to survive these dangerous periods. If your family members suddenly suffer from headaches or memory loss, they should go to the hospital immediately for a head CT scan to facilitate early detection and treatment.
