In a 70-year-old man, hypertensive, with a right hemiplegia of sudden onset with mild dysarthria, without alterations in evocation or language comprehension, what type of stroke do you think is most likely to have suffered?
The closest answer is 1. If we are strict we would be talking about a pure motor lacunar infarction (with mild dysarthria). Since the other 3 options do not give us a clinical picture like the one in the statement. Both options 2 and 3 give us a much more florid and extensive clinical picture.
Left capsular lacunar lacunar infarction.
A cortico-subcortical left frontotemporal sylvian infarction.
Brain stem infarction.
A left lenticular hemorrhage.
