Vascular Dementia

Vascular dementia is the second largest percent of all types of dementia! As the blood flow reduces and is restricted more progressive symptoms become! The problem with this there’s no repair! As I’m observing in my patient is that the mini micro bleeds were very slowly impairing and could’ve been bleeding for a long time!  But my assumption is that those bless were separate from the stroke that occurred and left tons of damage!

Blood carries all the oxygen and nutrients to the brain and there are thousands of blood vessels that feed the different A brain scan showing areas of damage due to bleeding regions. If blood flow is reduced, cells in the brain begin to starve and die. This can lead to vascular dementia. One type of vascular dementia, called multi-infarct dementia, is caused when blood vessels become blocked, for example during a stroke. The other type, small-vessel disease occurs when the walls of blood vessels are damaged causing little bleeds. This leads to localised damage, and disrupted blood flow, throughout the brain.
