Subcortical and brainstem lesions: clinical insights

Subcortical and brainstem lesions: clinical insights


About

**This is the second of three submodules on clinical localisation of stroke. **

Understanding the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and symptoms associated with stroke is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment. Unlock the key to timely stroke diagnosis and treatment by deepening your knowledge of underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and symptoms. Our engaging case-based modules, building upon an introductory foundation, will empower you to identify and interpret clinical symptoms in vascular areas, review essential vascular and cerebral anatomy, and grasp the nuanced presentations of stroke according to the affected brain region.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify and interpret clinical symptoms as they relate to subcortical regions.
  • Interpret presentations as they relate to brain stem lesions.
  • Classify the differing presentations of cortical versus sub-cortical stroke syndromes.
