STROKE
• Hemorrhagic/rupture in 20% subarachnoid and
intracerebral hemorrhage
• Non-hemorrhagic/occlusion/ischemic in 80% cases
Thrombosis/embolism/hypoxia infarct
• Identify risk factors (hypertension, atherosclerosis, TIA)
– Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke (most common): supplies
most of the outer convex brain surface, the basal ganglia, and
the posterior and anterior internal capsules
– Early onset: facial asymmetry, arm weakness, and speech
deficits
– Complete MCA:
• Hemiplegia (paralysis) of the contralateral side, affecting the
lower part of the face, arm, and hand
• Contralateral (opposite-side) sensory loss in the same areas
STROKE
• Hemorrhagic (rupture) and Non-hemorrhagic
(occlusion/ischemic)
– Brain stem stroke involves vertebral and pontine
artery
– Symptom: vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance
– Locked-in syndrome is a condition in which the
entire body, except for the eye muscles is
paralyzed
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
• Temporary interruption of brain circulation that result
neurologic deficit at least less than 24 hours
• The most common cause is embolic disease from heart,
carotid, cerebral vessels
• The most common deficit:
– Hemiparseis
– Hemisensory loss
– Aphasia
– Confusion
– Hemiaopsia
– Vertigo
Epidural Hematome &
Transtentorial Herniation
