Cerebrovascular disease is a major type of disease at present, which mainly occurs in the elderly. This disease includes many types, but it has a common feature that it is urgent and difficult to treat. Many cases may cause serious sequelae. At a certain age, we must prevent these diseases and conduct regular physical examination. The earlier these diseases are found, the greater the probability of cure. Here are some common types of cerebrovascular diseases.
1. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease: This is the most common cerebrovascular disease, which generally does not have much impact on the patient's life and will not leave sequelae. Cerebral infarction and cerebral embolism belong to this type.
2. Hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease: This situation is mainly caused by the rupture of aneurysm or vascular malformation in the body. Common diseases in this situation include cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial abnormal vascular network disease, etc. Hypertension patients must pay more attention to prevent this type of disease.
3. Arteriovenous malformations: changes in cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The brain blood cannot flow normally. Common conditions include moyamoya disease, cavernous hemangioma, gliosis, brain atrophy, etc.
4. Venous sinus thrombosis: This condition is generally caused by chronic otitis media invading the brain. This may also be caused by increased blood viscosity during pregnancy or perinatal period.
5. Vascular dementia: A considerable part of senile dementia is caused by vascular dementia, mainly due to the damage of cerebral vessels. This disease has a very high rate of disability.
In a word, cerebrovascular diseases should be mainly prevented. Doing more exercise and eating more vegetables at ordinary times can effectively prevent the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, physical examination should be carried out at least twice a year when you are old. These diseases generally have an incubation period. Early detection can effectively avoid serious consequences caused by sudden onset.
