Question 10

Klinis Dementia lewy bodies

Answer 10

Trias DLB : Parkinsonism, fluctuating cognitive impairment, and visual
hallucinations
other clinical features may include
dysautonomia, REM sleep behavior disorder, and neuroleptic
sensitivity

Question 11

Tatalaksana Dementia lewy bodies

Answer 11

Acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors may be of benefit. Levodopa may worsen hallucinations
and high doses should be avoided in DLB. Neuroleptics have been
associated with increased risk of mortality when used in older
adults with dementia, but in some cases, putative benefits
outweigh risks of use. Typical neuroleptics are generally avoided
due to significant sensitivity, with reactions such as neuroleptic
malignant syndrome, worsening parkinsonism, confusion, or
autonomic dysfunction. If absolutely necessary, especially for
agitated psychotic symptoms, atypical neuroleptics should be tried
cautiously in low doses

Question 18

Tiga Varian utama FTD /Frontotemporal Dementia

Answer 18

There are three major distinct clinical phenotypes of FTD.

• Behavioral variant FTD
• progressive nonfluent aphasia
• semantic dementia, also called
  progressive fluent aphasia, or the temporal variant of FTD ; transcortical sensory afasia.

The
behavioral variant FTD is the most common phenotype and
symptoms include personality change, abulia, apathy, social
withdrawal, social disinhibition, impulsivity, lack of insight, poor
personal hygiene, stereotyped or ritual behaviors, hyperphagia,
suddenly new artistic abilities or hobbies, emotional blunting, loss
of empathy, mental rigidity, distractibility, impersistence,
perseverative behavior, impaired organizational and executive
skills

The second phenotype, progressive nonfluent aphasia, is
characterized in early stages by anomia, word-finding difficulty,
impaired object naming, and effortful speech with preserved
comprehension. Spontaneous speech becomes increasingly
dysfluent and speech errors become frequent. Behavior and social interaction remain unaffected until late in the disease at which
point the patient becomes globally aphasic.
The third phenotype is semantic dementia, also called
progressive fluent aphasia, or the temporal variant of FTD. It is
characterized by a progressive speech disturbance with normal
fluency, but impaired comprehension, anomia, and semantic
paraphasias. It may clinically resemble a transcortical sensory
aphasia. There is typically a predominance of left temporal
dysfunction, and/or in face and object recognition, reflecting right
temporal dysfunction

Question 19

Afasia Wernicke terjadi pada lesi topis

Answer 19

Lobus temporal dominant

Question 20

Amnesia nonverbal Dan visuospasial terjadi pada lesi

Answer 20

Lobus temporal nondominan

Question 21

Disfungsi lobus frontal dapat terjadi pada oklusi

Answer 21

Arteri Cerebral Anterior

Question 22

Psychogenic amnesia

Answer 22

Psychogenic amnesia has the characteristic finding of loss of
autobiographical memory, sometimes with preserved ability for
new learning.

Question 23

Wernicke’s encephalopathy

Answer 23

Wernicke’s encephalopathy, which results from
deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1), as occurs in malnourishment
such as in alcoholism, is defined by the triad of confusion, ataxia,
and ophthalmoplegia.

Question 24

Gerstmann’s syndrome

Answer 24

Gerstmann’s syndrome, which is
characterized by the tetrad of finger agnosia (inability to identify
fingers bilaterally), right–left confusion, dyscalculia (inability to
carry out calculations), and dysgraphia (inability to write). It
localizes to the dominant inferior parietal lobule, particularly the
dominant angular gyrus. A common cause is infarction of the
inferior division of the middle cerebral artery, in which case there
may be associated contralateral visual field deficits. Features may
occur individually

Question 25

anosognosia

Answer 25

a lack
of awareness of an acquired neurologic deficit

Question 26

hemispatial
neglect syndrome, topis lesi

Answer 26

hemispatial
neglect syndrome, consistent with a lesion in the nondominant
hemisphere involving the primary somatosensory cortex (area SI).
A lesion in the thalamus can also lead to a neglect syndrome

Question 27

Dejerine–
Roussy syndrome, or thalamic pain syndrome

Answer 27

Lesi posterolateral thalamus : diawali contralateral hemianesthesia followed
weeks later by pain, hyperesthesia, and allodynia. A similar
delayed central pain syndrome can occur with a lesion to the
medial lemniscus, dorsal columns, or with lesions to the parietal
operculum (the latter is also termed pseudothalamic syndrome).
The spinothalamic tract projects to the ventral posterolateral
nucleus of the thalamus, which in turn projects to the secondary
somatosensory cortex (area SII). A lesion to the primary
somatosensory cortex (area SI) would lead to contralateral loss of
sensation to touch, joint position sense, and vibration, but would
spare pain and temperature sensation, and would not cause a
delayed pain syndrome.

Question 28

Corticobasal syndrome

Answer 28

corticobasal syndrome (CBS), in which alien
limb syndrome occurs. The phenomenon of alien limb is marked by
movement of a limb, sometimes seemingly purposefully, but not
under voluntary control. Alien limb syndrome also occurs with
lesions to the contralateral anterior cerebral artery territory,
involving the corpus callosum or supplementary motor area. Other
features of CBS include parkinsonism, apraxia, and cortical sensory
loss. There are several causes to CBS, including corticobasal
ganglionic degeneration, and progressive supranuclear palsy

Question 29

Biomarkers Alzheimer Disease

Answer 29

• Hippocampal atrophy
  
  • CSF :reduced CSF beta-amyoid1–42 and increased total and phosphorylated CSF tau.
  • PET scan : FDGPET hypometabolism temporoparietal bilateral
  • White matter changes are common in AD but are not a specific biomarker

Question 30

Fase Alzheimer Disease

Answer 30

Terdiri atas 3 fase :

1. preclinical (where there are no clinical symptoms but there are biomarker changes such as amyloid deposition seen on amyloid imaging), 
2. prodromal (where patients have biomarkers positive and early symptoms but not affecting function), 
3. Alzheimer’s dementia (where patients have biomarkers and express functional deficits).

Question 31

Struktur otak terkait kesadaran

Answer 31

Consciousness is maintained by a variety of structures, including
the reticular activating system in the brainstem, the thalamus
(particularly the intralaminar nuclei), and the frontal lobes

Question 32

Declarative/explicit memory

Answer 32

Declarative, or explicit memory, involves memory for facts or
experiences. Declarative memory includes semantic knowledge, or
knowledge for facts and objectives, and episodic knowledge, or
knowledge of events. Nondeclarative, or implicit memory, involves
memory of skills and other acquired behaviors, such as ability to
drive a car or ride a bicycle. Lesions to the bilateral medial
temporal lobes leads to loss of predominantly declarative (explicit)
memory, leading to an anterograde amnesia with a retrograde
amnesia involving a specific period prior to injury, but usually with
preservation of more remotely formed memories

Question 33

Capgras’ syndrome

Answer 33

Capgras’ syndrome, which is characterized by
the delusional belief that a person, often a member of the patient’s
immediate family, is an identical-looking imposter

Question 34

Fregoli’s
syndrome

Answer 34

Fregoli’s
syndrome (in which the patient believes that the same person
exists in several disguises

Question 35

intermetamorphosis

Answer 35

intermetamorphosis (the belief that
individuals have swapped identities with each other while
maintaining the same external appearance

Question 36

reduplicative
paramnesia

Answer 36

reduplicative
paramnesia (which overlaps significantly with Capgras’, but there
is a delusion that there are identical places/objects rather than just
people

Question 37

Cotard’s delusion

Answer 37

Cotard’s delusion (a person’s belief that they are dead
or dying

Question 38

delusional misidentification disorders, macam

Answer 38

• capgras
• cotard
• intermetamorphosis
• reduplicative paramnesia
• fregoli

Question 39

Pseudocyesis

Answer 39

Pseudocyesis is not classified under the delusional
misidentification disorders but is a delusion that a person is
pregnant when they are in fact not; the patient may manifest the
signs and symptoms of pregnancy. It is more common in females
but has been reported in males

Question 40

Charles Bonnet syndrome

Answer 40

Charles Bonnet syndrome, a form of release hallucination, is a
condition marked by vivid hallucinations that occur in people with
severe visual impairment due to a variety of reasons, most
commonly ophthalmologic. Patients acknowledge that these
images are hallucinations. This may be mistaken as a delusional
disorder or psychosis, but the patient’s insight into the fact that
these are hallucinations helps rule this out

Question 41

Anton’s syndrome /Anton–Babinski syndrome

Answer 41

Anton’s syndrome, also known as Anton–Babinski syndrome or
visual anosognosia, manifests as cortical blindness with denial of
visual loss and confabulation. This syndrome results from bilateral
lesions of the medial occipital lobes (primary visual and visual
association cortices). A delusional disorder is not suspected, this is
due to a structural cause

Question 42

Balint’s Syndrome

Answer 42

Balint’s syndrome ( Balint–Holmes
syndrome), lesi di parieto-occipital.
Trias :optic ataxia (a deficit of
reaching for objects under visual guidance), oculomotor apraxia
(gaze apraxia, inability to voluntarily move the eyes to a new point
of visual fixation despite normal extraocular muscle function), simultanagnosia (inability to visually perceive more than one
object at a time).

This syndrome has been described with a variety
of pathologies including neurodegenerative disorders, progressive
multifocal leukoencephalopathy, bilateral watershed infarcts, and malignancy.
In general, though there are exceptions, lesions of the dorsal
visual pathways that pass through the parieto-occipital regions can
be thought of as leading to an abnormality in detecting “where”:
where an object is in space, how to reach that object while looking
at it. Lesions of the ventral, temporo-occipital pathways lead to an
abnormality of detecting “what”: what an object is

Question 43

human prion diseases; macam

Answer 43

human prion diseases are kuru, CJD, variant
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) (“mad cow disease”),
Gerstmann–Straüssler–Scheinker syndrome (GSS), and fatal familial
insomnia (FFI)

Question 44

normal pressure
hydrocephalus (NPH)

Answer 44

trias (NPH): cognitive dysfunction, gait impairment( “magnetic gait”), urinary incontinence. MRI
: ventriculomegaly, which is out of proportion to cortical
atrophy, transependymal edema.
Terapi : LP (30 to 50 cc) with subsequent
improvement in symptoms predicts a better chance of
improvement from a shunting procedure. Therefore, the first step
in the treatment of this patient should be a lumbar puncture,
possibly followed by shunt procedure (depending on the response
to the fluid evacuation with the lumbar puncture). Patients with
dementia for more than 2 years are less likely to improve with
shunting

Question 45

Gangguan memori pada depresi

Answer 45

Major depression results in poor attention and, subsequently,
immediate recall is often impaired, while short-term memory is
typically preserved

Question 46

Gangguan memori pada Early Alzheimer’s dementia dan Korsakoff’s
disease

Answer 46

Early Alzheimer’s dementia and Korsakoff’s

disease preserve immediate recall and show impaired learning and
recall of new information

Question 47

Gangguan memori pada transient global amnesia

Answer 47

Pada transient global amnesia (TGA), recent (short term) memory terganggu. Immediate memory,. Remote and procedural memory and
personal identity are retained. typically lasts 12- 24 hours and usually resolves
without deficit. Klinis : bertanya berulang ulang

pathophysiology of TGA is thought to result from functional alterations in the
bilateral medial temporal lobes. It has been associated with
migraine, hypertension, medical procedures, and stressful events,
among others. It Clinically the patients may ask the same questions
over and over each time the examiners come into the room. They
often forget meeting the examiner if the examiner leaves the room
briefly and then returns.

Question 48

human prion diseases, macam

Answer 48

1. kuru,
2. CJD,
3. variant
   Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) (“mad cow disease”),
4. Gerstmann–Straüssler–Scheinker syndrome (GSS),
5. fatal familial
   insomnia (FFI).
   These diseases share the neuropathologic features
   of neuronal loss, glial cell proliferation, absent inflammatory
   response, and vacuolization of the neuropil, which produces the
   characteristic spongiform appearance

Question 49

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Answer 49

CJD is a rapidly progressive dementia
associated with variable extrapyramidal/pyramidal tract signs,
myoclonus, and ataxia, and death typically ensues within 1 year.
Sporadic cases account for 85% to 95%, while 5% to 15% are
familial, with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. The
pathology occurs when the normal prion protein (PrP), which is
primarily an α-helical structure, converts into an abnormal form
containing a higher percentage of β-pleated sheets. The abnormal
form is insoluble, polymerizes, and accumulates intracellularly and
is resistant to proteolysis. The prion protein gene (PRNP) coding
for PrP is located on chromosome 20p
Neuroimaging of CJD includes cortical ribbon sign (restricted
diffusion in the cortex), and increased T2 signal in the caudate,
putamen, and pulvinar of the thalamus

Question 50

Gambaran histopathology Alzheimer Disease

Answer 50

Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It shows amyloid (neuritic) plaques,
which are extracellular collections of amyloid protein deposited on
dendrites and axons. They are composed of β-amyloid proteins.
Amyloid plaques are a characteristic finding in AD. The other
histopathologic findings in AD include intraneuronal neurofibrillary
tangles (paired helical filaments made up of abnormally
hyperphosphorylated tau protein), granulovacuolar degeneration
(neuronal intracytoplasmic granule containing vacuoles), amyloid
angiopathy (amyloid deposition in walls of small and medium sized
arteries), and Hirano bodies (cytoplasmic inclusions composed
mainly of actin and actin-associated proteins)

Question 51

Mekanisme aksi memantine

Answer 51

Memantine is a low-to-moderate
affinity noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist and is approved
for moderate–severe dementia in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

Question 52

Tatalaksana farmakologi Alzheimer Disease

Answer 52

Patients with AD have reduced cerebral production of choline
acetyl transferase, which leads to a decrease in acetylcholine
synthesis and impaired cortical cholinergic function. Donepezil,
rivastigmine, galantamine, and memantine are all medications used
in the treatment of dementia, most commonly AD. Donepezil is a
pure acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Rivastigmine is a combined
acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase antagonist, both of
which result in limiting the breakdown of acetylcholine.
Galantamine is a combined acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and
allosteric nicotinic modulator. Memantine is an NMDA receptor
antagonist that inhibits glutamate stimulation and thus
theoretically limits overactivation and toxicity to remaining
cholinergic neurons. Memantine also has some antagonistic action
at the 5HT3 serotonin receptor

Question 53

Akinetik mutism

Answer 53

Bilateral globus pallidus interna lesions can cause akinetic mutism.
In akinetic mutism, the patient generally has preserved awareness
with open eyes, but remains immobile, mute, and does not respond
to commands. The globus pallidus interna is part of the anterior
cingulate–frontal–subcortical circuit. Recall that bilateral ACA
infarcts to the frontal lobes and other lesions to the medial frontal
lobes are other causes of akinetic mutism.

Question 54

Agnosia

Answer 54

Agnosia is loss of ability to recognize previously known stimuli,
while the specific sense to detect the stimuli is not impaired

Question 55

Prosopagnosia, letak lesi

Answer 55

Prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize faces. Ability to
recognize people using other cues is often preserved. Face
recognition is thought to be a function of the right hemisphere, but
prosopagnosia most commonly occurs with bilateral lesions of thtemporo-occipital regions (bilateral fusiform gyri), as occurs with
bilateral posterior cerebral artery infarction. It can also be seen as
part of more diffuse processes that preferentially affect the
temporal lobes, such as Alzheimer’s disease

Question 56

Topographagnosia

Answer 56

Topographagnosia, a defect in spatial orientation, is marked by
inability to navigate in familiar places, read maps, draw floor maps
of familiar places, and perform similar functions. It localizes to the
nondominant posterior parahippocampal region, infracalcarine
cortex, or nondominant parietal lobe

Question 57

Asomatognosia, topis

Answer 57

Asomatognosia is marked by an indifferent inability to recognize
one’s own body part. It most often localizes to the contralateral
(usually nondominant) superior parietal lobule, the supramarginal
gyrus, and/or its connections. In somatoparaphrenia, a form of
asomatognosia, the patient denies ownership of a limb or limbs and
claims the limb is missing, or has been stolen

Question 58

Misoplegia

Answer 58

Misoplegia is severe hatred of a limb, a rare form of agnosia
seen in hemiparetic or hemiplegic patients following stroke. The
patient may attempt to cut off the limb or otherwise damage it

Question 59

alexia without agraphia, / pure word blindness

Answer 59

alexia without agraphia, or
pure word blindness. Alexia is a loss of reading comprehension
despite normal visual acuity. Ability to read individual letters of a
word is often retained. Writing and language comprehension are
normal in alexia without agraphia. It is a disconnection syndrome,
due to lesions in the dominant (usually left) posterior cerebral
artery territory, commonly involving the medial and inferior
occipitotemporal region and splenium of the corpus callosum. The
patient has a contralateral (usually right) homonymous
hemianopia. While the ipsilateral visual field is intact, words that
are seen cannot be effectively read, as the lesion in the splenium of
the corpus callosum prevents them from being transmitted to
Broca’s area

Question 60

Pure word deafness, or verbal auditory agnosia

Answer 60

Pure word deafness, or verbal auditory agnosia, is marked by
impaired auditory comprehension of language, though hearing per
se (of tones and other nonverbal sounds) is intact; audiogram is
normal in these patients. There is normal comprehension of written
language, distinguishing it from Wernicke’s (sensory) aphasia;
Wernicke’s aphasia is characterized by inability to comprehend,
read, or repeat, with fluent, nonsensical speech. The lesion causing
pure word deafness is most often in the bilateral middle portion of
the superior temporal gyri, sparing Wernicke’s area, but disrupting
its connections with the primary auditory cortex (Heschl’s gyrus)
and temporal lobe association cortices. Cases have been reported
with unilateral dominant hemisphere temporal lobe lesions. This
may be associated with amusia, or agnosia for music.

Question 61

Anomia

Answer 61

Anomia is inability to name objects with otherwise relative
preservation of language expression and comprehension. Patients
are able to recognize the objects but cannot name them. Anomia
usually occurs in association with other features of Broca’s
(expressive) aphasia , though it may occur in
isolation, particularly during recovery of a Broca’s (expressive)
aphasia. Anomia may occur with a variety of lesions, including
dominant hemisphere posterior inferior frontal gyrus and temporal
lesions. It has also been reported to occur in angular gyrus
syndrome, due to lesions of the dominant angular gyrus, in
association with gertsmann syndrome
and constructional difficulties.

Question 62

pseudobulbar affect

Answer 62

pseudobulbar affect,
also known as involuntary emotional expression disorder. The
pathophysiology of pseudobulbar affect is complex, but it most
often occurs in patients with bilateral lesions that disconnect the
corticobulbar tracts from the brainstem cranial nerve nuclei. It is
commonly seen in patients with diffuse subcortical dysfunction, as
occurs with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and
following traumatic brain injury but has also been reported in
patients with focal mass lesions or acute infarctions. A
dextromethorphan–quinidine combination has been shown to
reduce and sometimes even eliminate pseudobulbar affect in
patients with a variety of neurologic disorders

Question 63

Amelodia or affective motor aprosodia

Answer 63

Amelodia or affective motor aprosodia localizes to the
nondominant posterior inferior frontal gyrus, the nondominant
hemisphere’s analog to Broca’s area. Similarly, the inability to perceive and understand the emotional content of others’ speech

Question 64

sensory or receptive aprosodia

Answer 64

sensory or receptive aprosodia, localizes to the nondominant
posterior superior temporal gyrus, the nondominant hemisphere’s
analog to Wernicke’s area

Question 65

conduction aphasia, klinis Dan topis

Answer 65

The internal arcuate fasciculus connects Wernicke’s area in the
superior temporal gyrus to Broca’s area in the inferior frontal
gyrus. Lesions in this fasciculus lead to conduction aphasia, in
which repetition is impaired but other aspects of language are
intact

Question 66

transcortical afasia

Answer 66

Transcortical sensory aphasia can be thought of as a Wernicke’s
(receptive) / Broca aphasia but with intact repetition. Transcortical sensory
aphasia may be seen in dominant hemisphere MCA–PCA territory
watershed infarction, thalamic lesions (thalamic aphasia), and in
neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Transcortical aphasias are also seen in the stages of recovery from
other aphasia syndromes
. This aphasic syndrome is seen with a variety of cortical
and subcortical dominant hemisphere lesions in the frontal lobe,
but is most commonly seen in two general settings. The first occurs
in the setting of watershed infarcts in the dominant hemisphere
ACA–MCA watershed territory, sparing connections between
Wernicke’s and Broca’s area, but impairing speech output due to
disruption of connections between Broca’s area and the
supplementary motor area. The supplementary motor area is
located in the medial aspect of the superior frontal gyrus and can
be thought of as the pacemaker for speech output

Question 67

Foix–Chavany–Marie syndrome

Answer 67

Foix–Chavany–Marie syndrome, also known as anterior opercular
syndrome, is characterized by severe dysarthria, bilateral voluntary
paralysis of the lower cranial nerves with preserved involuntary
and emotional innervation. This syndrome is associated with
bilateral anterior opercular lesions, frequently in the setting of
multiple infarct

Question 68

Aphemia, or pure word mutism

Answer 68

Aphemia, or pure word mutism, also referred to as verbal apraxia,
is marked by an inability to speak fluently, impaired repetition,
and intact auditory comprehension. A pure Broca’s (expressive)
aphasia is characterized by inability to speak, write, name, or
repeat, but intact comprehension. In aphemia, there is retained
ability to write and comprehend written language. The lesion is in
the dominant frontal operculum, anterior and superior to Broca’s
area (posterior inferior frontal gyrus).

Question 69

Pure word deafness, or verbal auditory agnosia

Answer 69

Pure word deafness, or verbal auditory agnosia, is marked by
impaired auditory comprehension of language, though hearing per
se (of tones and other nonverbal sounds) is intact; audiogram is
normal in these patients. There is normal comprehension of written
language, distinguishing it from Wernicke’s (sensory) aphasia;
Wernicke’s aphasia is characterized by inability to comprehend,
read, or repeat, with fluent, nonsensical speech. The lesion causing pure word deafness is most often in the bilateral middle portion of
the superior temporal gyri, sparing Wernicke’s area, but disrupting
its connections with the primary auditory cortex (Heschl’s gyrus)
and temporal lobe association cortices. Cases have been reported
with unilateral dominant hemisphere temporal lobe lesions. This
may be associated with amusia, or agnosia for music.
In nonverbal auditory agnosia, there is agnosia to sounds, such
as the sounds animals make or environmental sounds. This most
often occurs with bilateral anterior temporal lesions, though
nondominant temporal lobe lesions can lead to this as well.

Question 70

Anomia

Answer 70

Anomia is inability to name objects with otherwise relative
preservation of language expression and comprehension. Patients
are able to recognize the objects but cannot name them. Anomia
usually occurs in association with other features of Broca’s
(expressive) aphasia, though it may occur in
isolation, particularly during recovery of a Broca’s (expressive)
aphasia. Anomia may occur with a variety of lesions, including
dominant hemisphere posterior inferior frontal gyrus and temporal
lesions. It has also been reported to occur in angular gyrus
syndrome, due to lesions of the dominant angular gyrus, in
association with Gertsmann’s syndrome

Question 71

syndrome of alexia without agraphia, or

pure word blindness

Answer 71

syndrome of alexia without agraphia, or
pure word blindness. Alexia is a loss of reading comprehension
despite normal visual acuity. Ability to read individual letters of a
word is often retained. Writing and language comprehension are
normal in alexia without agraphia. It is a disconnection syndrome,
due to lesions in the dominant (usually left) posterior cerebral
artery territory, commonly involving the medial and inferior
occipitotemporal region and splenium of the corpus callosum. The
patient has a contralateral (usually right) homonymous
hemianopia. While the ipsilateral visual field is intact, words that
are seen cannot be effectively read, as the lesion in the splenium of
the corpus callosum prevents them from being transmitted to
Broca’s area.

Question 72

Apraxia, macam

Answer 72

Apraxia is characterized by an impaired ability to execute a
previously known task, in the absence of motor weakness,
incoordination, or a deficit in comprehension.
Macam :
1. Ideomotor apraxia
2. Conductional apraxia
3. Ideational apraxia
4. Conceptual apraxia
5. Disassociation apraxia

Question 73

Ideomotor apraxia, klinis Dan topis

Answer 73

ideomotor apraxia, which is suggested by use of a body part as an
object during pantomime, as well as the unusual movements and
postures. Patients with ideomotor apraxia understand the
movement that they are supposed to execute, and achieve the
general, overall movement, but exhibit abnormal postures and
spatial errors. Ideomotor apraxia is seen with lesions in the
dominant parietal cortex, in or around the area of the superior
marginal and angular gyrus

Question 74

Conduction apraxia

Answer 74

The dominant feature of conduction apraxia is impairment in
imitation of movements. The localization of conduction apraxia is
not well defined

Question 75

Ideational apraxia

Answer 75

Ideational apraxia is characterized by impairment in the
sequence of motions needed to carry out a specific movement.
When asked to pantomime pouring a glass of water and drinking
from it, patients with ideational apraxia will, for example, drink
from the cup before pouring water into it. Ideational apraxia is
seen in patients with bifrontal or biparietal dysfunction, as occurs
in neurodegenerative disorders.

Question 76

Dissociation apraxia

Answer 76

Disassociation apraxia is characterized by inability to execute a
movement on command, but with normal ability to imitate. It has
most commonly been reported to occur in the left hand in left
