Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke [1] or children with cerebral palsy [2]).

The objective of condylar decompression, also called jugular decompression and occipital release, is to balance the reciprocal tension membrane at the hypoglossal canal thus normalizing function of cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal nerve) function.
Posterior cerebral artery syndrome is a condition whereby the blood supply from the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is restricted, leading to a reduction of the function of the portions of the brain supplied by that vessel: the occipital lobe, the inferomedial temporal lobe, a large portion of the thalamus, and the upper brainstem and midbrain.
Research is still needed in the area of cerebellar stroke management; however, several factors may lead to poor outcomes in individuals who have a cerebellar stroke. These factors include: Declining levels of consciousness; New signs of brainstem involvement; Progressing Hydrocephalus; Stroke to the midline of the cerebellum (a.k.a. the vermis) [4]
Occipital lobe signs usually involve visual sensation, and may include: [citation needed] total loss of vision (cortical blindness) loss of vision with denial of the loss (Anton's syndrome) loss of vision on one side of the visual field of both eyes (homonymous hemianopsia) visual agnosias, i.e. inability to recognize familiar objects, colors ...
