unilateral symptoms

Neurologic deficits reflect the area of brain involved (see Table 1: Stroke (CVA): Selected Stroke Syndromes). Anterior circulation stroke typically causes ***unilateral symptoms***. Posterior circulation stroke can cause unilateral or bilateral deficits and is more likely to affect consciousness, especially when the basilar artery is involved.

Hemisymptomatik (Halbseitensymptomatik) is not as specific as hemiplegia (paralysis). It can be weakness on the affected side, disturbed sensory function, hemiparesis, hemiplegia, etc. depending on the severity.

hemi symptomatology
Not a medical expert, but I would imagine this refers to having no symptoms which are caused by one hemisphere of the brain only being affected, as in the case of stroke or hemi-Parkinsons.

: See my note. I don't think Hemisymptomatik is that specific. The author did not write "keine Hemiplegie".

well, sometimes we dont translate 1:1. Another instance is "keine pektanginöse Beschwerden". Although the author does not say "keine Angina pectoris", I'd still translate as "no symptoms of angina" :)

symptoms of unilateral brain damage
a bit long, but I am quite sure this is the meaning.
Unilateral symptoms refer to all types of diseases, not necessarily those connected to the brain.

hemiplegic symptoms
A tingling and numbness of the face and hand are very common during a migraine attack. True paralysis of the arm and leg are rare, but numbness and unstable gait and confusion are common. There is risk of true stroke for women on birth control pills who also have hemiplegic symptoms. There is controversy concerning use of triptans in migraine patients with hemiplegic symptoms.

In 10 of 15 cases with hemiplegic symptoms during migraine attack the areas of decreased tracer uptake showed a topographic relationship to neurological deficits. It appears that migraine attacks occur in connection with exacerbations of preexisting changes of neuronal activities, cerebral perfusion and metabolism.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2358010
Supratentorial lesions may cause hemiplegic symptoms, and these may mimic cerebral palsy. In children with cerebral palsy, the pattern of neurologic deficit may evolve to some degree over time (such as development of choreoathetosis in children with hypotonia); therefore, diagnostic confusion may occur. A significant change in the quality or degree of the disability should strongly suggest the possibility of an underlining neoplasm.

We also saw an excellent result immediately with the first treated patient, a forty year man, who came to us with incomplete traumatic cervical hemiplegic symptoms.

Danila Moro
: hemiplegia (and its symptoms) only relates to motor impairment and doesn't include sensitivity and other problems.// ok, so unilateral symptoms seem to fit better :)
