Q
Which of the following is least suggestive of a parietal lobe lesion?
A. astereognosis
B. loss of position sense
C. loss of temperature sensation
D. loss of two-point discrimination
E. atopognosia
A

C. loss of temperature sensation
V&A pp. 483-487. Parietal lobe lesions are characterized by loss of positionsense, impaired ability to localize touch and pain stimuli (atopognosia),astereognosis, and impairment of two-point discrimination. Perception ofpain, touch, pressure, vibratory, and thermal stimuli is relatively intact.

Q

Failure of a miotic pupil to dilate after instilling 2 to 10% cocaine followed by1% hydroxyamphetamine indicates a
A. first-order Horner’s syndrome
B. second-order Horner’s syndrome
C. third-order Horner’s syndrome
D. first- or second-order Horner’s syndrome
E. second- or third-order Horner’s syndrome

A

C. third-order Horner’s syndrome
V&A pp. 298-299. Horner’s syndrome can be confirmed by the failure of themiotic pupil to dilate in response to 2 to 10% cocaine drops. If the later applicationof the adrenergic mydriatic hydroxyamphetamine has no effect,then the lesion localizes to the third-order neuron (p ostganglionic part). A first- or second-order lesion is indicated by a failure of the miotic pupilto dilate to cocaine drops, followed by dilation (after 24 hours) with 1%hydroxyamphetamine.

Wernicke’s aphasia
A. good comprehension, fluent speech, poor repetition
B. good comprehension, nonfluent speech, good repetition
C. good comprehension, nonfluent speech, poor repetition

A

E. poor comprehension, fluent speech, poor repetition
For questions 203-208 see V&A pp. 505-514. Conduction aphasia is similarto Wernicke’s aphasia in that there is a fluent paraphasic speech withimpaired repetition. In contrast to patients with Wernicke’s aphasia, however,those with conduction aphasia have little or no difficulty in comprehension.The transcortical aphasias are characterized by good repetition.

For questions 209-215 see V&A pp. 1482-1487. Both idiopathic polymyositis(PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are more common in women. About 9% ofpatients with PM and 15% of those with DM have an underlying carcinoma.Single-fiber necrosis is seen in PM, whereas a perifascicular muscle fiberdegeneration and atrophy are seen in DM. IgG, IgM, complement, and membraneattack complexes are deposited in the small vessels in DM, whereas inPM the endomysial inflammatory exudate contains a large number of T cellsand few B+cells. Both disorders are readily responsive to corticosteroids andother immunosuppressants.
