The Board found that the veteran's large lacunar infarct involving the left anterior or internal capsule, superior head of the caudate nucleus and medial basal ganglia is not related to VA treatment or examination. The Board also determined that this condition was not shown in service and is not connected to any service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a nexus between the veteran's large lacunar infarct involving the left anterior or internal capsule, superior head of the caudate nucleus and medial basal ganglia and his active service or any service-connected condition.
