Cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of cerebral arteries - what does this mean

Cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of cerebral arteries occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the arteries supplying blood to the brain, blocking the flow of oxygen-rich blood and causing tissue damage in the area. this can lead to a stroke, which can cause permanent damage to the brain.

What happens during the disease - cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of cerebral arteries

Cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of cerebral arteries is caused by a blockage of the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain, caused by a clotting of the blood. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including narrowing of the arteries, high blood pressure, increased cholesterol, or an underlying medical condition such as diabetes. the blockage of the vessels results in a lack of oxygen to the brain, which can cause significant damage to the brain cells. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including stroke-like symptoms, seizures, and paralysis.
