  2. Lacunar stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacunar_stroke

    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.

  3. Vascular thalamic amnesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_thalamic_amnesia

    Vascular thalamic amnesia occurs when the thalamus is affected by Korsakoff's syndrome or damaged by lacunar infarcts or hemorrhages. [1] Another common cause for damage to the thalamus that may contribute to the development of amnesia is a stroke. [ 2 ]

  4. Dejerine–Roussy syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejerine–Roussy_syndrome

    Dejerine–Roussy syndrome or thalamic pain syndrome is a condition developed after a thalamic stroke, a stroke causing damage to the thalamus. [1] Ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes can cause lesioning in the thalamus. [citation needed] As initial stroke symptoms (numbness and tingling) dissipate, an imbalance in sensation causes these ...

  5. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    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]

  6. Brainstem stroke syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem_stroke_syndrome

    A brainstem stroke syndrome falls under the broader category of stroke syndromes, or specific symptoms caused by vascular injury to an area of brain (for example, the lacunar syndromes).

  7. C. Miller Fisher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Miller_Fisher

    Charles Miller Fisher (December 5, 1913, Waterloo, Ontario – April 14, 2012, Albany, New York) was a Canadian neurologist whose notable contributions include the first detailed descriptions of lacunar strokes, the identification of transient ischemic attacks as stroke precursors, the identification of the link between carotid atherosclerosis and stroke, and the description of a variant form ...

  8. Posterior cerebral artery syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_cerebral_artery...

    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. [1]

  9. Watershed stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_stroke

    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).
