Overview

A systematic review found that acute facial paresis, arm drift, or abnormal speech are the best findings.[1]

Physical Examination

Vessel involved Physical examination
Anterior cerebral artery [2][3]
  • Decreased motor strength- contralateral lower limb[2]
  • Absent or decreased sensations-contralateral lower limb[2]
  • Increased reflexes-contralateral lower limb
  • Babinski's reflex positive
  • Hemineglect [3][4]
  • Transcortical motor aphasia(non fluent)[3][4]
  • Mutism
  • Contralateral grasp and sucking reflex
  • Memory impairment[5]
  • Confabulation[6]
  • Hypersexual gestures
Middle cerebral artery[7]
  • Most common site of infarction
Posterior cerebral artery[14][15][16][17][16][18]
Vertebrobasilar artery[22] Midbrain-Weber syndrome[23]
  • Contralateral decreased motor strength
  • Ipsilateral 3rd nerve palsy
Medulla
  • Ipsilateral Xth cranial nerve palsy
  • Horner's syndrome
  • Impaired pain, touch and temperature sensation on the upper half of the face
  • Romberg's sign
  • 12th cranial nerve palsy
  • Contralateral decreased motor strength
  • Contralateral loss of position sense, vibration and two point discrimination

Glasgow coma score

Glasgow coma score helps determine the severity of infarction, extent of damage and prognosis in unconscious or semi conscious patients. The score is determined by adding score in each category with the maximum score of 15 and minimum score of 3.[30][31][32][33][34]

Interpretation of Glasgow coma scale:

The following interpretation of glasgow coma scale may help determine the prognostic outcome in patients with brain injury:

Mild brain injury

Glasgow coma scale of 13-15

Moderate brain injury

Glasgow coma scale of 9-12

Severe brain injury

Glasgow coma scale of 3-8
