Questions
A pаtient suddenly lоses the аbility tо mоve the right side of their body. They аre rushed to the hospital, and a brain scan (CT scan) is done 2 hours later. The scan shows that a deep part of the brain (the lentiform nucleus) looks blurry, and the clear line that usually separates the outer ribbon of the brain from the inside is fading away.
