Lacunar cerebral infarction refers to small deep penetrating arteries in the cerebral hemisphere or brain stem. On the basis of long-term chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, vascular wall lesions occur, resulting in occlusion of blood lumens, and small infarction foci are formed, accounting for 20%-30% of cerebral infarction. The most common sites are putamen, caudate nucleus, internal capsule, thalamus and brain stem. The size is mostly 0.2 to 15 mm. Most of them are cystic lesions. Small infarction foci are only slightly larger than the radius of blood vessels. They are often multiple. Because its pathogenesis is mostly in chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes on the basis of gradually showing small vascular disease, for hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other chronic diseases active treatment, it is particularly important, at the same time to give anti-platelet aggregation regulation treatment, but also for lacunar cerebral infarction has important significance, this is the need to cause attention.
