Ischemia of brain tissue is usually secondary to either a thrombus or embolus in a cerebral artery. There is a wide range of stroke symptoms depending on the vessels involved, but the classical symptoms are typically related to the middle cerebral artery (MCA) distribution. This includes contralateral weakness, contralateral numbness, contralateral facial droop, and slurred speech.
