4. Lucunar Stroke
(Ischemic)
small vessel dis-
ease
5. Intracerebral
Hemmorhage
(ICH)
, -typically occurs during sleep
Ischemic: 87%
-slow progressive onset of deficits
-Thrombotic
-50% are associated with prior TIA
-Embolic
- 26% of all strokes
L -typically occurs while awake
a -sudden, immediate deficits (sometimes seizures)
c -11% are associated with prior TIA
u
n 13% of all strokes
a -small infarct (>15-20 cm) deep in the brain
r -onset can be gradual or sudden
-23% associated with proceeding TIA
H -often pure sensory or motor symptoms
e -typically no higher cortical functional involved
m
o 10% of all strokes
r -90% happen with the patient is under "no stress"
r -major cause of "hypertension"
h -onset may be gradual or sudden
a -8% are associated with prior TIA
g -direct correlation with high blood pressure/ hypertension

%
-Intracerebral
-Subarachnoid
48% of all strokes
, Subarachnoid 3% of all stroke
Hemorrhage -occurs often during strenuous activity
(SAH) -cause: rupture aneurysms and vascular malformations
-sudden onset
-7% are associated with preceding TIA
7. Left Stroke with -Language/Perceptual problems
Right Hemiplegia -expressive aphasia
-receptive aphasia
-global aphasia
-alexia, agraphia , acalculia
-apraxias: motor planning perceptual problems
(Impaired verbal and math skills with word letter discrimination
8. Left Stroke with -Slow, anxious, cautious, normal attention span
Right Hemiplegia -underestimated abilities
(BEHAVIORS) -emotionally labile ( abrupt mood changes)
-quick to anger and/or become frustrated
9. Right Stroke with Perceptual problems/ Distortion of physical reality
Left Hemiplegia -visual spatial disorders :depth perception
-constructional relationships
-directional concepts
-neglect, drawing abilities
-body schema perception disorders;
-perceptual language disorders
language
10. Right Stroke with -fast and impulsive
Left Hemiplegia -short attention span
(BEHAVIORS) -overestimate abilities/ judgement
-denial of illness (anosognosia)
, -lack of inhibition
-inability to express emotions /affect is flat
11. Cerebrum -frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes
-consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure
-responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and the
initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body.
initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of
the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solv-
ing, emotions and learning.
12. Frontal Lobe -controls voluntary movement
-thinking problem solving
-reasoning judgement
-personality
13. Primary Motor -located on the pre-central gyrus
Cortex -controls voluntary movement
(motor ho- -lesion to this area results in motor deficits and/or paralysis to the contralateral
munculus) side of the body
14. Premotor Cortex -located just anterior to the primary motor cortex
-controls actions of trunk and proximal limb muscles
-responsible for body part ownership
-lesion to this area result in unilateral neglect
15. Supplementary -located medial to the primary motor cortex
Motor Cortex -motor planning region
-stores motor memories and directs activity of primary motor cortex
-lesion may result in apraxia
16. Broca's Area Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left
hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech.
