Neuropsychological deficits in patients with favorable outcomes after middle cerebral artery infarction treated with thrombectomy

Key Points

• Patients with right MCA infarctions exhibit significant neuropsychological deficits despite favorable outcomes.
• Neuropsychological evaluations show reduced quality of life and subclinical neglect among these patients.
• Assessment utilized mRS scores to classify functional outcomes, revealing hidden challenges.
• Findings suggest that favorable clinical outcomes do not always correlate with mental health and cognitive well-being.
