Patient's question:
My colleague's brother is 57 years old this year. He has had cerebrovascular disease before. He was very anxious at that time, so he wanted to know if a stroke would cause facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Stroke is primarily caused by atherosclerosis and thrombosis in the cerebral blood supply arteries, leading to narrowed lumen or even obstruction, resulting in focal acute brain dysfunction. It can also be caused by abnormal substances (solid, liquid, gas) entering the cerebral or carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain circulation. The blood circulation time may cause blood flow blockage or sudden increase in blood flow, leading to additional dominant areas. The brain tissue may soften and become purulent. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
