COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) |
Chronic right parietal infarct01/24/2008 |
What is chronic right parietal infarct and what behavioral symptoms does it cause?
It means an old stroke. Occasionally, it is discovered incidentally by brain image (CT/MRI). In other words, it is silent and the patient is not aware that he suffered a stroke. However, generally it causes cognitive/behavioral changes depending on how big the stroke is and where exactly it is located. Common symptoms for such location of a stroke include confusion, disorientation and neglect of the left side. The patient must be evaluated for the cause of the stroke so that measures can be taken to prevent further/recurrent stroke.
Hope the above helps,
