What Is Cerebral Hypoperfusion?

A clinical syndrome caused by insufficient blood supply to the marginal zone between two or more cerebral arterial trunks. Seen in diffuse cerebral arteriosclerosis, decreased systemic blood pressure and decreased cardiac output, congestive heart failure, and diseases that can cause slow blood flow. The marginal zone between the anterior and middle arteries is more common. Generally manifested as intermittent dizziness, uncoordinated movements and so on. Such as insufficiency of cerebral blood supply can further aggravate watershed cerebral infarction. Skull CT and magnetic resonance imaging can help confirm the diagnosis. The main treatments are to appropriately increase blood pressure and cardiac output, and improve cerebral circulation.
