Neurologic deficits reflect the area of brain involved (see Table 1: Stroke (CVA): Selected Stroke Syndromes). Anterior circulation stroke typically causes unilateral symptoms.

Neurologic deficit (decreased function of the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves): Neurologic deficits are caused by spinal fracture or cauda equina syndrome due to spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).

Neurologic deficits, intense pain, permanent loss of sensation, loss of voluntary movement, and/or loss of mobility are possible complications. Following surgery, syringomyelia may recur and require additional operations.

A focal neurologic deficit is a problem in nerve, spinal cord, or brain function that affects a specific location, such as the left face, right arm, or even a small area such as the tongue.
