A dominant-hemisphere MCA infarct is an ischemic stroke that blocks blood flow through the middle cerebral artery on the side of the brain that houses language ...

A border-zone, or watershed, stroke happens in the fragile strips of brain tissue that sit between two major arterial territories—in this case, the branches of ...

A middle cerebral artery infarct occurs when blood flow through the MCA is blocked, depriving its downstream brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. In a partial ...

A partial, branch-selective MCA infarct is a stroke that injures only one division or perforating branch of the brain’s largest “workhorse” artery. Because ...
