A 65 year old hypertensive man wakes up in the morning with slurred speech, weakness of the left half of his body and drooling. Which part of the brain is affected?

The key is B. Right internal capsule. [As symptoms are on left side lesion is on right side of the brain.

So answer should be either b) right internal capsule or c) right midbrain. If it was midbraine there would

have cranial nerve involvement. On the other hand given picture is very much consistent with lacunar

infarction of internal capsule].
