What causes cerebrovascular insult and treatment?

1 When a disease can occur

An ischemic stroke of the cerebellum and its hemorrhagic analogue may occur under the influence of such negative factors as:

1. Partial or complete impairment of the blood supply of this department due to impaired circulation of blood plasma.
2. The presence of a hemorrhage on the internal structures of the brain.

In the first case, doctors will determine the symptoms of ischemic stroke, and in the second - hemorrhagic.

When a lesion of the lower part of the human brain occurs, the stroke of the ischemic type is manifested most often. It can occur under the influence of the following factors:

1. The patient has spasms in the brain vessels.
2. Development of atherosclerotic events.
3. Occurrence of blood clots in the vessels of the brain.
4. A sharp drop in blood pressure in the vessels of the patient.

As a result, necrosis of the cerebellum tissue occurs due to decreased intake of oxygen and various nutrients from the blood.

Stroke of hemorrhagic type in most cases develops due to rupture of vessels or occurrence of increased permeability from the walls. Since the organ itself, called the cerebellum, has a relatively small size, then in order to disable it, it is enough to rupture any capillary.

The consequences of such hemorrhagic damage to the parts of the cerebellum are more dangerous than during the ischemic form of the disease. This manifests itself when an aneurysm ruptures on any vessel in the brain, accompanied by very extensive lesions.

2 Symptoms of pathology

The patient is not able to independently determine the signs of such a lesion, since the signs of apoplexy of different types( including the cerebellum) are similar to each other.

But there are certain symptoms that distinguish the type of stroke in question from other types of such ailments. They look like this:

1. A person sees and feels an obvious disorganization in the usual coordination when performing normal movements with the body or limbs( or with one hand, with the foot).This condition is called in ataxia in medical practice. It differs sharply from paralysis, numbness of various limbs, paresis.
2. The patient sharply loses balance and can not be in an upright position, or, with slow movement, begins to "rock," and in some cases, greatly vomiting.
3. The patient may appear such uncharacteristic phenomena for him, as tremor in the hands or feet. Sometimes, in some people, these symptoms are spread all over the body.
4. A man complains of a sharp cutting pain in the nape of the neck.
5. Patient is difficult to swallow. In this case, dryness occurs in the oral cavity. In many cases, indistinctness arises in the pronunciation of words.
6. There may be a phenomenon such as spontaneous and rapid rotation of the pupils. There are other problems with the eyes and pupils.
7. The patient may lose hearing and often falls unconscious.

In all of the above cases, if there is a suspicion of developing a cerebellar stroke that can lead to organ damage, it is necessary to deliver the patient to a special clinic as soon as possible, as the life of the injured person hangs in the balance and every minute is expensive.

3 How to treat the disease

The consequences of any type of stroke are not only unpleasant, but also very dangerous.

Cerebellar apoplexy in severe forms is not easily cured, and the recovery period after this disease can take time.

Cerebellar apoplexy suggests some disorders in the coordination of movements of various muscle structures in the absence of muscle tone relaxation. With this kind of disease, the force in the lower and upper limbs is completely preserved, but man can not control the movement itself, which becomes chaotic and very awkward. In some cases, cerebellar ataxia leads to such consequences that the patient is not able to maintain balance during the rise. Such cases result in disability.

The treatment of a patient with cerebellar insult is carried out urgently and is aimed at supporting the basic functions of the body at a time when the doctors eliminate the cause of the cerebral lesion. With symptomatic ischemia, the main direction of therapeutic therapy is elimination of obstructions in the brain vessels, and with hemorrhagic type of lesion - elimination of hemorrhage, elimination of detected hematomas, which press on the cerebellum.

For the treatment of cerebellar ischemia, various medications may be required. These medications include drugs from the following groups:

1. Thrombus Destroyers( thrombolytics).
2. Drugs that do not give rise to blood clots.
3. Drugs that promote the dilution of blood plasma.
4. Medicines that help keep blood pressure within certain limits.
5. Means that help correct irregular heartbeat beats.

To cure a hemorrhagic stroke, doctors usually recommend the following medications:

1. Drugs that can stop severe bleeding.
2. Various neuroprotective drugs that are able to reduce the effect of unwanted cerebral pathology on nerve cell structures and protect them from damage or death.
3. Means that help doctors adjust the blood pressure in the patient's vessels.

Surgery may sometimes be required. After the elimination of the disease follows a recovery period, which can last from month to year: it depends on the severity of the stroke.
