Major clinical syndromes of the MCA, ACA, and PCA territories

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Left ACA   Right leg weakness of the UMN type and right leg cortical-type sensory loss. Grasp reflex, frontal lobe behavioral abnormalities, and transcortical aphasia can also be seen. Larger infarcts may cause right hemiplegia.  
🗑
Right ACA   Left leg weakness of the UMN type and left leg cortical-type sensory loss. Grasp reflex, frontal lobe behavioral abnormalities, and transcortical aphasia can also be seen. Larger infarcts may cause left hemiplegia.  
🗑
Left PCA   Right homonymous hemianopia. Extension to the splenium of the corpus callosum can cause alexia without agraphia. Larger infarcts including the thalamus and internal capsule may cause aphasia, right hemisensory loss and right hemiparesis.  
🗑
Right PCA   Left homonymous hemianopia. Larger infarcts including the thalamus and internal capsule may cause left hemisensory loss and left hemiparesis.  
🗑
Left MCA stem   Combo of the above (sup/inf/deep), w/R hemiplegia, R hemianesthesia, R homonymous hemianopia, & global aphasia. Often a left gaze preference, esp at the onset, caused by damage to the left hemisphere cortical areas important for driving the eyes to the R.  
🗑
Right MCA stem   Combo of the above (sup/inf/deep), w/L hemiplegia, L hemianesthesia, L homonymous hemianopia, & profound L hemineglect. Often a R gaze preference, esp at the onset, caused by damage to the R hemisphere cortical areas important for driving eyes to the L.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
