Cerebral infarction includes multiple lacunar cerebral infarction, that is, multiple lacunar cerebral infarction is a special type of cerebral infarction. 1. Cerebral infarction is also known as ischemic stroke. It is a general term for diseases in which the blood supply to the brain is impaired due to lesions of various cerebral blood vessels, leading to dysfunction of local brain tissues. According to the cause, it is divided into 5 types, including atherosclerosis type, small artery occlusion type, cardiogenic embolism type, other etiology type, and unexplained type. Among them, small artery occlusion type cerebral infarction includes multiple lacunar cerebral infarction. 2. Cavernous cerebral infarction, also known as cavernous infarction, is mostly seen in middle-aged and old-aged patients with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis. Under the action of risk factors, the occlusion of tiny arteries in the deep part of the brain causes very small local ischemic lesions called lacunar infarction. Multiple lacunar infarcts often occur in the basal ganglia region, with multiple sites of development, small lesions, mild clinical manifestations, mostly simple motor or sensory deficits, and a better prognosis, usually without headache, cranial hypertension, and disorders of consciousness. If the corresponding signs appear, you should go to the hospital in time.
