Abstract
We report three patients with large middle cerebral artery infarctions in the non-dominant hemisphere, with striking recovery of motor function. In each case this excellent functional outcome correlated with selective sparing of the motor cortex in the precentral gyrus. We discuss some of the possible circulatory variants that might underlie this pattern of infarction.Keywords
