msyamp, thanks for your explanation about PCA from the other post:
PCA covers occipital obe, part of parital and temporal post.thalamic branches. peduncles of the brain the corticospinal gone ? then it is diffiultto diff with mca. but have other symptos
According to my notes PCA supplies:
-Occipital lobes
-Inf Temporal Lobe
-Midbrain
-Post. 1/3 of Corpus callosum
The symptoms that PCA occlusion causes are:
-Alexia w/o Agraphia
-Thalamic Syndrome: partial/complete paralysis of one side of body
-Homonomous Hemianopia or the contralateral visual field with macular sparing.
-Anything else for PCA?
Please add! Thanks.

you are perfeclty right. it also causes contralateral sencory loss.
or temp lobe or fornix can cause amnesia anterograde.
colour vison.dist. macular sparing if all occipital involved. visual agnoia(face value of others lost)
all theses depending on the place of infarction.
you got everything right as on the above.
