Blood Flow Occlusions/ Lesions Flashcards
What can middle cerebral aa (cortical br) occlusion cause (4)
- CL paralysis of lower face (lower face gets CL inn) + tongue
- CL paralysis of UL (precentral)
- CL anesthesia of face, neck UL and trunk (post central gyrus)
- Global or receptive aphasia (brocas, wenickes)
What can a ant cerberal aa occlusion (collomarginal occlusion) cause (3)
- CL paralysis of the LL and perineum (precentral)
- Cl anesthesia of LL (postcentral)
- Mental confusion (prefrontal cortex)
What can a posterior cerebreal aa occlusion cause (calcimine aa)- (4)
- Hemianopia of CL visual fields of both eyes
- Amnesia (mem loss)
- Alexia (inability to read)
- Prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces
Middle cerebreal aa occlusion (lensticulostriate aa) causes (5)
- CL paralysis of neck, UL, trunk and LL (int cap)
- CL anesthesia of the neck, UL, trunk and LL (int cap)
- Hemianopia of CL visual fields of both eyes (aa supplies geniculocalcarine axon bundles)
- Supreanuclear facial n palsy (genu)
- Supranuclear hypoglossal n palsy (CL)
Midbrian periaqueductal grey matter tumour (3)
- occulomotor n palsy/trochlear n palsy
- Abscent light reflex
- Vertical gaze palsy
Midbrane Post cerebral aa (benedikt syndrome) (3)
- CL hemianethesia (medial/spinal lemniscus)
- IL CN 3 palsy
- Tremor/involuntary movement CL (red nucleus)
Weber syndrome (4)
- CL paralysis of the face (lower part)
- CL paralysis of tongue
- CL paralysis of body (corticospinal)
- IL CN 3 palsy
Basilar aa occlusion (pontine br) (3/4)
- IL LMN facial nerve palsy (full half face)
- IL paralysis of lat rectus (abducens n)
- CL hemiperiesis (med lemniscus)
- IF trapazoind body affected- partial BL deafness
When is the only case that there would be total BL deafness
If cochlear nuclei was impaired bilaterally
Post spinal aa occlusion
Sensory ataxia
Lat medullary syndrome is caused by what
PICA occlusion
Lat medulalry syndrome (7)
- Vertigo (vestibular nuc)
- Nystagmus (MLF)
- IL paralysis of soft palate, pharynx + vocal cord (ambigous nuc)
- CL loss of pain/themal (spinal lem)
- IL loss of pain/thermal of face (spinal nuc of trigemincal)
- IL horners
- Incoordination of movement (inf cerebellar peduncle)
med medullar syndrome is caused by
Vert aa occlusion
Medial medullary syndrome (3)
- CL hemiplegia (pyramidal)
- CL loss of fine touch, vib, prop (med lemniscus)
- IL hypoglossal palsy (LMN)
What would basillar aa occlusion cause and what would not be affected
locked in syndrome
-Occulomotor/trochlear n not affected
