An unanswered message saved the life of an 80-year-old mother. What is the difference between stroke and cerebral infarction?

One unanswered message saved the life of an 80-year-old mother. What is the difference between stroke and cerebral infarction? Let’s discuss it together.

Recently, a Ms. Wang who works in Nanjing sent a text message to her 82-year-old mother, reminding her to wear more clothes and pay attention to her health when the weather gets cold. But she didn't receive a reply from her mother, so Ms. Wang called her mother several times, but no one answered. Ms. Wang felt uneasy. When she came home at night, she found her mother's door locked from the inside. The key wouldn't open and there was no response when she knocked. Ms. Wang immediately called the police and found her mother lying on the ground, unable to wake up despite shouting. The police immediately called 120 emergency calls and sent them to the hospital for first aid. After receiving emergency treatment at the hospital, the old man was out of danger. The final treatment stated: The old man suffered a stroke. Fortunately, the old man was treated in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Stroke is divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is cerebral infarction, that is to say, cerebral infarction is actually a type of stroke. So stroke is stroke or cerebrovascular accident, which is a disease with cerebral ischemia and hemorrhagic injury as its main clinical manifestations. Its mortality and disability rates are high, especially cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction refers to ischemic necrosis or softening of brain tissue caused by cerebral blood supply disorder, ischemia and hypoxia. There is actually no essential difference between cerebral infarction and stroke. Stroke includes cerebral infarction, which means cerebral infarction is a type of stroke. Cerebral ischemia can cause stroke. Cerebral infarction is mainly caused by cerebral blood supply disorder leading to ischemia and hypoxia, and causes ischemic necrosis and softening of brain tissue.

Cerebral infarction is also called ischemic stroke, because the blood circulation in the brain is blocked, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. It is damage to part of the cranial nerves, or softening of neurological deficits. Symptoms of Stroke: A precursor to a stroke is repeated, momentary dizziness, followed by vision that spins and returns to normal after a few seconds. Cerebral arteriosclerosis can easily lead to early stroke, leading to cerebral ischemia, neuromotor disorders, ataxia and balance disorders. Severe cerebral infarction may lead to limb paralysis and even acute coma and death.
