My father's problems:-Age is 67 Yrs. 1.1st stroke on june 2003 right side, this time B.P. was 190/290. But he improve to self walk & do all his work. 2.Now stroke comes again on 5.2.2011 At this time B.P. is 80/120 & sugar is 330. But now he recognize all but can't say any thing, but repeat words which we say. The C.T. Report is 1.:-Lacunar infarcts bilateral basal ganglia & thalami. 2.:-Diffuse cerebral atrophy. So please suggest me. Now our consultant Dr. is Dr.Bhupendra chaudhary. Meerut (U.P.)
The basal ganglia and thalami are important areas of the brain. The help in higher functions and also many motor activities like walking and doing everyday activities. Lacunar infarcts are remnants of the 1st stroke and 2nd stroke. His cognitive areas might also be involved. Diffuse cerebral atrophy is a condition associated with aging changes in the brain. This is acceptable.
Your father does not have any immediate risk to life. However he must continue with medications to prevent subsequent strokes. His speech and cognition can be improved by taking him to a neuro rehabilitation centre.
