A stroke in the middle cerebral artery is the most common site for such an event to occur. The typical symptoms associated with this type of stroke include:

Aphasia: Difficulties with language and other higher cerebral functions.1
Hemiparesis: Weakness affecting the face and arm on the side of the body opposite to the stroke.1
Sensory loss: A loss of sensation in the same areas affected by weakness (the face and arm).1

It is important to note that these symptoms arise because the middle cerebral artery supplies critical regions of the brain responsible for motor control, sensation, and language processing.1
