"Judging from this MRI scan, the current infarction area in the right basal ganglia and corona radiata isn't particularly large."
Zeng Yunjun looked at the patient's test results. Drawing on his thirty years of emergency experience, he shared his assessment. "However, clinically speaking, for patients with this type of atherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction, their condition will continue to progress and deteriorate during the acute phase.
"Generally, within three to seven days—or even longer than a week—after the onset, cerebral edema will reach its peak. Under these circumstances, the infarction area may expand further, and intracranial pressure will rise sharply. Fatal risks such as brain herniation or respiratory arrest could occur at any moment..."
