What is CVA with the poorest prognosis?
A CVA or Cerebral Vascular Accident which is often referred to as a stroke occurs when there is a blockage of blood supply to the brain. The blockage encourages the deterioration of brain tissues. The most severe form of CVA with the poorest prognosis is a Intracerebral hemorrage. This is often related with individuals who suffer with high blood pressure.
What is the reason for hemiparesis?
There is infarction or hemorrhage (bleeding) in the internal capsule area of the brain. Which causes hemiparesis in opposite side of the body.
What is spastic hemiparesis?
Usually there is hemiparesis on the opposite side of the lesion, as the motor and sensory fibres cross to opposite side of the body. In ipsilateral hemiparesis there is lesion in the region after crossing of fibres has taken place. This is very uncommon.
What is hemaphersis?
Hemiparesis is muscle weakness on only one side of the body. When hemiparesis happens as a result of a stroke, it commonly involves muscles in the face, arm, and leg.
What is flaccid hemiparesis?
Flaccid hemiparesis means that there is no movement or muscle flickers in one side of the body. This is usually the first stage of hemiparesis following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or neurological accident. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the person with this condition will improve. It usually takes between 6-12 months post CVA/ injury to understand the long term prognosis for this person, however saying this, if the person has good recovery in the first 3-6 months this is a good sign. Hemiplegia is also another commonly used term - this is where there is no movement at all in the affected side. Check out this website and the following info gathered there on one theory of CVA http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?indexed=google&rid=physmedrehab.section.726 Brunnstrom (1966, 1970) and Sawner (1992) also described the process of recovery following stroke-induced hemiplegia. The process was divided into a number of stages: # Flaccidity (immediately after the onset) No "voluntary" movements on the affected side can be initiated # Spasticity appears Basic synergy patterns appear Minimal voluntary movements may be present # Patient gains voluntary control over synergies Increase in spasticity # Some movement patterns out of synergy are mastered (synergy patterns still predominate) Decrease in spasticity # If progress continues, more complex movement combinations are learned as the basic synergies lose their dominance over motor acts Further decrease in spasticity # Disappearance of spasticity Individual joint movements become possible and coordination approaches normal # Normal function is restored (It must be remembered that although 7 stages mentioned - not all people progress from stage to stage - some may only get to stage 1 or others to stage 3 etc and their recovery may plateau)

What does CVA after a veterinarian?
CVA in veterinary fields can mean "certified veterinary assistant" or "certified veterinary accountant"; if CVA follows a veterinarian's name and other titles (such as DVM, VMD, etc), then I would lean towards the second.
