Multiple infarcts is basically a form of dementia and there are several things you can do to prevent it getting worse. You can avoid fatty foods, do not drink alcohol, keep blood pressure normal, and quit smoking.
Multi infarcts refer to multiple small areas of tissue damage in the brain that result from decreased blood flow, typically due to the blockage of small blood vessels. These infarcts can contribute to conditions such as vascular dementia and may have a cumulative effect on cognitive function over time. Management often involves addressing underlying risk factors for stroke and cognitive decline.

An infarct occurs when proper blood flow has been restricted to the point of tissue death. There are two types of infarcts, hemorrhagic and a white infarction.
A bilateral lacunar infarcts is a type of stroke that is experienced by human beings. It is said that this type of stroke is most common in men and those who are of African or Asian descent.
In lLayman's terms, a cortical infarct is a type of stroke.
Its very unlikely but possible. Why do you ask?
Punctate lacunar infarcts refer to small, localized areas of brain tissue damage caused by the occlusion of small penetrating arteries, often associated with conditions like hypertension or diabetes. These infarcts are typically small in size and may not produce significant symptoms individually, but their cumulative effect can contribute to cognitive decline or other neurological issues. The term "punctate" indicates their small, dot-like appearance on imaging studies, while "lacunar" refers to the small cavities left in the brain tissue as a result of the infarcts.
there is no cure. but there is treatment. theres therapy and injections that can be given.
Steroids.
I have been having problems with relapsing of my multiple sclerosis (MS). How well does the treatment from/of Avonex work to combat this?
Multi-infarct dementia is not caused by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid; rather, it results from multiple small strokes that lead to brain damage and cognitive decline. These strokes disrupt blood flow to various areas of the brain, causing a series of small infarcts. The cumulative effect of these infarcts can impair cognitive functions, memory, and overall mental processing. Proper management of risk factors like hypertension and diabetes is essential to prevent further strokes and progression of the condition.
Unfortunately, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a permanent disease.
