1. What are brain diseases?

Brain diseases can generally be divided into three categories:

1. Hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease : (1) Cerebral hemorrhage: It is the most common hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. The main causes are hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral infarction, brain tumor, blood disease, arteritis, vascular malformation, etc. Sometimes it can also be caused by the use of anticoagulants or thrombolytic drugs. (2) Subarachnoid hemorrhage: mostly caused by congenital abnormalities of cerebral blood vessels. (3) Extradural and subdural hemorrhage: mostly caused by trauma.

2. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease : (1) Cerebral infarction: It is the most common ischemic cerebrovascular disease, including cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, lacunar cerebral infarction, etc. caused by various reasons. (2) Transient ischemic attack (TIA, mini stroke): A transient attack of cerebral ischemia can completely recover to normal within 24 hours, but those who suffer repeated attacks may have cerebral infarction.

3. Others : cerebral arteriosclerosis, various cerebral arteritis, cerebral arterial ischemic syndrome, intracranial venous sinus or vein thrombosis, etc.

The above-mentioned cerebrovascular diseases have different causes and pathogenesis. There are great differences in their clinical manifestations, treatment principles and prognosis.
