what conditions can cause coma after cerebral infarction?

what conditions can cause coma after cerebral infarction? let me tell you today, for example, when the main trunk of the middle cerebral artery is blocked, two-thirds of the brain tissue in one cerebral hemisphere is ischemic and necrotic at the same time, which can cause severe edema in brain cells, and the swelling can cause the patient to become comatose.

in this case, decompressive craniectomy can be performed. after the operation, the patient's brain tissue will swell and there will be space for swelling without causing compression of the brainstem. the patient will have a higher chance of waking up.

this operation must be done against time. once it is found that the patient's consciousness is not good, he gradually becomes drowsy, comatose, or even comatose, or his pupils are unequal on both sides, he should be able to assess the patient's condition in advance and perform surgery immediately if this occurs. surgery is a matter of time. time is life and time is the brain. the earlier the surgery is performed, the higher the chance of waking up. if the surgery is performed later, the chance of chronic recovery will be very low.
