Cerebellum And Cerebellar Pathways Flashcards
The lesion here will have an upbeat, rebound with abnormal kinetic nystagmus effect.
A. Uvula
B. Posterior midline cerebellum
C. Midline cerebellum
C
Downbeat nystagmus is the effect of this lesion. A. Anterior midline cerebellum B. Posterior midline cerebellum C. Midline cerebellum D. Uvula
B
Least evident cerebellar abnormality
A. Ataxia
B. Hypotonia
C. Dysmetria
B
It occurs usually from ethanol or drug intoxication
Pancerebellar syndrome
TN: ALL SYNDROME occurs from TUMOR/STROKE except pancerebellar syndrome
Abnormalities in the rhythm of rapid alternating movements
Adiodochokinesis
Separates 2 lateral lobes of cerebellum
Vermis
Bilateral signs affecting the trunk, limbs and cranial musculature A. Pancerebellar syndrome B. Caudal syndrome C. Rostral vermis syndrome D. Hemispheric syndrome
A
TRUE or FALSE. Hemispheric syndrome:
- Ataxia
- Neoplasms
- Abscesses
- Hypoglycemia
- Infarcts
- Hypothermia
- F
- T
- T
- F
- T
- F
Cerebellar sign per excellence
Ataxia
Narrow, ridge-like folds of cerebellum
Folia
Contralateral lesion (similar to dysarthria from corticospinal disorder
Slurring Dysarthria
Abnormalities in RATE, RANGE and FORCE in movements
Dysmetria
Disturbance of ocular movement will lead to: (TRUE or FALSE)
- Slower smooth pursuit movements
- Ocular flutter
- Opsoclonus
- Circular waves at rest
- Skew deviation
- Inability to hold gaze
- Failure to suppress the vestibulocochlear reflex
- T
- T
- T
- F - square wave
- T
- F - eccentric gaze
- F - vestibulo-ocular reflex
A kind of ataxic tremor that overshoot the target
Hypermetria
Axial disequilibrium A. Pancerebellar syndrome B. Hemispheric syndrome C. Rostral vermis syndrome D. Caudal syndrome
D
