※ This video is an excerpt from the January 23, 2026 broadcast of "Famous Doctor - Between Death and Aftereffects, the Crossroads of Cerebral Infarction Emergency." Fear of Paralysis, a Struggle with the Golden Time Mr. A, a man in his 50s who suffered from diabetes and hyperlipidemia, suddenly experienced a headache and called 119 to the emergency room. He arrived at the emergency room four hours after the first symptoms appeared. The diagnosis was cerebral infarction. Upon arrival at the hospital, he was already suffering from severe hemiplegia and speech impediment. With the golden time running out, he urgently needed a thrombolytic drug. Will he ever be able to escape the fear of paralysis? Blood is a key element that supplies oxygen and nutrients essential for maintaining brain function. Even three minutes of interrupted blood flow can cause serious brain damage. Once damaged, the brain is difficult to recover, and if the golden time passes, he will have to live with lifelong aftereffects such as paralysis, speech impediment, and impaired consciousness. The golden window for optimal treatment outcomes in the hyperacute phase is three to four and a half hours. It's crucial to be aware of the symptoms and risks of stroke and respond quickly upon onset. Once blocked, another blockage? Recurrence of cerebral infarction. Mr. B, a man in his 40s, suffered a cerebral infarction a year ago, but missed the golden window and continues to receive ongoing rehabilitation. However, a year later, he suffered a recurrence of cerebral infarction when a blood vessel on the other side of his brain became blocked. While Mr. B had hoped to return to his normal routine with consistent treatment, his condition ultimately reverted to the level he had experienced immediately after the accident. The progress he had made in his recovery was shattered in an instant. Ultimately, he decided on cerebrovascular bypass surgery, which involves grafting new blood vessels into the affected blood vessels. Cerebral infarction can be a complex event. The risk of recurrence within one year of the initial stroke is 10%. Without consistent monitoring and thorough management, the risk of recurrence increases even further. Even if the acute phase has passed, it's not enough to feel relieved. Ongoing management, including medication, lifestyle modifications, and follow-up observation, to prevent recurrence, determines survival and the quality of recovery. ✔ Program Title: Doctor - Between Death and Aftereffects, the Crossroads of Cerebral Infarction Emergency ✔ Broadcast Date: January 23, 2026 #ebshealth #health #ebs #doctor #cerebralinfarction #stroke #cerebrovascular #braindisease #goldentime #paralysis #fullbodyparalysisfacialpalsy #cerebralinfarctionsurgery #cerebralinfarctionrecurrence #neurology #cerebralinfarctionsequelae
