Can cerebral infarction have sequela

After cerebral infarction, we are very concerned about whether there will be sequelae, depending on the infarction site and the degree of infarction. If CT or MRI suggests lacunar cerebral infarction, generally speaking, the possibility of sequelae is not too large, because the degree of infarction is relatively light. If the infarction site is in the vicinity of important structures such as the cerebral hemisphere, cerebellum or brainstem, and the degree of infarction is relatively large, the infarction range is also relatively large, then corresponding sequelae will occur. If the infarction is in the basal ganglia, it will show the opposite limb movement and sensory disturbance. If the infarction is in the cerebellum, it may show ataxia, gait instability, etc. If the infarction is in the brain stem, it may show nausea, vomiting, severe or even coma, and may also show the limb movement and sensory disturbance. Whether there will be sequelae and the size of the sequelae depends mainly on the location and degree of cerebral infarction.
