What Is Cerebral Infarction?
10. Treatment
Treating a cerebral infarction will first involve having to deal with the underlying cause. This means removing or bypassing blockages in the blood flow so the brain gets the oxygen that it needs. This will help to prevent further damage being caused to the brain, and must be done as a matter of urgency.
Even in patients that do survive, it is not possible to restore the lost tissues. However, therapy can help the patient to restore at least some of the functions they might have lost. Therapy can be very effective, and some patients that have suffered from a cerebral infarction will go on to live a relatively normal life.
