Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother-in-law is 76 years old this year. She used to be very healthy, but suddenly had a stroke and fell unconscious at home a month ago. She was treated in the hospital, but didn't recover. Now her legs have collapsed, she cannot move, and she cannot take care of herself. Her consciousness is not very clear. I would like to ask, how long can someone with a collapsed stroke live at most?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of cerebral infarction, and it has been one month, it is important to pay attention to actively implementing rehabilitation exercises. Generally, with active and thorough recovery, it should gradually improve. In this case, the recovery period is usually one year. If there is no complete recovery after a year, it can be considered a sequelae. If this condition is managed actively with care and attention, it should not affect the lifespan.
