stroke Flashcards
TACS (total anterior circulation stroke) effects what artery?
middle and anterior cerebral arteries
anatomical areas TACS (total anterior circulation stroke) effects?
frontal, temporal, parietal
symptom of a TACS (total anterior circulation stroke)?
unilateral weakness/sensory loss of face, arm and leg
homonymous hemianopia (loss of L or R visual field in both eyes)
higher cerebral dysfunction (dysphasia, visuospatial disorder)
partial anterior circulation stroke effects what artery?
anterior + middle cerebral arteries
anatomical areas effected by a PACS (partial anterior circulation stroke)?
frontal, temporal, parietal
symptoms of a PACS (partial anterior circulation stroke)?
two of:
unilateral weakness/sensory loss of face, arm and leg
homonymous hemianopia (loss of L or R visual field in both eyes)
higher cerebral dysfunction (dysphasia, visuospatial disorder)
OR
higher cerebral dysfunction
LACS (lacunar stroke) effects what artery?
deep arteries of the brain (small arteries)
what areas are affected by LACS (lacunar strokes)?
thalamus, basal ganglia, pons, white matter of internal capsule
symptom of a LACS (lacunar stroke)?
preserved higher cerebral functions + ONE of the following
pure sensory stroke
Pure motor stroke
ataxic hemiplegia (ipsilateral ataxic features with pyramidal weakness)
POCS (posterior circulation stroke) affects what arteries?
posterior cerebral artery
POCS (posterior circulation stroke) effects what areas?
inferior + medial temporal
occipital love
basal ganglion
POCS (posterior circulation stroke) symptoms
ONE of:
cranial nerve palsy + contralateral motor/sensory deficit
bilateral motor/sensory deficit
conjugate eye movement
cerebellar dysfunction
isolated homonymous hemianopia
anterior cerebral stroke
contralateral lower limb m/s, abulia, dyspraxia, emotional
middle cerebral stroke
contralateral face+ upper limb m/s, eve deviation to infarct, hemianopia, aphasia (dominant side), neglect (non dominant side)
posterior stroke
contralateral hemianopia with macula sparing, sensory if lateral thalamus
