what is hemianesthesia
1 answer
Hemianesthesia refers to a condition where there is a loss of sensation or feeling on one side of the body, typically affecting the entire half of the body, including the arm, leg, and face. It is usually caused by damage or injury to the brain, particularly the sensory pathways, such as stroke, brain tumor, or a brain lesion. Hemianesthesia can also be associated with other neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis or brain trauma. It can significantly impact a person's ability to perceive sensory stimuli, leading to limitations in daily activities and potentially affecting their overall quality of life.
