internal carotid


anterior cerebral


middle cerebral

What are the typical characteristics of ICA stroke

usually results in brain herniation, coma, or death




massive infarct

what are the typical characteristics of MCA stroke

contralateral hemiparesis and sensory loss--face and UE more affected




homonymous hemianopsia


dominant hemisphere L-- nonfluent aphasia


nondominant hemisphere R--perceptural deficits




loss of conjugate gaze to OPPOSITE SIDE

what are the typical characteristics of ACA stroke

contralateral hemiparesis and sensory loss LE more affected




mental confusion, aphasia


dominant side--contralateral neglect

what are the typical characteristics of PCA stroke

contralateral sensory loss


involuntary movements-tremor


transient contralateral hemiparesis


homonymous hemianopsia




visual agnosia


memory deficit


dyslesxia


central thalaimc pain


oculomotor nerve palsy

what are the typical characteristics of a lacunar stroke of posterior limb?

pure motor




contralateral hemiplegia UE and LE

What are the typical characteristics of


medial inferior pontine syndrome

SAME SIDE: paralysis of conjugate gaze to side of lesion, nystagmus, cerebellar ataxia, diplopia




OPPOSITE SIDE: hemiparesis of face, UE, LE, impaired sensation

what are the typical characteristics of lateral inferior pontine syndrome

SAME SIDE: nystagmus, vertigo, facial paralysis, paralysis of conjugate gaze to side of lesion, deafness, tinnitus, ataxia, impaired sensation over face




OPPOSITE SIDE: impaired pain and temperature over 50% of body

what is characteristic in Locked in syndrome and what artery is affected

complete basilar artery




tetreplegia, mutism, lower bulbar paralysis CN V-XII




preserved consciousness and vertical eye movement




can communicate with blinking only

what are typical characteristics in medial medullary syndrome

SAME SIDE: paralysis of 1/2 of tongue--deviates to affected side




OPPOSITE: paralysis of UE and LE, impaired tactile and proprioception

what are typical characteristics of lateral medullary syndrome. what is another name for this syndrome

Wallenbergs syndrome




SAME SIDE: cerebellar ataxia, vertigo, nystagmus, sensory loss to UR, trunk or LE




OPPOSITE SIDE: loss of pain and temp to body and face

what are the 6 stages of recovery from stroke

Stage 1: initialflaccidity, no voluntary movement




Stage 2: emergenceof spasticity, hyperreflexia, synergies




Stage 3: voluntarymovement possible, but only in synergy, spasticity strong




Stage 4: voluntarycontrol in isolated joint movements emerging, corresponding decline ofspasticity and synergies




Stage 5: increasingvoluntary control out of synergy, coordination deficits present




Stage 6: control andcoordination near normal

gait deficits: hip

poor hip position--retracted,flexed


trendelenburg


scissoring


insufficient pelvic rotation during swing


weak hip flexors

gait deficits: weak hip flexor compensatory strategies

circumduction


ER with adduction


backward leaning of trunk


exaggerated flexion synergy

gait deficits: knee

weak knee extensors




spastic quads can result in hyperextension

gait deficits: ankle

foot drop


equinus gait-heel does not touch down


varus foot--lateral WB


equinovarus
