Hemiplegia with Mutism or Apathy Caused by Infarction in the Territory of Cortical Branches of Anterior Cerebral Artery
Abstract：To further understand the clinical features of the infarction in the territory of cortical branches of anterior ce-rebral artery. Methods:The clinical conditions and CT scan findings in 3 patients with the infarction in the territory of cortical branches of anterior cerebral artery were reviewed and analyzed. Results: The notable symptoms of severe contralateral hemiplegia, murism or apathy occurred in the 3 patients with the infarction in the parasagittal cortex and subcortical areas of frontal lobe,including lesions in the anterior part of cingulated gyrus,the medial part of precentral gyrus,the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area. Conclusion: The cortical branches occlusion of the anterior cerebral artery may cause the symptoms of contralateral hemiplegia, murism or apathy.
