Schematic view of large and small vessel diseases, focusing on cerebral infarction. Coronary sections of the brain (gray), arteries (red), and ischemic lesions (black) are illustrated. Large artery obstruction usually occurs suddenly and results in ischemia in that region. Dysfunction of small arteries is usually chronic and progressive, resulting in small and multiple lesions, referred to as lacunar infarctions.
