- Contralateral hemiparesis
- Contralateral sensory loss
- Lower > upper
Middle cerebral artery
- Contralateral hemiparesis
- Contralateral sensory loss
- Upper > lower
- Contralateral homonymous hemianopia
- Aphasia
Posterior cerebral artery

Weber’s syndrome
- Ipsilateral CN III palsy
- Contralateral weakness of upper and lower extremity
PICA
Also LMS/wallenberg
- Ipsilateral face pain and temperature loss
- Contralateral limb/torso pain and temp loss
- Ataxia
- Nystagmus
Anterior inferior cerebellar artery
- PICA
- Ipsilateral facial paralysis and deafness
basilar artery
locked in syndrome
Lacunar strokes
- Isolated hemiparesis
- Hemisensory loss
- Hemiparesis with limb ataxia
Total anterior circulation stroke
- Unilateral weakness of face, arm and leg
- Homonymous hemianopia
- Higher cerebral dysfunction = dysphasia, visuospatial
Partial anterior circulation stroke
2 of
- Unilateral weakness of face, arm, leg
- Homonymous hemianopia
- Higher cerebral dysfunction
Lacunar syndrome
One of
- Pure sensory
- Pure motor
- Sensori-motor
- Ataxic hemiparesis
Posterior circulation syndrome
One of
- CN palsy and contralateral motor/sensory deficit
- Bilateral motor/sensory deficit
- Conjugate eye movement
- Cerebellar dysfunction
- Isolated hemianopia
