The middle cerebral artery is
the largest branch of the internal carotid. The artery supplies
a portion of the frontal lobe and the lateral surface of the
temporal and parietal lobes, including the primary motor and
sensory areas of the face, throat, hand and arm and in the
dominant hemisphere, the areas for speech. The middle cerebral
artery is the artery most often occluded in stroke.
