Cognitive impairment caused by cerebral infarction may improve significantly in a short period of time, or fail to recover and further aggravate.
Cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction is mainly related to the site of infarction, which is mainly seen in critical infarction, such as frontal lobe, temporal lobe, etc.; multiple infarction and subcortical ischemic infarction.
If the cognitive impairment is caused by key site infarction, if intravenous thrombolysis and other treatments can be carried out in time to restore the cerebral blood flow, the patient’s cognitive impairment symptoms can be recovered quickly; if it is multiple cerebral infarcts caused by vascular cognitive impairment generally can not be recovered, and the progress of the infarction can be slowed down by medication and prophylaxis of cerebral infarcts.
Cognitive impairment caused by cerebral infarction should be intervened and treated as early as possible.
