In addition, a number of ocular vascular disorders are associated with numerous systemic diseases affecting the eyes and the brain simultaneously.V. BiousseN.J. NewmanPrimer on Cerebrovascular Diseases (Second Edition)
The visual pathway is very long and goes from the eyes to the occipital lobe, which is the region in the cerebral hemisphere that processes vision. Since the visual pathway goes through the cerebral hemisphere on each side, stroke affecting certain areas of the cerebral hemisphere will impact th...
Some functions of the brain that affect the eyes or vision are located outside the visual pathway. For example: When an injury from stroke occurs in an area of the brain affecting the oculomotor nerves, the following symptoms may be seen: Misalignment of the eyes –Misalignment of the eyes ...

After stroke affecting the motor system, patients generally exhibit greater movement variability [16] and unsteady force control [17] during bilateral movements, regardless of the coordination patterns. Also, the interhemispheric balance between the two hemispheres as well as the laterality in ascending ...
Anosognosia is a state wherein the patient is not aware or unable to perceive the severity of his deficit. This is frequent among patients who had right-sided hemispheric stroke, affecting the right middle cerebral artery, which supplies parts of the basal ganglia. ...

Mechanical endovascular thrombectomy in patients with large anterior circulation occlusion is well documented; however, most strokes affecting the brainstem arise from posterior circulation perforating branches. Endovascular thrombectomy is recommended for successful revascularization and favorable outcomes in cases ...
