NP: Lecture 5 Cerebrovascular diseases Flashcards
4 sudden onset symptoms of a stroke
headache
loss of mental abilities
loss of strenght/paralysis
confusioon, disorientation, consciousness
wat voor scan bij stroke
ct scan, voor verschil tussen hemmorhage en infarct -> blood shows up white on normal ct
prevalence stroke worldwide
a stroke every 2 seconds
hoeveel strokes per jaar in nl
40.000
hoeveel stroke survivors in nl
200.000
wat hebben de survivors vaak als symptomen
chronic deficits and complaints
number of survivors are increasing due to…
better treatment and increased prevalence -> higher life expectancy
stroke is an age related disease but…
young strokes (between 18-50) are increasing
ethiology of strokes
- ischaemic stroke/infarct
- heamorrhage stroke
hoeveel % ischaemic stroke
80%
hoeveel % haemorrhage stroke
20%
ischaemic stroke =
obstruction blocks blood flow -> area is deprived of blood
haemorrhage stroke =
weakened vessel wall ruptures, causing bleeding in the brain
infarcten verschillende prevalentie
arteria cerebri media = 80%
arteria cerebri posterior = 10%
arteria cerebri anterior =3%
small lacunar infarcts (in white matter)
infarct =
afsterven weefsel
mild form of infarct
transient ischemic attack = TIA
wat is kenmerkend van een tia
de symptoms dissapear within an hour
infarct acute treatment
- thrombolyse
- thrombectomy
thrombolyse =
tissue plasminogen activator geven, lost de bloodclot op
within …. after onset moet thrombolyse gedaan worden
within 4 hours
thrombectomy
removal of the brain clot with a catheter
cerebral haemorrhages occur more in older ppl with …
high blood pressure
intracranial bleeding can also occur after…
- traumatic brain injury
- tumour
- degenerative conditions (amyloid, dementia)
- arteriovenous malformation
haemorrhage acute treatment
acute treatment is often conservative
medication to reduce swelling
surgery to relieve pressure on the brain
subarachnoidal heamorrhage
outside brain, in cavity between arachnoids
pressure on the brain may lead to damage
most frequent cause: aneurysm
2 treatments subarachnoid hemorrhage
- coiling with cathether
- clipping (surgery)
cognitive consequences of a stroke: medial cerebral artery
memory
language
motor disorders (parese, ataxia, apraxia)
consequences of stroke: frontal lobe
exectutive orders
(bv anterior communicating artery)
