This case study requires that the student review basic anatomy and physiology concepts around collateral blood flow, ischemia, causes of stroke, and cerebral cortex anatomy prior to interpreting patient history and neurological test results. This would be a great way to introduce the topic of stroke in a pathophysiology course with students working in small groups. It could even be used in first year anatomy and physiology after the nervous system and cardiovascular systems have been covered.
