Hello,
It is not clear from your description regarding the type of clotting that has occurred in your brother's brain. Depending on the area of damage, deficits are seen in patients. In your brother probably the area needed for vision has been damaged. The pain in hands and legs needs to be examined by a doctor for any conclusion. It is however unlikely to be related to acitrom. Once damaged, the brain recovers function slowly over months. you need to give him regular treatment and medical care.
Good luck.
