ANSWERS) /ALREADY GRADED A+
Left MCA superior division infarct - ANSWER: right face and arm weakness of the
upper motor neuron
broca's aphasia
Left MCA inferior division infarct - ANSWER: fluent, or wernkickes, aphasia
right visual field deficit
right face and arm cortical type sensory loss
Left and right MCA superior division - ANSWER: both have cortico type sensory loss
left will be on right and vice versa
Left MCA deep territory - ANSWER: Right pure motor hemiparesis of the upper
motor neuron type.
Larger infarcts may produce "cortical" deficits, such as aphasia as well
Left MCA stem - ANSWER: Combination of the above, with right hemiplegia, right
hemianesthesia, right homonymous hemianopia, and global aphasia.
There is often a left gaze preference, especially at the onset, caused by damage to
left hemisphere cortical areas important for driving the eyes to the right.
Right MCA superior division infarct - ANSWER: left face and arm weakness of the
upper motor neuron type
left hemineglect is present
Right MCA inferior division infarct - ANSWER: profound left hemineglect
left visual field and somatosensory deficits are often present
Right MCA deep territory - ANSWER: Left pure motor hemiparesis of the upper
motor neuron type
Right MCA stem - ANSWER: Combination of the above, with left hemiplegia, left
hemianesthesia, left homonymous hemianopia, and profound left hemineglect.
, There is usually a right gaze preference,
especially at the onset, caused by damage to right hemisphere cortical areas
important for driving the eyes to the left.
Left ACA - ANSWER: Right leg weakness of the upper motor neuron 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 - ANSWER: Left leg weakness of the upper motor neuron type and left leg
cortical-type sensory loss.
Grasp reflex, frontal lobe behavioral abnormalities, and left hemineglect can also be
seen. Larger infarcts may cause left hemiplegia.

MCA inferior division - ANSWER: left side:
wernkickes aphasia-problem understanding language, r visual field deficit, r face and
arm cortico type sensory loss, motor finding absent
right side:
profound left hemineglect (unable to regcognize left leg), left visual field, and
somatosensory deficit, issues in understanding and comprehension and denial
MCA deep territory - ANSWER: contains the internal capsule filled with white matter
from the lateral corticospinal tract
left: right pure motor hemiparesis
right: left pure motor hemiparesis (paralysis of half body)
MCA stem - ANSWER: left:
