MSD & Brain Flashcards
Frontal lobe damage =
Executive function deficits
Parietal lobe damage =
sensory deficits
temporal lobe damage =
Deficits in auditory perception/sensation/integration
Occipital lobe deficits =
Visual deficits
- Expressive deficits
- Receptive deficits
- Global deficits
- Cognitive impairment
- Right visual field impairment
Left Hemisphere Damage
- Spatial + perceptual deficits
- Discourse + pragmatic deficits
- Impulse behavior + attention difficulty
- Judgement + reasoning problems
- Poor awareness of deficits
Right Hemisphere Damage
Occurs due to blockage of a blood vessel
Ischemic CVA
Most common cause of stroke
Ischemic CVA
2 types of Ischemic CVA
Thrombotic
Embolic
blood clot develops in blood vessels inside brain, interrupted blood flow
Thrombotic
blood clot develops elsewhere in body + travels to brain throughout brainstem
Embolic
Occurs due to bleeding, blood vessel rupture
Hemorrhagic CVA
most common cause of hemorrhagic CVA
high blood pressure
2 types of hemorrhagic CVA
Intracerebral, subarachnoid
most common hemorrhagic, artery bursts; flooding tissues with blood
Intracerebral
