Symptoms of Basilar Artery Stoke - ANS Coma, quadriparesis, ataxia, dysarthria, CN dysfunction and visual deficits, Locked in Syndrome, Intranuclear Opthalmoplegia, gaze paresis, Millard Gulber Syndrome CN VI VII damage (diplopia facial weakness, loss of corneal reflex), Nausea, vomiting, diplopia, gaze palsy, dysarthria,. vertigo, tinnitus, hemiparesis, and quadriplegia. Anterior Cerebral Artery (ACA) - ANS Feeds the media portion of the frontal and parietal lobes as well as the corpus callosum Symptoms of ACA Stroke - ANS Contralateral motor/sensory deficits impacting legs > arms Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) - ANS Feeds majority of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes, basal ganglia, internal capsule. It is divided M1 - M4
