An elderly relative suffered a CVA (stroke) and now has difficulty moving her right arm, and she also has speech problems. What areas of the brain were damaged by the stroke?
Mrs. Giammo asks, "How is what I had different from a stroke?" Provide a simple explanation of how a transient ischemic attack (TIA) differs from a cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke).
Mr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.
Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Q’s initial signs to the pathological changes.
Discuss the different types of disabilities That Mr.Q will face and possible treatments plans?
