Question 1

frontal-temporal stroke. does that involve broca's?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: It depends which side and how extensive the stroke was.  It may affect broca's area in which case there would be some type of speech impairment.

Question 2

what is longevity expectancy after severe frontal lobe hemorrhagic stroke?

Accepted Answer

Not positive: Unfortunately, 60% of all intracranial hemorrhage patients die within one year after the bleed, but 40% do survive.  In this latter group, the main thrust to maintain stability involves very meticulous preventative care.

Question 3

is anger common after a stroke involving the frontal lobe of the brain?  and can it be a permanet

Accepted Answer

Stroke and mood: Yes! Frontal lobe strokes can cause personality and/or mood changes. The FLs when healthy act as our "filter", keep us from losing control of our emotions, help us maintain attention, among other things. Damage to certain frontal areas can cause difficulty controlling anger, tendency to be 'black and white' in your thinking, or even depression. Yes these can be permanent, but also can be treated..

Question 4

i have a two cm. cyst in my frontal left lobe of my brain. my grandmother had an anyurism and stroke. am i at a higher risk than most because of this?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The 2 cm cyst in your head/brain is presumably an arachnoid cyst and is not itself a risk factor for aneurysm.  There is likely a hereditary component to some aneurysms, and often screening is done for people who have a first degree relative (i.e., parent, sibling, child)  with an aneurysm. Having a single grandmother with an aneurysm likely does not increase your risk much if at all.

Question 5

small size encephalomalacia in the rt frontal lobe at the level of frontal horn . due to an stroke . age : 52 . sex : female . what is the treatment ?

Accepted Answer

No treatment: If there are residual deficits rehabilitation therapy can help the person regain function. Otherwise, unfortunately , there's not much that can be done.

Question 6

does a stroke that involves the frontal lobes cause paralysis in the arms?

Accepted Answer

Stroke: Is some one typing this question for you or are you typing with one hand or are you typing with both hands?  If the latter, then you don't have a stroke or you just had a minor one and are recovering from it.  If the second, then yes your front lobes were involved.  If the first, you just had a very big stroke, which is bad.

Question 7

what is dry stroke?

Accepted Answer

Ischemic: Dry stroke is a misnomer used for ischemic stroke that means interruption of blood supply to the brain due to a clot or an embolus. On the other hand, a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain) will be an example of the wet stroke.

Question 8

what is a mca stroke?

Accepted Answer

MCA: Middle cerebral artery stroke is a stroke happening in the distribution of the middle cerebral artery.

Question 9

conmon age for stroke?

Accepted Answer

Elderly . . .: Old age is typically defined as 10yrs older than my/your current age. So common age for stroke is in older folks. However, a recent study suggests that risk for stroke in younger patients is increasing due to great risk factors as we are not taking good care of ourselves. These risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity & smoking, etc. Go see your family doc.

Question 10

what are symptoms of a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Stroke symptoms. : Strokes can cause symptoms ranging from almost undetectable problems to complete loss of function on one side of the body. Usually strokes cause changes in movement or weakness on one side versus the other.  Speech and vision can also be affected as well as sensation.  Often times strokes are preceded by warning signs in which the after mentioned problems could be transient in nature. If you're experiencing any of these problems seek medical attention immediately.
