What will you expect if a patient suffered thalamic stroke on the right?


What will you expect if a patient suffered thalamic stroke on the right?

They should get better if and when any tumors are removed which is blocking the flow of their blood.

According to Stedman's medical dictioary, a thalamotomy (basically any damage to the thalamus) produces few, if any, neurological deficits or unpleasant personality changes.
In my experience, patients with (R) thalamus CVA may have dysarthria and dysphagia due to the damage to the caudate nucleus. There are really no measureable cognitive deficits.
