A member asked:
Pathogenesis of an ischaemic stroke affecting the left cerebral hemisphere. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Words: Pathogenesis is the origin or development of a disease. Ischemic stroke is damaged brain tissue due to loss of circulation (like from a clot)(as opposed to stroke from bleeding). Left cerebral hemisphere is the dominant area in most people and usually controls speech and right sided motor functions.
