Neurological sequelae of cerebral thrombosis refer to various effects and symptoms that may appear during the recovery period or after surgery following a cerebral thrombosis episode. Common sequelae include limb paralysis, reduced or lost sensation, speech disorders such as dysarthria, aphasia, cognitive decline such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, swallowing difficulties, vision problems, among others. The specific manifestations and severity vary depending on individual differences, the extent of brain damage, treatment methods, and other factors. Common presentations include:
1. Limb dysfunction:表现为 reduced muscle strength and decreased mobility in limbs, which may even lead to hemiplegia.
2. Sensory impairment: The face and limbs on the affected side may experience sensory disturbances, such as numbness and reduced sensitivity, particularly diminished sensations of hot/cold and pain.
3. Language disorders: Including motor aphasia, sensory aphasia, and nominal aphasia, affecting the patient's ability to understand and express language.
4. Cognitive and emotional disorders: Such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, depression, anxiety, etc.
Some patients may also experience emotional control disorders, such as mood swings, depression, or anxiety. Severe cases may involve consciousness impairment and even long-term bedridden status.
