Sequelae of cerebral infarction refer to some symptoms left behind about six months after an acute cerebral infarction. Common sequelae of cerebral infarction include hemiplegia and paralysis on one side of the body. Patients may experience numbness or pain in the limbs. The pain is usually like being pricked by needles, cut by a knife, or burned. Patients may also have slurred speech and even be unable to write.

Other sequelae that cerebral infarction patients may experience include choking when drinking water or eating, blurred vision, unsteady gait, poor hearing, and incontinence. To reduce the sequelae of cerebral infarction, it is recommended that patients seek emergency and systematic treatment at the hospital once they show symptoms of acute cerebral infarction.
