About this condition
This is a type of stroke that occurs when blood flow is blocked in the left middle cerebral artery, which supplies a large portion of the brain's left side. The blockage causes brain tissue damage and typically results in weakness or paralysis on the right side of the body, along with speech difficulties since the left brain controls language in most people. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate hospital treatment to minimize permanent brain damage.
Common symptoms

When to see a doctor: immediately - call ambulance
