Brain Anatomy
This area of the brain is the visual processing center
What is the occipital lobe
This is the most common ischemic stroke, accounting for about 50% of them.
What is a middle cerebral artery infarct
Dysarthria, aphasia, visual deficits
What is a Left MCA Stroke
This area of the brain deals with memory, nonverbal communication, pitch, and some aspects of personality
What is the right temporal lobe
A posterior circulation stroke most often affects this(ese) area(s) of the brain
What are the occipital and temporal lobes
Severe, sudden headache typically accompanied by nausea and vomiting
What is a subarachnoid hemorrhage
This area of the brain controls emotional expression, problem solving, memory, judgement, and sexual behaviors
What is the frontal lobe
Bleeding into the brain tissue accompanied by secondary bleeding into the ventricles
What is an intracerebral hemorrhage with intraventricular hemorrhage (ICH with IVH)
Neglect/lack of awareness, memory deficits, visual deficits
What is a Right MCA Stroke
This area of the brain allows a person to recognize faces/objects, create/understand speech, and memory related to facts/information
What is the left temporal lobe
A middle cerebral artery stroke affects this area of the brain
what is the temporal lobe
Symptoms will vary based on location - visual deficits, memory deficits, LOC, headache, loss of balance/coordination
What is an ICH with IVH
This area of the brain controls movement, balance, and muscle tone
What is the cerebellum
Bleeding into the subarachnoid space, most often caused by an aneurysm that has burst
What is a subarachnoid hemorrhage
Profound visual deficits, bilateral sensory/motor dysfunction, impairment of consciousness
What is a basilar artery stroke (posterior circulation)
