[ 1] Cardinal signs include vertigo, headache, vomiting, and ataxia. [ 2] Left sided cerebellar stroke due to ...
Neurology. Symptoms. Loss of motor skills on one side of body. Causes. Stroke. Hemiparesis, also called unilateral paresis, is the weakness of one entire side of the body ( hemi- means "half"). Hemiplegia, in its most severe form, is the complete paralysis of one entire side of the body.
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]
Watershed stroke symptoms are due to the reduced blood flow to all parts of the body, specifically the brain, thus leading to brain damage. Initial symptoms, as promoted by the American Stroke Association, are FAST, representing F = Facial weakness (droop), A = Arm weakness (drift), S = Speech difficulty (slur), and T = Time to act (priority of intervention).
Lacunar stroke or lacunar cerebral infarct ( LACI) is the most common type of ischemic stroke, resulting from the occlusion of small penetrating arteries that provide blood to the brain's deep structures. Patients who present with symptoms of a lacunar stroke, but who have not yet had diagnostic imaging performed, may be described as having ...
Hemispatial neglect is a neuropsychological condition in which, after damage to one hemisphere of the brain (e.g. after a stroke ), a deficit in attention and awareness towards the side of space opposite brain damage (contralesional space) is observed. It is defined by the inability of a person to process and perceive stimuli towards the ...
Partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI) is a type of cerebral infarction affecting part of the anterior circulation supplying one side of the brain.. Partial anterior circulation stroke syndrome (PACS) refers to the symptoms of a patient who clinically appears to have had a partial anterior circulation infarct, but who has not yet had any diagnostic imaging (e.g. CT Scan) to confirm the ...
Cerebrovascular disease. Cerebrovascular disease includes a variety of medical conditions that affect the blood vessels of the brain and the cerebral circulation. Arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to the brain are often damaged or deformed in these disorders. [ 2] The most common presentation of cerebrovascular disease is an ischemic ...
