Q

Brainstem lesions have what kind of signs?

A

looking for alternating signs!!!

Q

Localization of lesions

A
  • you get a mixture of long tract signs and cranial nerve signs when there is a lesion in the brainstem
  • the motor signs were the most useful in localizing lesions (this is coming from the pons, medulla)

Q

What is the major blood supply the brain?

A

vertebral artery that comes off of the subclavian

it ascends through the transverse foramen of the first 6 cervical vertebrae

when you reach C1 right and left vertebral arteries come together to form the basilar artery

Q

What is the major source of clots in the brain?

A

comes after a heart attack

note: thrombi from the heart seldom form vertebral emboli because of the angle at which the artery is given off

Q

What are the arteries supplying the medulla?

A
  • beginning of medulla from spinal cord is the anterior spinal artery
  • if we go higher to the beginning of the medulla, the anterior spinal is still supplying the closed medulla

a midline infarct ??????will affect pyramids and medial lemnisus

vertebral arteries give branches to the inferior olivary nucleus????

17
Q

When there is lesion between the open and closed medulla?

A

hypoglossal nerve parlaysis along with the pyramids and medial lemniscus

18
Q

If there is a lesion at the pontomeduallry junction involving AICA, what are symptoms?

A

dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei are affected

-diminished hearing (loss of hearing)

19
Q

What is the medial medullary syndrome?

A

anterior spinal
medial branches of the verterbal artery
-paralysis of the tongue: fibers of CN XII as you go through the tongue

long tracts:

  • Medial lemniscus: contralteral hemisensory
  • corticospinal tract: contralateral hemiparesis loss
  • MLF
20
Q

paramedian

branches

A

spend more time on brain stem to identify these structures

roots of the abducens nerve 
facial nerve (more of a dorsolateral lesion)

???

21
Q

????

A

CB did not label

medial lemniscus

22
Q

What are the fibers affected in the medial pontine syndrome?

A

fibers of CN VI and VII if the lesion extends laterally

Long Tracts and Nuclei

- Medial Lemniscus
- Corticospinal Tract
- MLF (if lesion extends dorsally)
- Corticobulbar Tract (one going to the hypoglossal nucleus and the other to the nucleus ambiguus)
- Corticopontine Fibers and Pontine Nuclei

23
Q

What is P1 and what territory does it supply?

A

Proximal Posterior Cerebral (P1)
End of Basilar

  • red nucleus: major cerebellar structure( dendate and???)
  • superior cerebellar peduncle

-medial lemniscus is too lateral to be in this area

???

24
Q

P2 is after posterior communicating

A

???

A

is the hemiataxia

Q

Bilateral locked-in syndrome
(pseudocoma or
Monte Cristo syndrome)

  • corticobulbar

(rare).

A

supplies the midbrain as well as the thalamus

33
Q

Underneath is CN III?????

A

oculomotor nerve symptoms due to the hemorrhage

34

vertebral terminates as the basialer; is also tortuous and gives off branches

A

supplies the 1/3/ of the medulla??????
