Lacunar cerebral infarction mainly refers to the infarction focus formed by intracranial small penetrating artery occlusion. Normally, it is caused by vascular wall sclerosis on the basis of long-term hypertension. According to statistics, its incidence rate accounts for 20%-30% of cerebral infarction. It can be manifested in both cerebral hemispheres at the same time. The frontal lobe is also its preferred site. The focus is often scattered and will not cause obvious dysfunction. However, it is necessary to actively control blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and uric acid. As well as homocysteine and other risk factors, head CT or head MRI should be reviewed regularly. Experts suggest: lacunar cerebral infarction mainly refers to the ischemic focus caused by intracranial small vessel disease, normal small amount of lacunar cerebral infarction, no special drug treatment, but pay attention to the control of risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar, hyperlipidemia, etc. If multiple lacunar cerebral infarction, it is necessary to further improve the relevant examination such as brain magnetic resonance, clarify its etiology, in order to better prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
