Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that the recovery from stroke depends of the region of the brain affected by the stroke.
You should know that in the brain it is not a matter of dimensions. There are certain areas of the brain, which can cause severe consequences even in millimeters of damage.
So, we can not judge based on her symptoms her possible recovery.
I recommend discussing with her attending physician on the above issue.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
