Abstract
Corona radiata cerebral infarcts have the capability of leaving detrimental residual deficits if not recognized and treated promptly. This article describes the presentation and management of a 43-year-old woman who was transferred from a local community hospital to a larger institution’s emergency department. Initially presenting with nausea, vomiting, and dysarthria and examined global left sided extremity weakness and dysarthria, leading to a confirmed diagnosis via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a corona radiata infarction.
