Overview

History and Symptoms

  • Detailed history may suggest the underlying cause for ischemic stroke. The symptoms of a stroke are related to the anatomical location of the damage; nature and severity of the symptoms can therefore vary widely
Vessel involved Site of infarction History and symptoms
Anterior cerebral artery
  • Rare
  • Right anterior cerebral artery
  • Frontal cortex,
  • Primary motor cortex
  • Motor weakness of opposite foot and leg
  • Sensory loss over foot, toes and leg on the same side of lesion
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Transcortical aphasia
  • Abulia
  • Contralateral grasp and sucking reflex
  • Disorganized thinking
  • Left anterior cerebral artery
  • Parietal lobe
  • Primary sensory cortex
Acute confusional state

Hemiparesis

Middle cerebral artery
  • Most common site of infarction
  • Right superficial division (RSD)
  • Motor cortex (left head,neck and arm)
  • Sensory cortex (left head, trunk and arm)
  • Left superficial division (LSD)
  • Broca's area (expressive speech area)
  • Wernick's area (receptive speech area)
  • Motor cortex (right head, neck and arm)
  • Sensory cortex (right head, neck and arm)
  • Lenticulostriate branches
  • Pure upper motor weakness
Posterior cerebral artery
  • Superficial branch
  • Deep branch
  • Thalamus
  • Internal capsule (posterior limb)
  • Hemisensory loss
  • Hemiparesis
Vertebrobasilar artery
  • Difficulty maintaining balance
  • Vertigo
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Tremors
  • Thalamus
  • Occipital cortex
