Callosal infarction is a type of cerebral infarction, which is generally less life-threatening than other types of infarction.
No matter what kind of cerebral infarction, it is an emergency in neurology, and the severity of cerebral infarction is closely related to the location, size, number of infarcts, and whether the treatment is timely.
The corpus callosum is a nerve fiber that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. If infarction occurs, the patient may show symptoms such as emotional abnormalities, personality changes, higher cortical dysfunctions such as memory loss, slow reaction time, disorientation, and coordination abnormalities of both hands such as inability to button up, etc., but it does not cause serious paralysis or life-threatening symptoms.
Compared to other cerebral infarcts, such as brainstem infarcts, they generally cause limb paralysis, coma, sensory loss, autonomic nervous system dysfunction and even apnea leading to death.
Regardless of the location of the brain infarction, prompt medical attention should be sought.
