Stroke Flashcards
features of ica syndrome
- most variable stroke syndrome
- can cause infarction of 2/3 of the cerebral hemisphere
- infarction can be bilateral (if from common ica)
combination of aca, acha, and mca syndrome
signs and symptoms for ica syndrome
transient monocular blindness (amaurosis fugax) contralateral motor and sensory deficits in face, UE, and LE contralateral visual field deficit (homonymous hemianopia) aphasia (dom) perceptual deficits (nondom)
branches of the aca
acomm recurrent artery of heubner medial orbitofrontal artery frontopolar artery callosomarginal artery pericallosal artery
manifestations of lesions in recurrent artery of heubner
contralateral face and arm weakness without sensory loss
behavioral and cognitive abnormalities (abulia, agitation, neglect, and aphasia)
manifestations of aca infarct
weakness of the leg
+/- proximal muscle weakness in the UE
frontal lobe: judgment, insight, affect, abulia
frontal release signs: grasp and suck reflex
