Case study questions:

This patient was admitted on January 14 with a history of progressive right hemiparesis for the
previous 1 to 2 months; fluctuating numbness of the right arm, thorax, and buttocks; jerking of the
right leg; periods of speech arrest; diminished comprehension in reading; and recent development
of a hemiplegic gait. He is suspected of having a left parietal tumor [the parietal lobes of the
cerebrum are on either side under the roof of the skull].
Examinations done before hospitalization included skull films, EEG, and CSF analysis, which were all
normal. After admission, an MRI was abnormal in the left parietal region, as was the EEG.
An MRA study to assess cerebral blood vessels was attempted, but the patient became progressively
more restless and agitated after sedation, so the procedure was stopped. During the recovery phase
from the sedation, the patient was alternately somnolent [sleepy] and violent, but it was later
apparent that he had developed almost a complete aphasia and right hemiplegia.
In the next few days, he became more alert, although he remained dysarthric [from the Greek
arthroun, to utter distinctly] and hemiplegic.MRI and MRA with the patient under general anesthesia
on January 19 showed complete occlusion of the left internal carotid artery with cross-filling of the
left anterior and middle cerebral arteries from the right internal carotid circulation.

Final diagnosis: Left CVA caused by left internal carotid artery occlusion.
