Introduction
Deep brain sulci in young people may be a normal physiological phenomenon, or could result from causes such as traumatic brain injury, brain atrophy, or stroke. After severe head trauma, adhesions between the dura mater and cerebral cortex may develop, and extensive proliferation of glial cells might occur, leading to the aforementioned changes. In such cases, medications like carbamazepine tablets or oxcarbazepine tablets may be used according to medical advice.
Deep cerebral sulci in young people may be a normal physiological phenomenon, or could result from brain injury, brain atrophy, stroke, and other causes. Specific details are as follows:
1. Normal physiological phenomenon
Some individuals may have congenital developmental variations, or experience age-related degenerative changes in the brain, which can lead to deeper cerebral sulci. This typically does not cause any discomfort and is considered a normal physiological condition. No special treatment is required—just regular observation.
2. Brain injury
After severe head trauma, adhesions between the dura mater and cerebral cortex may develop, and extensive proliferation of glial cells might occur, leading to the aforementioned condition. Treatment may include medications such as carbamazepine tablets or oxcarbazepine tablets, as directed by a physician.
3. Brain atrophy
This condition is usually caused by genetic factors, infections, or neurodegenerative diseases, resulting in reduced brain volume and enlargement of the ventricles and subarachnoid space. Symptoms may include memory impairment, behavioral disturbances, and deepened cerebral sulci. Medications such as oxiracetam capsules or cerebroprotein hydrolysate tablets may be prescribed under medical supervision.
4. Stroke
Stroke may result from abnormal development of intracranial blood vessels, potentially damaging brain tissue and causing cerebral arterial stenosis, occlusion, or rupture, thus producing the described findings. Treatment under medical guidance may include drugs such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets or clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets.
In addition to the above causes, conditions such as encephalitis or cerebral infarction may also contribute. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue in daily life.
