The mortality rate of medullary infarction is about 50% or more, but the exact situation is to be decided according to the size of the cerebral infarction, the location of the cerebral infarction and the severity of ischemia.
If the area of cerebral infarction is small, and the condition is under control after professional doctor’s treatment, the probability of survival is higher, and some patients may also be cured.
However, if the area of cerebral infarction is large or involves the basic centers (such as respiration, circulation, digestion, etc.), respiratory difficulties and swallowing difficulties will occur, which will lead to the death of the patient in serious cases.
In addition, when the presence of medullary infarction leads to paralysis, the prolonged inability to move may cause the phenomenon of thrombosis in the deep veins of the lower limbs, which may also be life-threatening.
Therefore, when the symptoms appear, should go to the hospital in time for relevant examination, as soon as possible for targeted treatment, to avoid aggravation of the condition.
