Thank you!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ron Hartong PhD (X): But with a few comments: 'hemiparesis' is more common than 'hemiparesia'; as you mention yourself, I think 'secondary to' is better than 'consequent to', and 'stroke' is used more often than 'infarct'.

  -> Thanks, Ron. I agree with all that you say. There are many ways of saying it, and I notice that the ICD uses infarction - which I had forgotten.

agree  Emma Goldsmith: Yes, I agree with all your added comments :)

right hemiparesis as a sequel of an ischaemic infarction in the occipital area


Explanation:
Esta es mipropuesta. Infarto suele traducirse por "infarction" y no "infarct"

En lugar de infarto también podrías poner strok. Considero que ambas opciones serían válidas.

Right hemiparesis as a sequel of ischemic occipital infarct


Explanation:
Best to eliminate excess wording where possible. Besides that, "ischemic occipital infarct" produces hundreds of thousands of Google hits, thus proving that the term's usage must be fairly common.
