Cavernous cerebral infarction may be complicated by lung infection and depression if not treated in time, and is prone to recurrence, which is dangerous.
Cavernous cerebral infarction refers to the formation of small infarct foci due to the infarction of small penetrating arteries in the deep part of the brainstem or cerebral hemisphere, which may manifest as clinical symptoms such as dizziness, headache, feeling of heaviness in the limbs, memory loss, depression and so on.
The disease can be cured in most patients with timely and standardized treatment. Complications such as lung infection (caused by prolonged bed rest) and depression may occur if the disease is not treated in time.
The prognosis of cured lacunar cerebral infarction is usually good, but it is easy to recur, and if recurrent, there may be bilateral cone beam signs, pseudo medullary palsy, and even vascular dementia.
A single lacunar cerebral infarction is generally not serious, but requires timely and standardized treatment, if not actively treated, other potentially life-threatening complications may occur. Once diagnosed with lacunar cerebral infarction, one should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
