Which is more serious, a brain attack or a blood clot?

Cerebral infarction is cerebral infarction, and its pathophysiological classification includes cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism as well as due to hemodynamic factors, so cerebral thrombosis is a type of cerebral infarction, and the two can not be directly compared to which one is serious.
Cerebral thrombosis, or cerebral thrombosis, is a pathophysiological classification of cerebral infarction, mainly caused by atherosclerosis, the specific degree of severity and vascular site related, if the blockage of small local blood vessels, ischemic necrosis of brain tissue is less, the impact of the function and the life-threatening lower.
If large blood vessels are blocked, such as the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery, the severity of the disease can cause large cerebral infarcts and the formation of cerebral hernia. Or posterior circulation lesions, blocking the brainstem area, involving the life center, may be life-threatening.
Cerebral thrombosis belongs to cerebral infarction, so it can not be compared. If cerebral infarction occurs, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and under the guidance of the doctor.
