ABSTRACT
This chapter encourages quick, focused study and detailed answers aid comprehension of stroke with essential diagrams, colour images and sample MRIs. A posterior circulation stroke can be ruled out, as this would present with a variety of unique symptoms such as cerebellar dysfunction and nystagmus. A lacunar infarct would not cause expressive dysphasia, which would require damage to the dominant left temporal lobe. Kluver-Bucy syndrome presents with the clinical triad of hyperorality, hypersexuality and disinhibited behaviour. An ischaemic stroke, encephalitis and Alzheimer’s disease can cause it. The location of the lesion responsible for this presentation is the amygdala (bilateral lesion), which is involved in memory, emotion and sexuality.
