FIGURE 12–17 Computed tomography image of a horizontal section of the head, showing an infarct caused by a right-sided anterior cerebral artery occlusion (arrows). Notice the location of the infarct (compare with Figs 12–6 and 12–7). The patient had weakness and numbness of the left leg.

Vertebrobasilar artery disease often presents with vertigo, ataxia (impaired coordination), dysarthria (slurred speech), and dysphasia (impaired swallowing). Vertigo, nausea, and vomiting may be present, and if the oculomotor complex is involved, there may be diplopia (double vision). The brain stem syndromes are discussed in Chapter 7, and those arising from arterial occlusion are summarized in Table 12–3.
