Does cerebral atrophy due to cerebral infarction require surgery?

Cerebral atrophy caused by cerebral infarction usually does not require surgical treatment. Cerebral infarction is an impairment of blood circulation in the brain, resulting in limited ischemic necrosis or softening of brain tissue caused by ischemia and hypoxia. Cerebral atrophy is the dilatation of the ventricles and subarachnoid space secondary to a decrease in brain tissue volume caused by various reasons. Insufficient blood supply to the brain as a result of cerebral infarction can cause cerebral atrophy. Cerebral atrophy caused by disease can be treated for the original disease. Intravenous thrombolysis, vascular intervention, antiplatelet aggregation therapy, anticoagulation, and cerebral protection therapy may be prescribed in the acute phase of cerebral infarction, but it is difficult to ameliorate the cerebral atrophy that has developed, and the cerebral atrophy itself does not require, and is not amenable to, surgical treatment. There is no effective treatment for brain atrophy itself, and only the best possible treatment can be given to slow down the progression of brain atrophy, and it is not possible to restore the atrophied brain tissue through surgery.
