Common symptoms of cerebrovascular diseases include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, difficulty seeing in one or both eyes, difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and severe headache with no known cause.
Cerebrovascular diseases are diagnosed using a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as CT scans, MRI, carotid ultrasound, cerebral angiography, and blood tests to assess risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure.
Treatment options for cerebrovascular diseases vary depending on the specific condition but may include medications like anticoagulants or antiplatelets, lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, surgical interventions like carotid endarterectomy or angioplasty, and rehabilitation therapies to improve mobility and speech.
