The symptoms of right-sided arm weakness, right facial droop, and aphasia (difficulty in speaking) suggest that the stroke is affecting areas of the brain responsible for motor function and speech. These functions are primarily controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain in most people. The Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) supplies blood to the areas of the brain that control these functions. Therefore, a stroke in the left MCA territory would likely cause these symptoms.
