G46: Vascular syndromes of brain in cerebrovascular diseases
G46.6: Pure sensory lacunar syndrome
The brain is made up of several areas. For example, the cerebrum is used to think and plan actions. In the cerebellum, movements are initialized and coordinated. The brain stem is responsible for various unconscious tasks such as breathing. The brain stem passes into the spinal cord.
One or more small parts of your brain have impaired function. These impairments are usually caused by damage to small blood vessels in the brain. As a result, the affected parts of the brain do not get enough blood.
Areas of your brain are affected that are responsible for sensing touch. As a result, you may no longer be able to feel contacts on one side of your body properly, for example.
