(Minor herniations,

Stroke(CVA) and its Vascular syndromes (P1)
===================================
Knowledge of cerebral vascular anatomy(circle of Willis) is essential to understand the symptoms, diagnosis, and management of stroke.
Common arteries in the circle of Willis and their clinical manifestations when involved in CVA.

1.Clinical manifestations of Anterior Crebral
==================================
Artery syndrome
=============
# Contralateral hemiparesis involving mainly the lower extremity the upper extrimity is more spared
# Contralateral hemisensory loss involving mainly the uppe LE the UE is more spared
# Urinary incontinence
# Problems with imitations and Bimanual tasks,apraxia
2. Clinical manifestations of middle cerebral
===================================
Artery Syndrome
=============
# Contralateral hemiparesis involving mainly the UE and face, LE is more spared
# Contralateral hemisensory loss involving the UE and face ,LE is more spared
# motor speech impairment(Broca's or non fluent aphasia )
# Receptive speech impairment (Weernicke's or fluent aphasia)
# Perceptual deficits
# Contralateral homonymous hemianopsia etc.
