Absence or low individual and public risk
Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction - what does this mean
Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries is a condition in which there is a narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the brain. this narrowing can be caused by a buildup of fatty deposits, or by a clot blocking the artery. this can lead to decreased blood flow and oxygen to the brain, but does not typically cause a cerebral infarction (stroke).
What happens during the disease - occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction
The occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries is caused by a narrowing of the arteries due to a buildup of fatty deposits, known as plaque. this buildup of plaque causes a decrease in the flow of blood to the brain, leading to a decrease in oxygen and nutrients to the brain. this can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. in some cases, the occlusion and stenosis can be severe enough to cause a stroke, but in most cases, it does not lead to cerebral infarction.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Neurological examination
- CT scan of the brain
- MRI of the brain
- Angiography
- Ultrasonography
- Doppler ultrasonography
- Transcranial Doppler
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To improve the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain to reduce the risk of a stroke.
- Medication to reduce inflammation and/or blood clotting
- Surgery to widen the narrowing arteries
- Angioplasty and/or stenting to open up the narrowed arteries
- Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing salt intake, and exercising regularly
- Blood pressure and cholesterol management
- Monitoring for signs and symptoms of a stroke
16 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction - Prevention
The best way to prevent occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, regular monitoring of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as controlling any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, can help reduce the risk of cerebral artery occlusion and stenosis.
