Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction

NECROSIS occurring in the MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY distribution system which brings blood to the entire lateral aspects of each CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE. Clinical signs include impaired cognition; APHASIA; AGRAPHIA; weak and numbness in the face and arms, contralaterally or bilaterally depending on the infarction.

Also Known As:

Middle Cerebral Artery Syndrome; Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; Embolus, Middle Cerebral Artery; Left Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction; MCA Infarction; Middle Cerebral Artery Circulation Infarction; Middle Cerebral Artery Embolic Infarction; Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion; Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke; Middle Cerebral Artery Thrombosis; Middle Cerebral Artery Thrombotic Infarction; Occlusion, Middle Cerebral Artery; Right Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction; Thrombosis, Middle Cerebral Artery; Infarct, MCA; Infarcts, MCA; MCA Infarcts; Cerebral Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; Embolic Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; MCA Infarct; Middle Cerebral Artery Embolus; Stroke, Middle Cerebral Artery; Thrombotic Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery
