Multiple cerebral infarcts are also known as multiple soft cerebral infarcts in terms of multiple ischemic infarct foci in the brain. In addition to the usual paralysis and sensory and language deficits, dementia may also occur. Doctors refer to this type of dementia as multi-infarct dementia (i.e., atherosclerotic dementia). Multiple infarcts occur in men between the ages of 50 and 60, and high blood pressure and atherosclerosis are the main causes. The more foci there are, the higher the incidence of dementia, and bilateral infarction is more likely to cause dementia than unilateral infarction. Therefore, the recurrence of cerebral infarction should be actively prevented.
