Patients with cerebral embolism need to visit the department of neurology, as it is considered a critical condition in this field. The onset of the disease is sudden and progresses rapidly. Often, in a very short period of time, the condition escalates to a peak, causing the patient to fall into a coma or suffer from complete paralysis of one side of the body. The most common cause of cerebral embolism, and the most frequent source of emboli, is atrial fibrillation, where clots form on the inner walls of the heart; these clots can detach and, carried by the bloodstream, block cerebral vessels. Another common source of emboli is carotid artery plaques, especially soft plaques which are prone to detachment. Once detached, these plaques form emboli that can obstruct major brain vessels, leading to cerebral embolism. Following cerebral embolism, usually larger blood vessels are blocked, causing abrupt blockages in cerebral circulation, and leading to issues with brain blood supply. Generally, this results in extensive brain ischemia, cerebral edema, and brain tissue necrosis. The condition progresses rapidly and requires prompt medical attention and comprehensive hospital treatment.
