21. Weakness/sensory loss in the face/arms (the
motor and sensory cortexes that control these
regions of the body are within the MCA
territory)
Wernicke/Broca aphasia if issue resides on
dominant (usually left) hemisphere.
Hemineglect if issue relies on non-dominant
(usually right) hemisphere
Certain visual field defects such as upper or
lower audrantic anopia can be caused by MCA
infarcts
Paralysis/sensory loss will be contralateral to
the side of the MCA infarct (given that these
nerves cross over to the other side in the
brainstem).
