A 42-year-old male patient is brought into the emergency room after being struck on the left side of the head with a board during a construction accident and knocked unconscious. When he recovers consciousness, he is able to hear but is no longer able to understand what is being said to him. From this, you suspect that he has experienced damage to the occipital lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, or prefrontal lobe.

A previously healthy 21-year-old man is brought to the emergency department 24 hours after the sudden onset of blindness in his left eye. He reports that he has been under considerable stress recently because of personal problems and difficulty with school. His pulse is 82/min and blood pressure is 110/72 mm Hg. He is unable to detect light or count fingers using the left eye. Visual acuity is normal in the right eye. Pupils are equal in size and reactive to light. No afferent pupillary defect is found in either eye. Fundoscopic examination shows no abnormalities. He blinks equally to visualize the threat presented to both eyes. Sensation to pinprick and light touch is diminished over the left side of his body. Strength and reflexes are normal. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A) Complex partial seizure B) Conversion disorder C) Migraine D) Occipital lobe neoplasm E) Optic nerve neoplasm F) Transient ischemic attack

A 47-year-old man comes to the emergency department 30 minutes after the onset of a severe headache. He has smoked 2 packs of cigarettes daily for 25 years. Because of an abnormal finding on neurologic examination, a CT angiogram is done. A normal CT angiogram of the arteries at the base of the brain is shown; the arrow indicates the left PCA vessel that is occluded in this patient. Neurologic examination most likely showed which of the following findings in this patient? A) Extremity ataxia on the left B) Extremity ataxia on the right C) Left homonymous hemianopia D) Leftward gaze paralysis E) Right homonymous hemianopia F) Rightward gaze paralysis
