What is vascular dementia?

summary

Vascular dementia has a low incidence in China. We should pay special attention to diet, which is between 1.1% and 3.0%. There are about 3-9 people in 1000 people every year. People with vascular dementia have severe cognitive impairment, which is caused by brain diseases such as memory, cognition and behavior caused by ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, Divided into acute vascular dementia, acute vascular dementia, if you check out the relevant conditions need to be timely medical treatment, must not delay. So, let's take a look at what is vascular dementia? Let's introduce the related knowledge of the field.

What is vascular dementia?

First, acute vascular dementia can be divided into four types: 1. Multi infarct dementia 2. Infarct dementia at key sites 3. Watershed infarct dementia 4. Hemorrhagic dementia. Subacute or chronic vascular dementia can be divided into two types: subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy and autosomal dominant cerebral artery disease with subcortical infarction and leukoencephalopathy. Different types are caused by different causes. Patients should know what kind of treatment they belong to.

Second: multiple infarct dementia is caused by multiple cerebral infarction involving the cerebral cortex or subcortical area. Dementia syndrome is the most common type. Infarct dementia is a dementia syndrome caused by a single cerebral infarction involving the cortex and subcortical functional areas closely related to cognitive function. Watershed infarct dementia belongs to hypoperfusion vascular dementia. Hemorrhagic dementia is caused by intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Third: subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy, progressive, occult, often accompanied by obvious pseudobulbar paralysis, gait instability, urinary incontinence and pyramidal tract damage signs. Autosomal dominant cerebral artery disease with subcortical infarction and leukoencephalopathy is a kind of hereditary vascular disease, which will develop into vascular dementia in the late stage.

matters needing attention

Vascular dementia is a serious dementia disease, which is caused by the above multiple causes. We should pay more attention to it at ordinary times, and timely go to the hospital for treatment in case of relevant conditions. We should not take care of ourselves in a hurry, especially for the elderly. The treatment of cerebrovascular dementia mainly aims at cerebrovascular disease, improving cerebral blood supply, preventing cerebral infarction, promoting brain metabolism, so as to improve and alleviate symptoms and prevent deterioration.
