The main signs of ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke is called abnormal cerebral blood flow to the expressed dystrophic and necrotic changes in the tissues in connection with the constriction of feed arteries. Compared to hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding) this form is considered more conducive to recovery. Disease rarely develops suddenly.

Features of

Signs of ischemic stroke thrombotic forms develop gradually, usually at night during sleep or in the morning after precursors. Characteristic:

• incomplete brief loss of consciousness;
• paleness of the face;
• the absence of fever;
• slow breathing.

Clinic thromboembolism:

• symptoms arise suddenly in the afternoon, often associated with excitement, physical exertion;
• the person loses consciousness and falls;
• cramps occur in the limbs on the side opposite the affected hemisphere of the brain;
• the disorder of consciousness is brief;
• possible vomiting.

In the case acrobatically ischemia:

• first manifested precursors (hypertension, angina);
• there comes a sudden brief loss of consciousness;
• the patient may be inhibited (soporano);
• pale face;
• body temperature increased;
• possible incontinence;
• convulsions are rare.

• previous cerebral crises;
• rapid, sudden onset;
• if you have the precursors, that are manifested in the form of headache, tide to face, violation of color perception (objects, colored red);
• coma (up to several days);
• redness of the face;
• the temperature increase from the second day;
• bubbling noisy breathing;
• high blood pressure;
• the change of the pupil diameter on the affected side;
• intense pulse;
• cramps in the extremities, epileptiform seizures;
• delay or urinary incontinence;
• the rapid development of unilateral paralysis with reduced muscle tone.

Optometrist will see in the fundus: vascular tortuosity, hemorrhage into the retina, swelling and hyperemia.

In cerebrospinal fluid — increase pressure, the blood.

In General, the analysis blood — leukocytosis, increase of prothrombin.

The subsequent development of ischemia

Disability of a patient with an ischemic stroke occurs in 30% of cases. Characteristic effects:

• impaired memory;
• fatigue;
• depression.

When a small lesion over time, all neurological symptoms disappears. Possible residual effects in the form of numbness, limitation of function of an arm or leg. Psychiatrists drew attention to the vulnerability of these patients hallucinations, anxiety States,delusional thoughts.

The sooner you get started the treatment of ischemic stroke, the more likely a full recovery. Special attention should be paid to the precursors of pathology. They serve a "signal" about the troubles of the cerebral circulation.
