How long can a person with cerebral infarction live without eating

Many people don’t know how long a person with cerebral infarction can survive without eating. With the progress of society, the material wealth of society has increased, and the number of patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia has increased, as has the number of patients with cerebral infarction. So how long can a patient with cerebral infarction survive without eating? Under normal circumstances, they can survive up to ten days, but if they don't drink water, they can only survive about a week. There are many patients with cerebral infarction around us. Let us have a brief understanding of this disease.

Cerebral infarction was formerly known as cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, which refers to ischemic necrosis or softening of localized brain tissue due to impaired blood supply, ischemia and hypoxia in the brain.

Cerebral infarction, as a sudden brain disease, can occur at any age, and the degree of necrosis varies depending on the location and size of the thrombus. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 45 to 70. The onset is acute, often without prodromal symptoms. Focal neurological signs reach a peak within minutes to hours, and often present as complete stroke with clear consciousness or mild disturbance of consciousness. Embolism of the internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery trunk leads to large-area cerebral infarction, which may cause severe cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and even brain herniation and coma, and rarely epileptic seizures. Embolism of the vertebral-basilar artery system often leads to coma. In some cases, focal signs are stable or improved for a period of time and then worsen, indicating recurrence of infarction or secondary bleeding.
