Cerebral Thrombosis

Cerebral thrombosis

        Cerebral thrombosis is the official name for the stroke. The stroke occurs when a blood clot is formed in one of the body arteries which is supplying the brain. The blood clot blocks the artery, and in this way the artery stops functioning. This creates another different form of stroke called cerebral embolism.

       The effect results in reducing the nutrition and blood flow from one side of the brain. The blood clot formats in the cerebral vessels only if occurred a damage to one or more arteries. This is usually caused by atherosclerosis. These vessels can be degenerated and damaged. Cerebral thrombosis usually occurs at the old people who have problems with the high blood pressure and filled arteries.

       Cerebral thrombosis usually happens in the morning or in the night. The blood pressure is low in these intervals of the day. This kind of thrombosis is usually followed by one or more mini strokes.

       In serious cases of neurologic deterioration a beneficial medical care is the open thrombectomy and local thrombolitic. The persons who choose this kind of methods have experienced a progress despite adequate anticoagulation and intensive surgical care.

Cerebral thrombosis symptoms

       The symptoms of cerebral thrombosis depend on how big the vessel and the clot are. If one of the arteries that lead to the brain is blocked, then the patient can loose consciousness and can remain paralyzed on one part of the body.

       This can also aggravate the speaking if the left cerebral hemisphere has been affected. Some symptoms are the same as those of cerebral embolism, but the debut is not so sudden and can include some warning signs and a few hours in which the person will feel faint, dizzy and will have a headache.

       All these tend to happen when the individual is sleeping or resting. If the cerebral thrombosis is very small and occurs in one of the smaller arteries, the symptoms can be vague and can be not so noticeable.

       The period of recovery after a small cerebral thrombosis is very fast, and the full functioning of your brain can be fixed in a few days or weeks. In the complicated cases, when a large side of the brain is affected, the recovery process will last longer or it could remain paralyzed or his insufficient mental degree can be affected.

       If you have problems with the atherosclerosis, with the filling of the arteries, or with the high blood pressure or you had mini strokes it is necessary to visit a doctor for medical care for helping you prevent the possibility of a cerebral thrombosis. This will involve surgery or drugs or maybe a combination of both types of treatment.

       Cerebral thrombosis may have seriously consequences. Studies have shown that it has been found to be more common at women then at men. Has been reported that 30% of patients with cerebral thrombosis experienced full recovery.
