Cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis are both diseases caused by vascular lesions in the brain, but the scope of the disease they refer to is slightly different. The severity of cerebrovascular disease is usually defined according to the site of onset, the size of the lesion and complications, and there is no significant difference between the two. Cerebral thrombosis refers to a series of symptoms caused by lesions in the blood vessels of the brain, secondary to the formation of blood clots, resulting in thickening, narrowing or occlusion of the vessel walls. Cerebral infarction is the most common cerebrovascular lesion, and common causes include cerebral thrombosis, lacunar cerebral infarction, and cerebral embolism. Cerebral thrombosis is an important cause of cerebral infarction. Cerebral thrombosis or other causes of acute cerebral tissue ischemia will cause cerebral tissue hypoxia, ischemic necrosis, part of the neurological function of the damage, the rate of death and disability is high, should actively control the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease, to reduce its occurrence and recurrence. Whether it is cerebral infarction or cerebral thrombosis, thrombolysis, antiplatelet aggregation or anticoagulation should be carried out according to the size and severity of the lesion, depending on the patient’s condition and individualized treatment. Patients should also pay attention to a light diet to reduce the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease.
