What is the difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis

Cerebral thrombosis, also known as atherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction, is a type of cerebral infarction and the most common type of cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a clinical syndrome in which the blood supply to the brain is impaired for various reasons, leading to ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of local brain tissues and corresponding neurological deficits. Cerebral infarction can be divided into atherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction (cerebral thrombosis), cerebral embolism, lacunar cerebral infarction, hemorrhagic cerebral infarction, asymptomatic cerebral infarction, and other types, among which cerebral thrombosis is the most common. Cerebral thrombosis is a disease caused by atherosclerosis, arteritis, and hypercoagulable state of blood, which leads to the formation of cerebral thrombus, blocking the blood supply to the brain, causing ischemia, hypoxia, and necrosis of brain tissues, and various cerebral dysfunctions. Its clinical symptoms depend on the location and area of infarction, and the common ones include weakness and paralysis of one side of the limbs, abnormal body sensation, slurred speech, blindness, memory and mental disorders. To sum up, cerebral infarction is a general term for ischemic brain injurious diseases, and cerebral thrombosis is one of the most common types.
