Pathophysiology
92F + atrial fibrillation + numbness/tingling of her right leg; where is the stroke lesion?
- left or right side of the brain?
- à answer = left (contralateral).
- medial or lateral cerebral hemisphere?
- àanswer = medial (homunculus for lower limb is
medial, upper limb and face are lateral).
- anterior or posterior to the central sulcus?
- ànswer = posterior (primary sensory cortex
is posterior; primary motor is anterior).
