What happens when a 94 year old male gets a stoke in the left side of the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: 94 yo people,have lost a lot of reserve, so healing is slow, but he should see a PMR doc to start therapy to maximize gains. Often some visual fields are lost, balance is affected, R sided weakness, improper social filter, so he may say things that he wouldn't have said before, neglect or ignoring the R side is a significant problem. These are worst case scenarios and he may not experience all
