Case Study: A 62-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented to the hospital with sudden onset of weakness of the right side. On examination, she had a global aphasia, left gaze preference, right homonymous hemianopsia (field cut), right facial droop, dysarthria, and right hemiplegia (NIH Stroke Scale = 22). Head imaging showed hypodensity in the left middle cerebral artery territory (MCA) (Figure 1). Angiography showed a left middle cerebral artery occlusion (Figure 2). Fig. 1: Head imaging showing hypodense areas (dark areas) on the left MCA territory.
