Symptoms of central nervous system damage primarily depend on the type of disease and the location of the injury. Cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, can lead to focal neurological deficits in patients. These may include motor dysfunction, hemiplegia, inability to move limbs, or sensory disturbances, manifesting as numbness or spontaneous pain in one side of the body. If the central nervous system is damaged due to conditions like encephalitis, patients mainly present with symptoms such as headache, fever, seizures, and convulsions.
