Abstract: Loss of cognitive function seen in patients after stroke varies greatly depending on a variety of factors such as the size of the infarct, its location, number of arteries affected, etc. This study was done to assess and compare the cognitive function in patients with stroke based on the location of the lesion using the MoCA and FAB scale. Following which the results were analyzed and it was concluded that the left hemispheric infarction shows a higher degree of loss in cognition.
