Aphasia condition where the patient can move, see, and hear, but can"t talk indication of a problem in the circulation to the brain (dysphasia can speak gibberish, or sound like they are drunk [makes sense to them]) Possibilities: block in blood flow (most common), or broken vessel in brain. Stenosis narrowing of blood vessel due to an occlusion. Bruit unusual vascular noise where there is a high-pitched noise (normally lower pitch blood flowing sound) indicates stenosis blood flowing through a narrower tube. Obstruction in left side resulted in problem with right arm motor fx due to crossover of the hemispheres. Occlusion is promoting formation of little clots bc of turbulence on platelets jams a smaller arteriole when it gets to it.
