Generally no, unless blood supply is returned to the area or a supporating bacteria somehow invades the area. One of the more common locations for an infarct is in the kidneys, and the usual chronic result is fibrosis, not putrefaction.

What is a cerebellar infarct?

The word cerebellar refers to the cerebellum. This is also called the Little Brain. The cerebellum, in the back of the brain, controls balance, coordination and fine muscle control (e.g., walking).Damage may cause ataxias (inability to walk in a straight line). An infarct is another name for a small localized area of dead tissue resulting from failure of blood supply. In the case of the brain, a stroke.This person had a stoke in the cerebellum and may have problems with balance and walking.


What is caudate nucleus infarct?

A caudate nucleus infarct is a type of stroke that affects the caudate nucleus, a brain structure involved in various functions including motor control, learning, and memory. This infarct occurs when blood supply to the caudate nucleus is disrupted, often due to a blockage or rupture of blood vessels. Symptoms can vary but may include motor deficits, cognitive impairments, and changes in behavior. The caudate nucleus is part of the basal ganglia, and damage here can significantly impact movement and coordination.


What causes a possible anterior infarct?

A possible anterior infarct can be caused by a blockage in one of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the front of the heart. This blockage can lead to decreased blood flow to the heart muscle, resulting in damage or death of the tissue in that area. Risk factors for anterior infarcts include atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes.
