Whether headache caused by lacunar cerebral infarction is serious or not cannot be generalized. If headache is caused by lacunar cerebral infarction itself, then it is not serious; if headache is caused by secondary cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage secondary to lacunar cerebral infarction, then it is more serious.
Cavernous cerebral infarction itself can cause headache, but cavernous cerebral infarction itself is not serious, it may lead to symptoms such as mild hemiparesis, sensory abnormality, dysarthria, etc., which are generally not serious.
However, if the patient has a second cerebral infarction after the lacunar cerebral infarction, the second cerebral infarction is more serious if the infarction is larger in scope, and the patient suffers from headache due to the ischemia and edema of the brain nerves, which is followed by the increase of intracranial pressure, and the infarction is more serious if the infarction is larger in scope, and the patient is more likely to suffer from cerebral herniation, which may even lead to the danger of life.
After lacunar cerebral infarction, the ischemic area to restore perfusion is easy to secondary cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage will also make the patient’s headache, if it is a small amount of bleeding generally will not endanger the patient’s life, but a large number of hemorrhage or persistent bleeding, it is possible to endanger the patient’s life.
If headache occurs after lacunar cerebral infarction, please follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
