For example, a stroke affecting the right parietal lobe of the brain can lead to neglect for the left side of the visual field, causing a patient with neglect to behave as if the left side of sensory space is nonexistent (although they can still turn left). In an extreme case, a patient with neglect might fail to eat the food on the left half ...
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]

It displays a combination of cerebellar and motor symptoms, including weakness and clumsiness, on the ipsilateral side of the body. [4] It usually affects the leg more than it does the arm; hence, it is known also as homolateral ataxia and crural paresis. The onset of symptoms is often over hours or days.
It is the "one-sided version" of spastic diplegia. It falls under the mobility impairment umbrella of cerebral palsy. About 20–30% of people with cerebral palsy have spastic hemiplegia. [1] Due to brain or nerve damage, the brain is constantly sending action potentials to the neuromuscular junctions on the affected side of the body. Similar ...
Roubleau describes the stroke as "a very, very large stroke," that covered a large part of the right side of her brain. "Another half hour, maybe, she was going to be paralyzed on half of her body ...
Pusher syndrome is a clinical disorder following left- or right-sided brain damage, in which patients actively push their weight away from the non-hemiparetic side to the hemiparetic side. This is in contrast to most stroke patients, who typically prefer to bear more weight on their nonhemiparetic side.
CT scan of the brain showing a massive, prior right-sided ischemic stroke from blockage of an artery. Changes on a CT may not be visible early on. [1] Specialty: Neurology, stroke medicine: Symptoms: Inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, dizziness, loss of vision to one side [2] [3] Complications
