Cavernous cerebral infarction, age-related brain changes, needs to be interpreted in two ways. It can be mainly summarized as the brain being in a state of ischemia and hypoxia as well as showing atrophy and other related conditions. Both of these brain changes can occur at the same time.
1. Cavernous cerebral infarction: it mainly refers to the occlusion of some small blood vessels at the end of cerebral blood vessels, which causes necrosis of nerve cells at the end, but the scope is not big and it belongs to a very small type of infarction. It often indicates cerebrovascular diseases, such as large vessel stenosis, large vessel occlusion, etc., and requires further improvement of angiography to make it clear.
2. Age-related brain changes: mainly refers to the process of degeneration and atrophy of nerve cells with age. There are cerebral arteriosclerosis as well as mild cerebral atrophy, cerebral white matter degeneration and so on. This often predicts that there may be some cognitive decline, such as memory loss.
If clinical symptoms occur, it is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment, improve the examination, clarify the condition, and carry out treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
