What diseases are easily confused with cerebral embolism?

  The emergence of cerebral thrombosis has caused great harm to the health of many elderly people, especially in the early stage when patients will feel numbness of hands and feet, memory loss, mental retardation and other symptoms, but after the emergence of these symptoms are very easy to confuse with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral embolism and other disease symptoms, and then affect the best effect of treatment, then, for cerebral thrombosis should be confused with which diseases?  1, cerebral hemorrhage: cerebral infarction sometimes resembles the clinical manifestation of small amount of cerebral hemorrhage, but the onset of the disease in activity, rapid progress of the disease, history of hypertension often suggests cerebral hemorrhage, CT examination can confirm the diagnosis.  2, cerebral embolism: the onset of the disease is rapid, and the focal signs reach their peak in seconds to minutes; there are often cardiogenic embolic sources, such as wind heart disease, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, subacute bacterial endocarditis, and combined atrial fibrillation, etc. It is common for middle cerebral artery embolism to cause large cerebral infarction, resulting in cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, often accompanied by epileptic seizures.  3. Intracranial occupying lesions: intracranial tumors, subdural hematomas and brain abscesses can have a stroke-like onset, with focal signs such as hemiparesis, and are easily confused with cerebral infarction when the signs of increased intracranial pressure are not obvious.  What are the symptoms of cerebral thrombosis sequelae: 1. Larger scale or multiple recurrences are also the symptoms of cerebral thrombosis sequelae, which may include mental and intellectual impairment: personality change, negative pessimism, depression, mental atrophy, agitation, etc.  2. “Hemiplegia” is the most common sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. One side of the limb has reduced muscle strength, unfavorable activity or completely unable to move. It is often accompanied by sensory impairment of the ipsilateral limb, such as not knowing whether it is hot or cold, or not feeling pain. Sometimes it may also be accompanied by visual field loss of the same side.  3.Symptoms of cerebral thrombosis include: headache, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, dreaminess, loss of concentration. Insomnia, dreaminess, lack of concentration, tinnitus, blurred vision, excessive sweating, palpitations, unsteady pace, neck pain, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, memory loss, and inability to tolerate noise, etc.  4.Aphasia is also a symptom of the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. Motor aphasia shows that the patient can understand other people’s words, but cannot express his own meaning. Sensory aphasia is no language expression disorder, but can not understand other people’s words, also can not understand what they say, as a result of answering non-questions, “talking to oneself”. Naming aphasia is when you see an object and can tell what it is used for, but you can’t call it by its name.  Through the above detailed introduction, I believe that now you must have a deeper understanding. In daily life, once you find an elderly person at home with symptoms such as numbness of hands and feet, weakness, memory impairment, sudden aphasia, etc., you should actively raise your vigilance and never appear to be confused with the above-mentioned diseases to prevent more harm to your body.
