Artery Stroke Defici

Deficits that commonly occur following strokes in specific arteries

QuestionAnswer
Anterior Cerebral artery: somatosensory Loss of sensation in lower limb
ACA: Motor Apraxia; hemiplegia(lower limb more affected than upper limb and face); impaired gait
ACA: special senses and autonomic function No changes
ACA: emotions and behavior flat affect; impulsiveness; perseveration; confusion; motor inactivity
ACA: cognition, language, memory difficulty with divergent thinking
ACA:other urinary incontinence
Middle Cerebral Artery: somatosensory hemianesthesia affecting face and upper limb more than lower limb
MCA: motor face and upper limb more impaired than lower limb; if striate arteries involved, lower limb paresis or paralysis in addition to face and upper limb impairment
MCA: special senses and autonomic function homonymous hemianopia
MCA: emotions and behavior If right hemisphere-->left hemiplegia, easily distracted, poor judgment, impulsiveness; If left hemisphere-->right hemiplegia, apraxia, compulsiveness, overly cautious
MCA: cognition, language, memory Left MCA-->aphasia Right MCA--> difficulty understanding spatial relationships; neglect; impairment of nonverbal comunication, dressing apraxia, constructional apraxia
MCA: other None
Posterior cerebral artery: somatosensory hemianesthesia; slow pain is preserved
PCA: motor hemiparesis; If lesion near origin of artery-->vertical gaze palsy;oculomotor nerve palsy, loss of medial deviation of the eyes with preserved convergence, vertical skew deviation of the eyes
PCA: special senses and autonomic function homonymous hemianopia; cortical blindness; hallucination; lack of depth perception; impaired eye movement, except lateral and inferomedial eye movements; visual agnosia; limbs may show vasomotor and/or trophic abnormalities
PCA: emotions and behavior memory loss
PCA: cognition, language, and memory difficulty reading
PCA: other None
Basilar artery: somatosensory bilateral sensory loss
BA: motor tetraplegia; abducens nerve palsy(palsy of lateral gaze); locked-in syndrome; oculomotor nerve palsy; decorticate or decerebrate rigidity; paresis or paralysis of muscles of the tongue lips palate, pharynx, and larynx
BA: special senses and autonomic function vertigo, diplopia, vomiting, nausea, nystagmus, hearing loss, pupil constriction(involvement of descending sympathetic fibers in the pons; however, pupils may be reactive to light)
BA: emotions and behavior None
BA: cognition, language, and memory reduced consciousness
BA: other Coma

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
