Types of stroke
(Lesson 2) - Correct Answers Ischemic: 87%
-Thrombo c
-Embolic
-Lacunar
Hemorrhagic: 13%
-Intracerebral
-Subarachnoid
Thrombo c Stroke (Ischemic) - Correct Answers 48% of all strokes
-typically occurs during sleep
-slow progressive onset of deficits
-50% are associated with prior TIA
Embolic Stroke (Ischemic) - Correct Answers 26% of all strokes
-typically occurs while awake
-sudden, immediate deficits (some mes seizures)
-11% are associated with prior TIA
Lucunar Stroke (Ischemic)
small vessel disease - Correct Answers 13% of all strokes
-small infarct (>15-20 cm) deep in the brain
-onset can be gradual or sudden
,-23% associated with proceeding TIA
-o3en pure sensory or motor symptoms
-typically no higher cor cal func onal involved
Intracerebral Hemmorhage (ICH) - Correct Answers 10% of all strokes
-90% happen with the pa ent is under "no stress"
-major cause of "hypertension"
-onset may be gradual or sudden
-8% are associated with prior TIA
-direct correla on with high blood pressure/ hypertension
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) - Correct Answers 3% of all stroke
-occurs o3en during strenuous ac vity
-cause: rupture aneurysms and vascular malforma ons
-sudden onset
-7% are associated with preceding TIA
Le3 Stroke with Right Hemiplegia - Correct Answers -Language/Perceptual problems
-expressive aphasia
-recep ve aphasia
-global aphasia
-alexia, agraphia , acalculia
-apraxias: motor planning perceptual problems
(Impaired verbal and math skills with word le;er discrimina on
,Le3 Stroke with Right Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) - Correct Answers -Slow, anxious, cau ous,
normal a;en on span
-underes mated abili es
-emo onally labile ( abrupt mood changes)
-quick to anger and/or become frustrated
Right Stroke with Le3 Hemiplegia - Correct Answers Perceptual problems/ Distor on of
physical reality
-visual spa al disorders :depth percep on
-construc onal rela onships
-direc onal concepts
-neglect, drawing abili es
-body schema percep on disorders;
-perceptual language disorders
language
Right Stroke with Le3 Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) - Correct Answers -fast and impulsive
-short a;en on span
-overes mate abili es/ judgement
-denial of illness (anosognosia)
-lack of inhibi on
-inability to express emo ons /affect is flat
Cerebrum - Correct Answers -frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes
-consis ng of two hemispheres, le3 and right, separated by a fissure
-responsible for the integra on of complex sensory and neural func ons and the ini a on and
coordina on of voluntary ac vity in the body.
, ini ates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of the cerebrum
enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emo ons and learning.
Frontal Lobe - Correct Answers -controls voluntary movement
-thinking problem solving
-reasoning judgement
-personality
Primary Motor Cortex
(motor homunculus) - Correct Answers -located on the pre-central gyrus
-controls voluntary movement
-lesion to this area results in motor deficits and/or paralysis to the contralateral side of the body
Premotor Cortex - Correct Answers -located just anterior to the primary motor cortex
-controls ac ons of trunk and proximal limb muscles
-responsible for body part ownership
-lesion to this area result in unilateral neglect
Supplementary Motor Cortex - Correct Answers -located medial to the primary motor cortex
-motor planning region
-stores motor memories and directs ac vity of primary motor cortex
-lesion may result in apraxia
Broca's Area - Correct Answers Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe,
usually in the le3 hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech.
-Speech motor area (expressive)
-located only in the le3 side of the brain in 90% of people
