A cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis are essentially the same in that a blood vessel inside the brain is blocked for some reason.

However, strictly speaking, there are some differences between the two.

The concept of cerebral infarction is greater than cerebral thrombosis.Although both are blood vessel blockage, cerebral infarction includes cerebral blood vessel blockage caused by various reasons, such as thrombosis within the cerebral blood vessels, cardiogenic embolism, embolism from other sources, vascular occlusion, and other reasons; while cerebral thrombosis is strictly the formation of blood clots within the cerebral blood vessels to the exclusion of cerebral infarction caused by other reasons.

If ischemic cerebrovascular disease occurs, until the cause is fully understood, the scientific term would be cerebral infarction, although doctors are generally less likely to make a point of correcting this even if the patient refers to it as a cerebral thrombosis. After all, the most common type of cerebral infarction is still cerebral thrombosis.

Of course, after doing various laboratory tests and figuring out the causes of cerebral infarction, the purpose of distinguishing between different causes is mainly how to do a good job in the secondary prevention of cerebral infarction.

The secondary prevention of cerebral thrombosis is the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction, which is often taught by doctors. In addition to improving lifestyle and controlling the "three highs", it is recommended to take aspirin or other antiplatelet drugs for a long time;

In other causes of cerebral infarction, such as cardiogenic embolism, oral anticoagulant medications are usually needed for secondary prevention of cerebral infarction recurrence, in addition to treating the heart's own problems.

To summarize, cerebral infarction includes cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral thrombosis is the most common type of cerebral infarction, which can be prevented by lifestyle changes, controlling the "three highs" and taking aspirin and statin.

Cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, stroke, all of these are a manifestation of cerebrovascular disease, very easy to confuse, not to mention the general public, but also many non-specialists are often confused.

The title asks for the difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis, so I'll talk about the concept of both.

Cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis are both ischemic disorders of the brain, the difference being that they encompass different areas. They are subordinate.

Cerebral infarction is broader in scope, it contains three major types of cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism and lacunar cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction is the result of necrosis of brain cells due to impaired blood and oxygen supply to the brain, which leads to a series of clinical symptoms, commonly including hemiparesis, aphasia, and so on.

Cerebral thrombosis is also a kind of cerebral infarction, but it is only one of the types of cerebral infarction, which is due to the localized formation of thrombus in the cerebral artery, and finally leads to arterial blockage, which results in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and necrosis of brain cells. The most common type is atherosclerosis of cerebral arteries, resulting in localized narrowing and easy formation of eddy currents in the blood flow. The hardened arterial wall is damaged and activates the coagulation system, resulting in localized formation of thrombus, which, coupled with narrowing of the blood vessels, can very easily block this artery, thus resulting in cerebral ischemia.

For cerebral infarction, if the blocked blood vessel can be opened at an early stage, it can improve the symptoms of cerebral ischemia and save brain cells on the verge of necrosis, and common methods include intravenous thrombolysis, arterial thrombolysis and interventional thrombolysis. The common methods are intravenous thrombolysis, arterial thrombolysis and interventional thrombolysis. However, it takes a certain period of time to open the blocked blood vessel, and opening the blood vessel after this time will greatly increase the probability of cerebral hemorrhage.

Therefore, once you find a patient with suspected cerebral infarction, don't wait or hesitate, and always send him to a hospital that is equipped to treat him at the first opportunity.

There is still a difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis, and the concepts are explained below.

cerebral hemorrhage

• Strokes are also commonly referred to as strokes and include cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.
• Cerebral infarction is caused by lack of blood to the brain, also known as ischemic stroke.
• Cerebral hemorrhage is caused by bleeding from ruptured blood vessels in the brain, also known as hemorrhagic stroke.

Cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction?

• They both mean the same thing, just different things.

Types of cerebral infarction?

Cerebral infarction is caused by ischemia and consists of two main types: cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism.

1. Cerebral embolism formation

• It refers to the formation of atherosclerosis, or plaque, in the arteries of the brain that first develops in response to risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and smoking.
• The plaque, when unstable, ruptures, leading to the formation of a blood clot that blocks the blood vessel, causing ischemic necrosis in the area of the brain supplied by that vessel.

2、Cerebral embolism

• It refers to emboli formed elsewhere that reach the arteries of the brain with the blood circulation and block the blood vessels.
• Emboli in cerebral embolism come mainly from plugs in the left heart system. For example, cerebral infarction caused by atrial fibrillation is of this type.

Summary:

• Thus, there is still a difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis; a cerebral infarction is much broader and can include a cerebral thrombosis.

Hello, I'm the Life Guard.

Let's start by learning the concept of stroke

Stroke, also known as stroke in Chinese medicine, is a general term for acute cerebrovascular disease. It mainly refers to diseases with ischemic and hemorrhagic brain injury symptoms as the main clinical manifestations, and stroke is divided into two categories: hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke, which mainly refers to cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis, has a very high rate of death and disability

The difference between the two:

Cerebral thrombosis refers to the role of atherosclerosis, the excess material in the blood in the arterial vascular lining deposition, blockage of blood vessels caused by it has a slow formation of the process, blockage of blood vessels in more than 75% before the emergence of symptoms. It has a slow formation process, and symptoms will appear only after 75% of the blood vessels are blocked. It is characterized by slow formation of blood clots, which can be cured by timely activation of blood circulation and thrombolysis and dredging of blood vessels with traditional Chinese medicine

Cerebral infarction is a sudden cerebral infarction in which a thrombus or a foreign body in the blood circulation and a thrombus in the endothelium of a blood vessel dislodges and enters the cerebral blood vessel along with the blood flow, blocking the corresponding blood vessel. It is characterized by rapid onset and serious condition, and requires timely medical treatment.

I hope this helps.

I'm the life guard, welcome to follow and leave a comment!

• The difference between "biting and chewing"!
• These two terms are actually known to the common people to refer to the common stroke/stroke;

(Image from the Internet)

The so-called "bite" is actually a difference in medical specialties:

• Cerebral infarction:It is a term commonly used in the imaging profession to refer to an imaging manifestation of localized ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissue due to blockage of cerebral blood vessels from various causes;
• Cerebral infarction:It is a common diagnostic term used in the specialty of neurology, which refers to the local ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissues caused by blockage of cerebral blood vessels due to a variety of reasons, leading to the corresponding neurological deficits in the symptomatic manifestations;
• Cerebral embolism:It is also a common diagnostic term used in the specialty of neurology, and is distinguished from cerebral infarction by the fact that the cause of the infarction is the presence of a localized embolus with respect to the infarct;
• Cerebral thrombosis:It actually refers to the formation of emboli in localized cerebral blood vessels, which is the name of a "substance" that can lead to cerebral embolism when blood clots in the brain block blood vessels;
• .......

So, the various explanations above are more specialized, but for ordinary people, this can basically be understood as a disease, that is, on the said stroke or stroke or cerebral infarction!

I hope my answer is helpful, thanks!

In fact, these two concepts refer to the same disease, cerebral thrombosis is a special form of cerebral infarction, both belong to the ischemic stroke, which is usually called "cerebral infarction" or "cerebral infarction", refers to the cerebral blood supply disorders caused by various reasons, resulting in localized ischemic necrosis of brain tissue and corresponding neurological deficits. Cerebral infarction is a clinical syndrome in which the blood supply to the brain is impaired due to various reasons, resulting in local ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissues and corresponding neurological deficits, and it is the most common type of stroke (accounting for about 70% of all strokes). Its clinical manifestations mainly include: weakness or numbness of one limb (with or without face), numbness of one side of the face or crooked corners of the mouth, slurred speech or difficulty in understanding language, staring with both eyes to one side, loss of vision or blurring of vision of one side or both eyes, vertigo accompanied by vomiting, severe headache, vomiting, impaired consciousness or convulsions, which are rarely seen in the past.

Let me tell you about their pathogenesis, cerebral infarction according to the mechanism of local brain tissue ischemic necrosis can be divided into three main pathophysiological types: ① cerebral thrombosis; ② cerebral embolism; ③ hemodynamic mechanism due to cerebral infarction. Cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism are both caused by acute occlusion or severe stenosis of the arteries supplying blood to the brain, and account for about 80-90% of all acute cerebral infarctions.

Among them, cerebral thrombosis refers to the acute occlusion of cerebral arteries due to the existence of local vascular lesions secondary to thrombosis; atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of the disease, therefore, cerebral thrombosis clinically refers to atherosclerotic cerebral infarction of the large arteries, clinically most common in the middle-aged and elderly; in addition, there are also arteritis caused by the narrowing of the lumen or occlusion of the arterial arteries, arteritis cerebral infarction of the young and old people are most common. The onset of this type of arteritis cerebral infarction is common in young and middle-aged people. It often occurs in quiet or sleep, and in some cases, there are precursor symptoms of transient cerebral ischemia, such as numbness and weakness of the torso, etc. The focal signs reach the peak more than 10 hours or 1-2 days after the onset of the disease, and the clinical manifestations are dependent on the size and location of infarct foci. Patients are generally conscious, but when basilar artery thrombosis or large infarction occurs, there may be impaired consciousness, even life-threatening.

Cerebral embolism refers to acute occlusion of the cerebral artery itself has or does not have obvious lesions, is due to emboli embolism arteries, thus causing the corresponding blood-supplying areas of brain tissue ischemia necrosis that is dysfunction of a group of clinical syndromes. It accounts for about 1/3 of all cerebral infarctions. cerebral embolism clinically mainly refers to cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Cerebral embolism can occur at any age and is more common in young adults. Most of the patients have sudden onset in the activity, no precursor symptoms, focal neurological signs reach the peak in seconds to minutes, and most of them show complete stroke. Most patients have rheumatic heart disease, coronary artery disease, or severe cardiac arrhythmia, or a history of cardiac surgery, long bone fracture, or endovascular interventions of embolic origin. Some patients have concurrent manifestations of cerebral embolism, renal embolism, mesenteric embolism, and cutaneous embolism. The presence or absence of impaired consciousness depends on the size of the embolized vessel and the size of the infarct.

These are the details of these two types of diseases, and we hope that they can help you to understand more about the disease of cerebral infarction.

Many people can't tell the difference between cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis, in fact, these two concepts are almost the same, but there is a difference. Cerebral thrombosis is a kind of cerebral infarction, and cerebral infarction is what we often call stroke, stroke, to be more specific, ischemic stroke. Here are the details.

What is the difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis?

Cerebral infarction is a clinical syndrome in which the blood supply to the brain is impaired for various reasons, leading to ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of local brain tissues, resulting in corresponding neurological deficits.

In turn, cerebral infarction includescerebral thrombosis、cerebral embolism和cavernous cerebral infarction。

• Cerebral thrombosis is a common type of cerebral infarction. The most important cause of cerebral thrombosis is cerebral atherosclerosis, and common hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis are closely related.Atherosclerosis causes thickening and narrowing and occlusion of the lumen of the cerebral blood vesselsIt can produce more severe clinical symptoms such as hemiparesis, hemiparesis, hemiplegia, hemianopsia, and coma. This type of cerebral infarction often occurs in large arteries such as internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebral-basilar artery. Once a cerebral thrombosis is formed, it may lead to cerebral vascular occlusion. Once found and diagnosed, it should be treated aggressively, as time is of the essence at this point in time.
• A cerebral embolism is an emergency occlusion or severe narrowing of the lumen of a blood vessel caused by various emboli that enter the intracranial arteries with the blood flow. The emboli originate mainly fromAttached thrombi of the heart (atrial fibrillation, heart valve disease, myocardial infarction, etc.)orAtherosclerotic plaque detachment.Cerebral embolisms can occur at any age and are usually preceded by no aura, with the onset peaking in seconds to minutes.

• Cavernous cerebral infarction is clinically common in middle-aged and elderly patients, whileMost patients with cavitary infarcts have high blood pressure or diabetes.Some patients may not even have obvious symptoms, but only found by chance during physical examination, and some patients have a gradual onset of focal symptoms such as hemiparesis or hemiplegia or hemiparetic deep sensory deficits. However, cavernous cerebral infarction has a better prognosis, with low mortality and disability rates, but is prone to recurrence.

So what can be done to prevent cerebral infarction?

1, the occurrence of cerebral infarction and high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood fat are inseparable, so we must beKeep your blood pressure, blood sugar and lipids under control so that brain infarcts have no chance to take advantage of them.

2, cardiovascular disease, such as atrial fibrillation, heart valve disease, may cause cerebral embolism, if one's ownIf you have atrial fibrillation or valve disease, it is important to go to the hospital for aggressive treatment.

3. Maintain good living habits in general.Exercising more, eating a low-salt, low-fat diet, and abstaining from smoking and alcohol are also helpful in preventing brain infarction.。

Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a clinical syndrome in which the blood supply to the brain is impaired for various reasons, leading to ischemic and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissue and corresponding neurological deficits. It is the most common type of stroke, accounting for about 70%-80%.

Currently, cerebral infarction is divided into 3 main pathophysiological types according to the mechanism by which ischemic necrosis occurs in local brain tissue:

1.cerebral thrombosisAbout 60% of the totalcerebral infarction

2. Cerebral embolism

3. Cerebral infarction due to hemodynamic mechanisms

There may be some misunderstanding on your part.

Cerebral infarction, the old name for cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is defined as ischemic necrosis or softening of restricted brain tissue caused by impaired blood supply to the brain, ischemia, and hypoxia.

The common clinical types of cerebral infarction are: cerebral thrombosis, lacunar infarction and cerebral embolism.

In other words, a cerebral thrombosis is a type of cerebral infarction.

A cerebral thrombosis is a blood clot that forms directly inside a blood vessel in the brain due to a diseased blood vessel inside the head, causing the blood vessel to become blocked;

Cerebral embolism, refers to a variety of emboli in the blood (such as wall-attached thrombus in the heart, atherosclerotic plaques, fat, tumor cells, fibrocartilage or air, etc.) with the blood flow into the cerebral artery and blockage of blood vessels, when the collateral circulation can not be compensated for, causing ischemic necrosis of brain tissues in the area of the artery's supply of blood, and the emergence of focal neurological deficits. To put it plainly, it is an embolism caused by something inside other blood vessels (not necessarily a thrombus, it can be a lot of things) running with the blood flow into the blood vessels inside the head.

I hope my answer helps you.

There is no difference between a cerebral infarction and a cerebral thrombosis per se; a cerebral thrombosis is one of the more common types of cerebral infarction. In other words, cerebral infarction includes cerebral thrombosis. Cerebral infarction is a series of neurological dysfunctions caused by the narrowing and occlusion of blood vessels in the brain. Cerebral thrombosis is caused by atherosclerosis of the main arteries or cortical branches of cerebral arteries, which leads to narrowing and occlusion of blood vessels, thus causing ischemia, hypoxia, and necrosis of brain tissues. Cerebral infarction includes not only cerebral thrombosis, but also cerebral embolism and lacunar cerebral infarction.
