Abstract:
Objective To evaluate and analyze the characteristics of cognitive and memory disorders in patients suffering cerebral infarction. Methods The scores of overall cognitive function including orientation to time and place, immediate memory, calculation, delayed memory, naming, repeat, understanding, reading, writing, visuospatial function were evaluated by mini-mental state estimate (MMSE) and the scores of memory function including immediate learning and memory , short time delayed recall , long time delay memories were evaluated by WHO/UCLA Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Statistical analysis were done in patients with cerebral infarction and healthy controls. Results The scores of overall cognitive function, memory scores as well as immediate recall , short-delayed recall , long-delayed recall in cerebral infarction patients were much lower than those of healthy controls (P < 0.001). Conclusion The overall cognitive function and memory function declined significantly , also immediate memory and short term memory were remarkable impaired in patients with cerebral infarction, resulting their memory characteristics were similar to patients with Alzheimer′s disease.
