Pathogenesis and pathological features of common ischemic stroke

Abstract

Ischemic stroke is quite common. Pathologically, it includes anemic infarct and hemorrhagic infarct. Causes of infarctions are various, such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, artery-to-artery embolism, cardioembolic stroke, lacunar infarcts, watershed infarcts, cerebral veneous thrombosis, herniation, and so on. We will focus on some common causes of brain infarct and introduce its pathologic features briefly.
