Hypoplastic : It means that the left anterior cerebral artery is smaller than the right side.It is not unusual to have one of these vessels be bigger or dominant than the other side . It is just a normal variation . It does not signify a higher risk of stroke

Normal: It is a common normal variant that doesn't carry risk of stroke. We all have some asymmetry in blood vessels and hypoplasia simply means that blood vessel is smaller than it's counterpart on the other side.
