Q

What would labyrinthe aa occlusion cause

A

Supplies vestibulocochlear

  • IL deafness
  • Vertigo with tendency to fall towards side of prob
17
Q

What does poliomyelitis affect and cause

A

Destruction of ventral horn

-LMN flaccid paralysis and mm atrophy in the respective myotomes

18
Q

What is ALS caused by

A

UMN sydrome with random dymelenation in Lat corticospinal tracks which will eventually cause LMN syndrome by affecting ventral horns

19
Q

What does syringomyeliaaffect and what does it cause

A

Cystic enlargement of central canal (affecting ant decussion)

  • BIlateral loss of pain + temp in 1/2 dermatomes (cape pattern)
20
Q

Central cord syndrome and what is spared

A
  • BL loss of pain temp crude touch below level of lesion w lumbosacral sparing
  • BL LMN syndrome/flaccid paralysis in segment of lesion
  • BL UMN spastic paralysis below level of lesion w sacral sparing
21
Q

Ant spinal aa occlusion (3)

A
  • BL loss of pain, temp, crude touch (loss of antlat system)
  • BL LMN sdr/flacid paralysis @ lvl of lesion (ventral horns)
  • BL UMN spastic paralysis below lvl of lesion
22
Q

Spinal cord hemisection (5)

A
  1. IL anethesia in segemt (dorsal horn)
