This is a report of a patient who apparently presented with a left sensorimotor buccofacial insult, ie he had numbness and weakness of the left face, mouth and oral structures. The initial CT scan showed a possible right subcortical infarct, which was confirmed by a follow up CT scan. (As you already know, the AVC is a cerebrovascular accident, a stroke).

The passage presented for this translation is a brief introductory summary by the physician. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the semimembranosus or biceps femoris muscles for the following reasons:

1. A diagnosis of muscle weakness of two isolated muscles such as the above could only be ascertained by electrophysiological studies which were not mentioned and would not appear in an introductory remark such as the above.
2. In the context of a CVA, these muscles would not be affected in isolation and nerve conduction studies would probably not even have been performed.
3. Injuries to these specific muscles would not be routine in the context of a CVA so the physician would have to use the full name of the muscles, (not any abbreviation), in his notes as no physician would otherwise be expected to have any idea about what he was talking.
