- Swelling
The bleeding happens when it finds its way into the fluid-filled areas of the brain causing swelling. [rossfellercasey.com]
If there is edema in the hand, you can use an extra pillow to elevate the hand to decrease swelling. When lying on your non-affected side, support the weak arm and leg on pillows in front of the body. [stroke-rehab.com]
This is especially true when nerves are compressed or the spinal cord is swollen, since changes in swelling or compression can also produce changes in symptoms. [spinalcord.com]
Computed tomography scan 24 hours later showed swelling of left cerebellar hemisphere and brainstem distortion due to the large left cerebellar infarct. He went on have emergency posterior fossa decompression. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Eyes
- Visual Impairment
And hemiplegia can also cause medical problems such as visual impairment, speech difficulties and epilepsy. Hemiplegia is a permanent condition, so it will not go away and it cannot be cured. [epilepsysociety.org.uk]
Neonatal hypoglycemia can result in long-term disabilities like epilepsy and visual impairment. The injuries include the parietal region frequently, but mainly the occipital region. [scielo.br]
Some of these additional diagnoses are medical in nature, such as epilepsy, visual impairment or speech difficulties. [contact.org.uk]

Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Spasm
Yet, because of the lack of mobility that many children face, there are risks of blood clots, muscle spasms, stiff joints, and bed sores. [birthinjuryguide.org]
Symptoms of Hemiplegia Symptoms of hemiplegia can vary from case to case but often include: muscle weakness or stiffness on one side muscle spasms or persistent contracted muscles shortness of breath inability to speak difficulty swallowing difficulty [neurohealthah.com]
Complications may include muscle and joint stiffness, loss of aerobic fitness, muscle spasms, bed sores, pressure ulcers and blood clots. [39] Sudden recovery from hemiplegia is very rare. [en.wikipedia.org]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Priming effects were suggested by increased maximal pinch force immediately after visual and movement based priming. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Results of recent studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suggest that the unaffected hemisphere plays a role in recovery. [doi.org]

[…] dbo: abstract Hemiparesis is unilateral paresis, that is, weakness of the entire left or right side of the body (hemi- means "half"). Hemiplegia is, in its most severe form, complete paralysis of half of the body. [dbpedia.org]
Causes Drug side effects Temozolomide Hemiplegia is similar to hemiparesis, but hemiparesis is considered less severe. [1] See also paresis stroke Template:Cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes Template:WikiDoc Sources [wikidoc.org]
Hemiparesis and hemiplegia Hemiparesis refers to one-sided ('hemi') weakness ('paresis') The words ' hemiparesis ' and ' hemiplegia' are used next to each other in practice. [braininjury-explanation.com]
- Aphasia

Due to aphasia, visual fields could not be tested in four of our eight left-brain-damaged patients. Of the remaining four patients, only one had a visual field defect. Lesion Location. [pnas.org]
- Hyperactivity
This role is compared with the lesser role that spasticity (defined as hyperactive stretch reflexes) of the antagonist muscle group appears to play in determining the weakness of agonist muscles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pain and ataxic disturbances were related to involvement of the thalamus itself, but the hemiparesis with hyperactive tendon reflexes and Babinski's sign was probably due to associated dysfunction in the adjacent internal capsule from compression [jamanetwork.com]
She was taken to another hospital, where examination disclosed hyperactive and symmetrical tendon reflexes and bilateral ankle clonus. [nejm.org]
- Babinski Sign
He had moderate weakness including the face, spasticity with brisk deep tendon reflexes and Babinski sign, and impaired vibration and position sense, all on the right side. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pain and ataxic disturbances were related to involvement of the thalamus itself, but the hemiparesis with hyperactive tendon reflexes and Babinski's sign was probably due to associated dysfunction in the adjacent internal capsule from compression [jamanetwork.com]
Strength was 0/5 on right arm and 3/5 on left arm. 1/5 in the legs, with right-sided hypesthesia, hyporeflexia, and a right Babinski sign. Head CT was unremarkable. Brain MRI was obtained (Figure 1). [journals.lww.com]
She had mild upper motor neuron left facial paresis, 4/5 strength in her left arm and positive left Babinski sign. [n.neurology.org]

Major complications, including intracranial hemorrhage, may leave permanent sequelae. The diagnosis requires a string-of-beads appearance of the cerebral arteries and complete or near-complete resolution on repeat imaging in 12 weeks. [journals.lww.com]
Workup
What would be the next best step in the diagnostic workup for this patient? A. Transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate for thrombus or patent foramen ovale B. Transesophageal echocardiography to evaluate for thrombus or patent foramen ovale C. [thecardiologyadvisor.com]
Initially managed as suspected cerebrovascular accident, admitted for stroke workup, which returned unremarkable. [n.neurology.org]
His workup revealed no history of smoking, normal blood pressure, no history of hypertension, an LDL of 75, and hemoglobin A1C of 6.4, despite normal fasting glucose. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
More studies are needed, but visualization is a relatively safe treatment that may help when used with more conventional treatments. [healthline.com]
(baseline), immediate post-treatment and 6 months post-treatment. [bmjopen.bmj.com]

Prognosis What is the prognosis for hemiparesis or hemiplegia? The prognoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis are difficult to predict because symptoms may change over time. [neofect.com]
Diagnosis can confidently be made using cerebral MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), so that patients can be informed about the favorable prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Management of stroke greatly affects the prognosis of the patient, so that the appropriate treatment is needed. Case. Mr. S 44 year old, came to the hospital with weaknesses in the arm and left leg since 6 days before when he was resting. [juke.kedokteran.unila.ac.id]
Prognosis Prognosis is favorable for hemiparetic and hemiplegic CP as they are not progressive, as aforementioned. The correct treatment and therapy will help your child adjust and thrive. [birthinjuryguide.org]
Etiology
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether time since stroke onset, etiology, and lesion side is associated with spatiotemporal and angular gait parameters of individuals with chronic stroke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In contrast to adults, hemiparesis in children occurs secondary to a variety of etiological conditions. [ruralneuropractice.com]
However, any individual case is important in order to increase the awareness of hypoglycemia as an important etiology of this condition. 1. Introduction Hypoglycemia could have different clinical presentations [1]. [hindawi.com]

Pathophysiology
Multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms are possible for this unusual phenomenon and has been previously described. Its implication in therapeutic decision making in a patient with an acute emergent condition has never been discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
At present, the pathophysiology behind hypoglycemia-induced hemiparesis is unclear. [hindawi.com]
The historically proposed pathophysiology of ictal hemiparesis is that of inhibition of the somatosensory and motor areas of the cortex. [journals.cambridge.org]
Prevention
However, these trials did not examine prevention of subluxation and only one examined prevention of contracture and improvement in function. [doi.org]
Range of Motion – Moving the paralyzed or weak limb or extremity can help prevent stiffness and muscle contractures. [inhomephysicaltherapy.ca]
The simulation creates real understanding for those concerned and supports stroke prevention. The hemiparesis simulator is independent from size and side of the body and can be used both alone and in combination with the age simulation suit GERT. [age-simulation-suit.com]
Seizure is the most debilitating condition, as it greatly impairs quality of life in both the affected individuals and their caregivers and prevents them from active social participation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
