The main difference between patients with cerebral hemorrhage and patients with cerebral infarction is the difference in imaging examination and treatment plan. Head ct, cerebral hemorrhage ct mainly shows high density of bleeding focus, while patients with cerebral infarction its imaging examination mainly shows low density of infarction focus. The symptoms are very similar. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction may show dizziness or numbness in one limb, weakness in one limb, poor throat, poor mental health, lethargy or even coma. We cannot distinguish these two diseases from symptoms alone. The main differences in treatment are: If the patient has cerebral hemorrhage, symptomatic treatment is mainly adopted. If the patient has symptoms of high intracranial pressure, the patient has headache, nausea, vomiting, and tongue edema, we can use intracranial pressure-lowering treatment as appropriate. Common drugs include mannitol, glycerol fructose, and some diuretics including furosemide or bumetanide. For patients with cerebral infarction, we mainly consider thrombolytic therapy to improve circulation, and then antiplatelet and brain protection therapy.
