stroke

Tran Thi Khanh Huyen

 • Suddenly, progress within hours
to day

3. Symptoms • Often during sleep

of ischemic
• Headache, vomiting, nausea
stroke
and hemiplegia

• numbness of hands, feet, and

half of the body
 Symptoms vary depending on the location of the lesion

50%
Lesions in the cerebral hemisphere
• Contralateral paralysis
• Decreased contralateral sensation
• Reduced ipsilateral vision and difficulty
speaking
 Symptoms vary depending on the location of the lesion

25%
Brain stem damage
Symptoms appear varied
• Quadriplegia
• Visual disturbances
• Locked-in syndrome
 Symptoms vary depending on the location of the lesion

25%
Defective lesions

• The patient remains conscious

• Symptoms may be motor- or sensory-
related, or both
 4. Subject methods of
prevention

THU UYEN
A. The group of subjects at high risk of cerebral infarction

Heart disease. cerebrovascular disease, high

blood pressure, diabetes, and clotting disorders

Smokers, alcoholism

Obesity, inactivity, high cholesterol, and stress

 B. Prevention of cerebral infarction

Building a healthy active lifestyle

Treat or radically control diabetes, hypertension,

dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease
5.DIAGNOSIS

AU DUONG MY
 Diagnosis of
cerebral infarction

Clinical symtoms Supportive laboratory

tests
 Vomiting

Hemiplegia
Headache
Clinical symtoms

Facial paralysis Dificulty speaking

 Computed tomography
(CT scanner)
CT scan angiography is often indicated to see if there is an occlusion of
large blood vessels
CT scan will show a reduced density in a cerebral cortex, the subcortical
area, or the white matter or deep gray matter
 Magenic resonance imaging(MRI)

Cerebral infarction is slightly reduced signal on T1W image, increased signal

on T2W image in the acute stage
