What is a silent stroke?
Silent stroke may not exhibit any symptoms, making it
more difficult to detect.
The brain is a complex organ responsible for controlling
many different bodily functions. When working at optimal
capacity, the brain is a wonder to behold. When illness or
trauma affects the brain, various parts of the body may not
work as they should.
One of the more devastating things that can affect the brain
is stroke. Stroke describes a sudden stoppage of blood from
reaching the brain. Harvard Medical School states that if a
large number of brain cells are starved of blood supply, they
can die. With their demise, a person’s memory and ability to
speak and move can be compromised.
While many strokes come on suddenly, certain factors
may indicate a person is at risk. Such factors may include pri-
or heart attacks, genetics, high blood pressure, smoking, or a
prior stroke. However, in a particular type of stroke - a “silent
stroke” - symptoms are far more subtle and difficult to spot.
Silent cerebral infarction, often referred to as “SCI” or “si-
lent stroke,” is a brain injury likely caused by a blood clot in-
terrupting blood flow to the brain, offers the American Stroke
Association. Silent strokes increase risk for other strokes and
can be a sign of progressive brain damage. A silent stroke is
typically only noticed as a side component of an MRI of the
brain. Many times patients do not recall having a stroke and
never felt any symptoms. Silent strokes should not be mis-
taken for mini-strokes. Mini-stroke is a brief but discrete and
memorable event, with symptoms appearing for a few min-
utes or a few hours.
According to a study on silent stroke titled “Functional
and Cognitive Consequences of Silent Stroke Discovered
Using Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in an Elderly Pop-
ulation” and published in the Journal of American Geriatrics
Society, silent strokes are quite common and can have seri-
ous consequences. Researchers have found that silent stroke
is associated with impairments in tests of cognitive function
rather than movement-oriented performance tests like rising
from a chair. Almost 50 percent of studied silent strokes af-
fected frontal circuit components of the brain, such as the
frontal cortex, basal ganglia and thalamus. Lesions in these
brain structures compromised executive functions and were
related to vascular dementia. Another study showed associa-
tions between silent stroke and visual field deficits, weakness
in walking on heels, history of memory loss, migraines, and
lower scores in cognitive function tests.
The “silent” part of a silent stroke also refers to the areas
of the brain that the stroke affects. Experts at Harvard Medi-
cal School explain that, during a silent stroke, an interruption
in blood flow destroys areas of cells in a part of the brain
that is “silent,” meaning that it doesn’t control any vital func-
tions. Researchers say that, over time, the damage from silent
strokes can accumulate, leading to more and more problems
with memory. Collectively, silent strokes become silent no
longer.
There are certain ways to reduce the risk of any type of
stroke. These include:
• managing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels
• quitting smoking
• reducing the risk of diabetes and effectively treat the con-
dition if it is present
• losing weight to prevent obesity
• exercising and avoid a sedentary lifestyle
• taking a low-dose aspirin or a drug that prevents blood
clots.
Silent strokes largely go unrecognized but can lead to sig-
nificant brain injury. Getting the facts can help men and wom-
en reduce their risk for silent stroke.
