Brain stem infarction can generally recover to the degree of self-care, the specific recovery is related to the patient’s physical condition, whether to actively exercise, infarction area and so on. It is recommended that patients with brainstem infarction follow the doctor’s instructions to actively carry out treatment and exercise. Brain stem infarction is mainly caused by vertebral-basilar artery sclerosis, narrowing of arterial lumen, etc. It is common in cerebral atherosclerotic disease, and the patients have dizziness, tilting of the eyes, difficulty in swallowing, or even impaired consciousness and other manifestations. The prognosis of different patients varies due to differences in the size of brainstem infarcts in different populations, individual physical fitness, and whether or not they actively engage in functional exercises. Generally speaking, most patients can recover to the degree of self-care and can basically meet the daily needs of the organism. However, patients with larger infarcts or poorer underlying conditions may have a poorer prognosis and may be left with sequelae. It is recommended that patients with brainstem infarction actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, functional exercise, and try to maintain a good mood in order to promote the recovery of the disease.
