CT after cerebral hemorrhage surgery shows cerebral infarction or soft foci suggesting that cerebral infarction once occurred at the site, which is now transformed into soft foci.
Cerebral infarction is a kind of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, due to the occlusion of blood vessels supplying blood to local brain tissues, the corresponding brain tissues undergo ischemic and hypoxic necrosis, and infarction foci are formed locally, which are mostly shown as low density shadows on the CT in the acute stage, and with the passage of time, the necrotic neuronal cells within the infarction foci liquefy, which are shown as even lower density on the CT, and are called softening foci.
If the cerebral infarction foci are small or the neurological function of the site of occurrence is dispersed, there may often be no obvious clinical symptoms, so they are not detected in time, and the old foci are found only in the subsequent examination.
When this happens, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to screen for cerebrovascular disease risk factors such as blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids, etc., and take hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering drugs to control them if necessary, in addition to taking secondary prevention drugs for cerebrovascular disease, such as aspirin and atorvastatin, to prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction.
