Patient's question:
Friend carefully checked and found multiple lacunar infarcts in bilateral corona radiata, but he is currently doing well except for a bit of weakness. I heard from others that this condition is very serious, and I'm very worried about my friend. I asked the doctor if this condition is serious and if there are any methods to cure it.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's best to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head to check if there are any issues with the blood vessels in your brain. Lacunar stroke is primarily caused by blockage of small blood vessels. If you have multiple lacunar infarcts, it indicates that your vascular foundation is not particularly good. If you don't have symptoms like limb paralysis or dizziness and headaches, it's important to pay attention to controlling your blood pressure and follow a low-salt, low-fat diet. Additionally, you may need long-term oral antiplatelet medication, lipid-lowering drugs, and medications to stabilize plaques. If this condition reoccurs, it cannot be gradually cured, and the focus should be on preventing major cerebral infarction.
