The middle cerebral artery territory is the most commonly affected territory in a cerebral infarction, due to the size of the territory and the direct flow from the internal carotid artery into the middle cerebral artery, providing the easiest path for thromboembolism.

The neurological deficit will depend on the extent of the infarct and hemispheric dominance, and include:

contralateral hemiparesis
contralateral hemisensory loss
hemianopia
aphasia: if the dominant hemisphere is involved; may be expressive in anterior MCA territory infarction, receptive in posterior MCA stroke, or global with extensive infarction
neglect: non-dominant hemisphere.
