Lacunar stroke is, in a sense, a milder form of stroke. It may not involve complete paralysis of limbs or consciousness disorders. Such cases typically show symptoms of sudden large vessel blockage. However, it results from blockages in many small vessels and manifests in various ways. Additionally, it gradually worsens, displaying an increasing range of symptoms including cognitive impairments, dementia, unstable gait, slurred speech, and dysarthria. These symptoms significantly affect the quality of life, so it can be considered not mild.
