Contralateral spastic hemiparesis and sensory loss with involvement of the face and upper extremity more than the lower extremity is a classic presentation of middle cerebral artery syndrome. The middle cerebral artery supplies blood to the lateral surface of the brain and is frequently affected by strokes. Anterior cerebral artery syndrome typically presents with more lower extremity involvement, while posterior cerebral artery syndrome presents with visual deficits. The internal carotid artery can lead to middle cerebral artery syndrome when occluded but does not have specific clinical features.
