Course
Lenticulostriate (deep perforator) strokes — classic lacunar patterns and MRI detection (Advanced)
Advanced course: small perforator artery strokes (lenticulostriate) can cause pure motor or sensorimotor deficits without cortical signs. Learn what it looks like, how CT/MRI detect it, and why prevention targets matter
