- 5. Contralateral hemiparesis and hemisensory loss involving mainly the face and arm (precentral and postcentral gyri) Aphasia if the left hemisphere is affected (rarely if the right hemisphere is affected) Contralateral homonymous hemianopia (damage to the optic radiation) Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

- 7. Key features of blood flow in BRAIN ⢠ In an adult, CBF is typically ďź750 ml/min or ďź45-50ml/100g/min or ďź15 % of the cardiac output (CO) In normal individuals, CBF remains constant when the mean arterial pressure varies between â60 and 160 mmHgâ

Editor's Notes
- It is a characteristic of the brain to adjust its own blood supply. The brain accounts for only 2-3% of total body weight and does not do any mechanical work, yet it receives 20% of all cardiac output.
- Ideally, when aterial blood pressure increase or decrease between 70-150 mmhg , the cerebral autoregulation can make the blood flow velocity constant , beyond the range, the blood flow velocity will increase or decrease dramaticaly with the blood pressure
- A thrombus or an embolus can occlude a cerebral artery and cause ischemia in the affected vascular territory. It is often not possible to distinguish between a lesion caused by a thrombus and one caused by an embolus. Thrombosis of a vessel can result in artery-to-artery embolism. Mechanisms of neuronal injuy at the cellular level are governed by hypoxia or anoxia from any cause that is reviewed below. At a gross tissue level, the vascular compromise leading to acute stroke is a dynamic process that evolves over time. The progression and the extent of ischemic injury is influenced by many factors. 2-5 Rate of onset and duration: the brain better tolerates an ischemic event of short duration or one with slow onset. Collateral circulation: the impact of ischemic injury is greatly influenced by the state of collateral circulation in the affected area of the brain. A good collateral circulation is associated with a better outcome. Health of systemic circulation: Constant cerebral perfusion pressure depends on adequate systemic blood pressure. Systemic hypotension from any reason can result in global cerebral ischemia. Hematological factors: a hypercoagulable state increases the progression and extent of microscopic thrombi, exacerbating vascular occlusion. Temperature: elevated body temperature is associated with greater cerebral ischemic injury. Glucose metabolism: hyper- hypoglycemia can adversely influence the size of an infarct.
