Ischemic cerebral infarction: the consequences and symptoms of this disease

A real plague of the 21st century was the ischemic infarction of the brain. In this serious disease, the circulation of the central nervous system is disrupted. Then, radical tissue damage is observed. Some physicians believe that the consequences of this disease are irreversible.

The main reason why an ischemic heart attack develops is a complete or inadequate intake of some parts of the blood brain.

This anomaly most often leads to disability or death of the patient.

General information

When a person develops ischemic stroke, multiple foci of necrosis occur, which are called infarctions. In the early stages, the substance of the brain swells, the zone of blanching is clearly drawn.

The boundaries of pathology differ in insufficient relief. As a result of research, doctors note the presence of necro-changes in cells, as well as manifestations of cerebral edema. The late term development of ischemic cerebral infarction is characterized by the presence of softening. The mass acquires a specific gray shade and begins to crumble.

Why the disease develops

The main reason for the development of a terrible disease is considered by physicians to clog the artery. This occurs against thromboembolism. Among other reasons it is necessary to allocate:

1. Blood clots formation( risk zone - atrium).
2. Closure of thrombus( observed against the background of thrombophlebitis of the legs).
3. Injury of atherosclerotic vascular plaques.
4. Spasm of the cerebral arteries( prolonged).

Risk zone

Ischemic cerebral infarction most often progresses in individuals whose history includes:

• hypertensive disease of the second and third stages;
• vascular atherosclerosis( the arteries of the human "engine" are affected, as well as of the kidneys and brain);
• pathology of vascular and cardiac systems;
• endocrine pathology;
• systemic abnormalities of connective tissue.

It also happens that a dangerous anomaly develops in heavy smokers, as well as people who abuse strong alcoholic beverages.

How the anomaly of the

manifests most often ischemic stroke - a cerebral infarction attacks the elderly. Unfortunately, more and more often young people who have not reached the age of forty turn to complain about the symptoms of this terrible disease.

When attacking the disease

According to doctors, ischemic stroke - a cerebral infarction occurs both in the evening and in the morning. Most often a person complains of symptoms after a dream or even during rest.

Sometimes a strong physical load is a provoking factor. Much more often the symptoms develop after severe stress, emotional fatigue or "overdose" with alcohol.

The disease progresses within two to three hours. But sometimes it takes a few days to develop it.

The first swallow

Sometimes a person can feel the development of a terrible disease. At the same time, he complains of such symptoms as:

1. Severe dizziness( often with a person getting dark in the eyes).
2. Numbness in the hands or feet.
3. Feeling of weakness in the hands or feet.
4. Availability of temporary speech violations.

Consequences of

If the focus of the defeat was not large, the actual centers remained unaffected and a person can monitor his needs, then terrible consequences do not threaten him.

In this case, no complications are observed and the patient after hospital therapy can be discharged home. There, under the supervision of relatives, he is going through a rather complicated recovery phase.

Subject to strict adherence to all requirements, as well as regular follow-up from a neurologist, the prognosis after the recovery period is quite favorable. More than fifty percent of patients live for another five to ten years.
