sequelae of cerebral thrombosis

Cerebral thrombosis refers to the formation of a thrombus under conditions of slow blood flow, altered blood components, or increased blood viscosity, based on pathological changes in the walls of arteries supplying the brain both intracranially and extracranially, resulting in vascular occlusion. Clinically, hemiplegia is the main manifestation. It most commonly occurs after the age of 50, with a slightly higher incidence in males than in females.

Clinically, hemiplegia is the main manifestation. It most commonly occurs after the age of 50, with a slightly higher incidence in males than in females. The sequelae of cerebral thrombosis manifest as hemiplegia, and complete recovery is very difficult. Symptoms caused by the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis generally include frequent headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and even hemiplegia. In the early stage, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine methods of supplementing qi, activating blood circulation to remove stasis, and dredging collaterals can be used, combined with acupuncture and massage therapy. At the same time, blood pressure should be effectively controlled, with a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet, and maintaining a pleasant mood. Atherosclerosis is a common cause of cerebral thrombosis, to the extent that the latest classification of cerebrovascular diseases has renamed cerebral thrombosis as "atherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction." The occurrence of atherosclerosis is related to vascular endothelial cell injury, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hemodynamic abnormalities. The etiology of atherosclerosis is considered to be related to hyperlipidemia, particularly elevated levels of a substance called low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
