3. Cerebral ischemic stroke
Definition:
acute focal neurological dysfunction caused by
focal infarction at single or multiple sites of the
brain or retina. Evidence of acute infarction
may come either from:-
a) symptom duration lasting more than 24
hours
b) neuroimaging or other technique in the
clinically relevant area of the brain.
According to WHO ICD-11
4. TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK
Old definition – (clinically based)
Brief episodes of neurologic dysfunction <24 hours resulting from focal temporary
central ischemia
New definition – (tissue based)
Transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord or
retinal ischemia without acute infarction.
According to WHO ICD-11
5. PROGRESSIVE STROKE
•A stroke in which the focal neurological deficits
worsen with time
•Also called stroke in evolution
COMPLETED STROKE
•A stroke in which the focal neurological deficits
persist and do not worsen with time.
According to HARRISON
8. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide.
Most common cause of severe physical disability.
Stroke causing 6.2 million death in 2011.
Prevalence of stroke in India is about 44.29 to 559 per
100,000.
Death rate is about 1.92 per 1000.
Annual incidence rate of stroke in india is 105 to 152 per
100,000 population.
WHO estimates suggest that by 2050 ,80% stroke cases would
occur in low and middle income countries mainly India and
China.
19. Anterior cerebral artery occlusion
Clinical features
1.Contralateral
a.paralysis of leg and foot with paresis of arm
b.cortical sensory loss over leg and foot
c.presence of primitive reflexes
2.Urinary incontinence
3.Gait apraxia
4.Mutism, delay and lack of spontaneity of motor
acts
5.Apraxia of left sided limbs(with left sided lesion
and corpus callosum involvement)

20. Internal carotid artery infarction
Clinical features
Variable - based on the collaterals and
mechanism of stroke (embolism, extension of
thrombus , low flow)
1. Amaurosis fugax
2. Watershed infarctions
3. MCA/ACA- either alone or in combinations
23. Middle cerebral artery occlusion
- superior branch
Clinical features
1.Contralateral hemiplegia – face and
upper limb more involved than lower
limb.
2. Contralateral hemisensory loss.
3.Conjugate gaze paresis(patient looks
towards the side of lesion.
4.Broca’s dysphasia (if left sided)

sided )

30. Lateral medullary syndrome
A. IPSILATERAL
1.Xth cranial nerve palsy
2.Cerebellar signs
3.Horner’s syndrome
4.Impaired pain, temperature and
touch on the upper half of face
B. CONTRA LATERAL
1.Impaired pain and temperature
over the body

31. Medial medullary syndrome
A.IPSILATERAL
1.XIIth nerve palsy
B.CONTRALATERAL

face
2.Hemianaesthesia sparing
the face.

39. Occipital lobe-occlusion of both calcarine arteries
Clinical features
1.Bilateral hemianopia cortical
blindness (light reflex preserved)
40. Basilar artery occlusion
Clinical features
1.Paralysis of all four limbs
2.Bulbar paralysis
3.Eye movements abnormalities
4.Nystagmus
5.Coma
Note: The neurological deficit is variable
depending upon the ischemia – modifying
factors

45. Limitations of clinical localisation of stroke
syndromes
1. A single syndrome may occur due to lesion at different sites
Eg. Pure motor hemiplegia
2.A vascular occlusion at a specific site can produce varying clinical
manifestations.
3.Clinical examination may not detect very small or multiple infarctions(as in
SBE).
Note:Imaging is very useful in the above situations.
46. SUMMARY

48. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Importance of clinical localisation of stroke
1. Careful clinical evaluation in combination with imaging helps to find out
the etiology of stroke and plan the appropriate treatment.
2. Clinical observations in correlation with imaging helps to understand
neurology / neurophysiology better.
Note:Neurological examination must be tailored according to the clinical
scenario .
First is ischemic heart disease
Combine 1+2 causes 15 million death in 2015 acc to WHO
Brodmann area presentation…
BILATERAL DEFICIT - difference in maximal or near maximal force generating capacity of muscles when they are contracting alone or in combination with contralateral muscles. Dissociatiated sensory loss-selective loss of fine touch and proprioception without loss of pain and tempreture or vice veirsa
Apraxia- difficulty with motor planning to perform tasks..,,abulia-akinetic mutism/lack of will.
Amorosis fugax- it is painless temparery loss of vision of both eyes….ophthelmic artary /ica
1- DUE TO MOTOR AREA INVOLVMENT OF FACE AND UPPER LIMB,,FIBRES FROM LEG CORTEX TO CORONA RADIATA. 3- FRONTAL CONTRAVERSIVE EYE FIELD 4. NONFLUENT APHASIA.
anosognosia- deficit of self existence.. Amorphosynthesis- unaware of sometic sansations of half of body
Lacunar infarct- deep infarcts,as a result of atherothrombotic or lipohyalinotic occlusion of perforating or penitraing arterieslacuna size is 3 mm to 2 cm. it may be present as(INTERNAL CAPSULE SYNDROMES)-1- pure motor, 2- pure sensory,3- atexic hemiparasis, 4-clumsy hand-dysarthria syndrome,.. Psuedobulbar palsy may occur after multiple lacunar infarcts…
Balient syndrome-bilateral visual association area lesion………causes-palinopsia and asimultanagnosia,,,,,,,,,,,,anton’s syndrome—b/l distal PCA infaction causes cortical blindness(preserved pupillry reflex)
WALLANBERG SYNDROM……. Horner syndrome also due to sympathetic tract involvement
Contraletral- pyramidal tract and medial lemniscus
Paresis due to lesion of corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts.
Red nucleus involvement,,,,claude syndrome+W=B,………4. northningar 5. perinaud-dorsal midbrain
Subthalamic nucleus involve- hemiballismus,……. Thalamic dejerine-roussy syndrome- contraleteral hemisensory loss followed later by an agonizing, searing or burning pain..relieved byanticonvulsents or TCA.
