Cerebral infarction due to embolism of precerebral arteries - what does this mean
Cerebral infarction due to embolism of precerebral arteries is a condition where a clot or other material blocks the flow of blood to the brain, usually through the precerebral arteries. this can cause stroke-like symptoms, such as difficulty speaking, paralysis, and confusion. if not treated quickly, it can cause permanent brain damage or even death.
What happens during the disease - cerebral infarction due to embolism of precerebral arteries
Cerebral infarction due to embolism of precerebral arteries is caused by an embolism that travels to the precerebral arteries, blocking the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. this can lead to a lack of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in the death of brain tissue, which can cause a stroke. the symptoms of this condition can vary depending on the location of the embolism, but may include headache, confusion, loss of consciousness, paralysis, and seizures.
