Overview

Past history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, TIA and amaurosis fugax and prosthetic valves may help determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of an ischemic stroke vary widely depending on the site and blood supply of the area involved.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

History and Symptoms

Past history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, TIA and amaurosis fugax and prosthetic valves may help determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of an ischemic stroke vary widely depending on the site and blood supply of the area involved:

Vessel involved Site of infarction History and symptoms
Anterior cerebral artery [1][2]
  • Rare

Superficial branch

Right ACA[1][2]

  • Left sided motor weakness- contralateral lower limb
  • Left sided sensory loss-contralateral lower limb
  • Patient unaware of other half of the body-hemineglect [2]
  • Behavioral abnormalities
  • Urinary incontinence

Left ACA[1][7]

  • Right sided motor weakness- contralateral lower limb
  • Right sided sensory loss-contralateral lower limb
  • Halting and effortful speech[2]
  • Mutism
  • Disorganized thinking
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Behavioral abnormalities

Deep branches (medial lenticulostriate, Heubner's artery)[8][9]

Middle cerebral artery[3]
  • 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)

Classical lacunar syndromes[16][17][18]

  • Pure motor stroke
  • Pure sensory stroke
  • Ataxic hemiparesis
  • Mixed sensorimotor stroke
  • Dysarthria clumsy hand syndrome
Posterior cerebral artery[4][5][6]

Cortical branches[4]'

Right PCA[20]

Left PCA[20][6][22]

Ganglionic branches[5]

Vertebrobasilar artery[25]
  • Weber syndrome[26]
  • Third nerve palsy-affected eye moves down and out
  • Contralateral muscle weakness
  • Contralateral sensory loss
Medial pontine syndrome
  • Contralateral muscle weakness
  • Contralateral sensory loss
  • Affected eye may move medially and downwards-abducent nerve involvement

Lateral pontine syndrome

  • Difficulty maintaining balance
  • Vertigo
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Tremors
  • Thalamus
  • Central pain syndrome
  • Occipital cortex
  • Visual deficit

Blood supply of brain
