Sequelae of cerebral infarction - what does this mean

Sequela of cerebral infarction is a condition that occurs when part of the brain is deprived of oxygen due to a blockage in the brain's blood vessels, resulting in tissue death and permanent damage to the affected area. this can lead to a range of symptoms, including physical and cognitive impairments, memory loss, and difficulty speaking or understanding language.

What happens during the disease - sequelae of cerebral infarction

The pathogenesis of sequelae of cerebral infarction is caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain due to a blockage in the arteries, resulting in an insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. this leads to cell death in the affected area, resulting in impaired motor and cognitive functions, as well as other physical and psychological sequelae.
