Anterior cerebral aery occlusion can cause:

A
Urinary retention
B
Contralateral lower leg weakness
C
Hemianaesthesia of opposite side of face
D
Hemianopia
High-Yield Explanation
Answer is B (Contralateral lower leg weakness): Anterior cerebra! aery chiefly supplies the medial surface of the cerebral coex (medial frontal lobe, medial parietal lobe, corpus callosum) The paracentral lobule is located on the medial frontal lobe and is involved in anterior cerebral aery occlusion. This leads to urinary incontinence and not urinary retention and contralateral lower limb weakness. Hemianaesthesia of opposite side of face is caused by involvement of the lateral surface of sensory coex in the parietal lobe (middle cerebral Aery) Hemionopia (Homonymous) is caused by involvement of the occipital lobe (position cerebral Aery).
