Chapter 22 Topographic classification of ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke cases presenting with hand weakness mimicking peripheral neuropathy

“…[3,6] Studies on ischemic stroke localization have shown that lesions of the corticospinal tract and the opercular cortex around the insula are associated with higher functional impairment. [11,12] It has also been reported that there is a relationship between the subcortical location of the stroke and the presence and severity of long-term functional impairment. [13] It is a known fact that functional improvement is related to lesion size, lesion location, and age of the patient, and the effect of early physical therapy on functional recovery cannot be denied.…”

Compensation for balance disorders: analysis of this multifactorial process

“…Interestingly, in more than 90% of brain strokes, the brainstem and cerebellar structures involved in automatic process of balance and gait control are intact. 49 , 50 In post-stroke subjects, these latter structures are particularly active while walking. 51 , 52 …”

Clinical characteristics in patients with oculomotor paralysis caused by isolated midbrain infarction

“…According to the blood supply areas of the midbrain or pons artery, the midbrain can be divided into the anteromedial region, anterolateral region, lateral region, and dorsal region [1,10]. Pons were divided into anterior medial and anterolateral pons artery supply areas, lateral pons artery supply areas, and posterior pons artery supply areas [6].…”
