Cerebral arteriosclerosis

Cerebral arteriosclerosis refers to chronic encephalopathy such as neurasthenic syndrome, arteriosclerotic dementia, and pseudobulbar palsy caused by multiple cerebral infarctions, softening, necrosis, and atrophy after cerebral arteriosclerosis. Cerebral arteriosclerosis can cause acute cerebral circulatory disorders such as transient cerebral ischemic attack (TCIA) and stroke, as well as chronic cerebral ischemia symptoms. The symptoms and signs differ from those of TCIA, stroke, and vascular dementia. When there is a history of TCIA or mild stroke without obvious sequelae, a diagnosis of cerebral arteriosclerosis is more appropriate. Therefore, the diagnosis of cerebral arteriosclerosis is still necessary at present, as it is helpful in reminding patients and doctors of early prevention and treatment of stroke.
