41
Q

Watershed strokes

-describe

A

Watershed strokes occur from poor perfusion of regions that are susceptible to low flow states – the areas of irrigation between typical vascular territories.

Vascular insufficiency within arterial borderzones produces borderzone infarcts (aka watershed strokes).

Patients with a watershed stroke between the anterior cerebral artery ACA and middle cerebral artery MCA develop weakness of their proximal arms and legs with preservation of hand and feet strength – they act like a “man in a barrel.”

From an anatomical perspective, the ACA supplies the medial one third of the superior cerebrum and the MCA supplies the lateral two thirds; the superior frontal sulcus separates the MCA and ACA supply.

The somatotopic sensorimotor area that corresponds to the borderzone between the MCA and ACA encodes the proximal arms and legs.

-Anterior cerebral artery

location, potential anastomose, incidence of aneurysm, penetrating branches, communicating artery, cortical branches

A
48
Q

80% of ischemic strokes happen in what area

A

-basal ganglia, internal capsule basal ganglia

49
Q

Cortical distribution of ACA

-occlusion may lead to

A

The cortical branches of the ACA supply the anterior 2/3 of the medial side and
supero-lateral portion of the hemisphere. Branches of the ACA frequently supply the paracentral lobule region, and, therefore, occlusions may result in contralateral paresis and/or paraesthesia of the leg and foot.

50
Q

MCA:

  • continuation of what
  • percent of aneurysms
  • penetrating branches
  • cortical branches (5)
A
51
Q

Broca’s aphasia

-result of thrombosis of what?

A

MCA, likely frontal branch

Thrombosis results in expressive or Broca’s aphasia, a motor language disorder characterized by cryptic, telegraphic speech with a frustrating problem in initiation of speech motor patterns. Certain automatic, sometimes profane, speech patterns may persist. Evidence also suggests that “pure” Broca aphasic patients may demonstrate a subtle impairment of linguistic comprehension of certain complex speech patterns.

52
Q

Wernicke’s aphasia:

  • what is it
  • obstruction where
A

obstruction of MCA in dominant hemisphere

Obstruction of this artery in the dominant hemisphere may result in Wernicke’s aphasia, a receptive language disorder. Although patients with Wernicke’s aphasia are quite fluent (talkative), they lack content or meaning in their spoken and written comprehension of language. Their language pattern tends to circumlocute with numerous inappropriate word choices and neologisms (new word creations).

53
Q

Posterior circulation:

Vertebral Artery

  • ASpA location, supplies what
  • what is central cord syndrome
A
54
Q

Posterior spinal arteries:

  • can be branches of what?
  • course?
  • supply?
A

The two posterior spinal arteries may be branches of either the vertebral or posterior inferior cerebellar arteries. They course in the postero-lateral sulci of each side, and supply the dorsal roots and about 75% of the posterior columns. These arteries along with the radicular arteries supply the peripheral margins of the cord. Anterior and posterior radicular arteries course with the ventral and dorsal rootlets, respectively. Segmental medullary arteries supply the spinal cord via small anterior and posterior radicular branches of the
ascending cervical, intercostal, and lumbar arteries.

55
Q

Great anterior artery of adamkiewicz

  • where does it arise, what does it contribute to?
  • major supply to what?
  • compromised due to what problems?
A
56
Q

Ischemic necrosis of the spinal cord

A
57
Q

PICA

  • what is it, what does it supply
  • thrombosis results in?
A
  1. Posterior inferior cerebellar artery
    The PICA supplies the posterior inferior portion of the cerebellum, the posterolateral aspect of the medulla, and the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle.
    The posterior spinal arteries may be branches of the PICA or VA. They course in the posterolateral sulci of each side, and supply the dorsal roots and about 75% of the posterior columns. These arteries along with the radicular arteries supply the peripheral margins of the cord.
    Tabes dorsalis or tertiary neurosyphilis may include a meningovascular infection of these
    arteries and their branches with a resultant irritation or destruction of the associated
    neuroanatomical structures.
    Clinically, displacement of the PICA on angiograms of the posterior cranial fossa may indicate the presence of a space-occupying mass such as a tumor. Thrombosis of the PICA results in
    wallenberg syndrome
58
Q

Basilar a

  • termination of what
  • % of aneurysm
  • terminal branch of basilar a
  • obstruction leads to
  • part of circle of willis usually hypoplastic, why is this clinically problematic
A
59
Q

Branches of Basilar A.

  • PCoA located where?
  • what is rostral terminal branch and where does it send its penetrating branches
  • cortical branches of PCA
  • uncal herniation
A

Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) is located immediately posterior to the III
nerve. It supplies the superior lateral portion of the cerebellum, the deep
cerebellar nuclei, and portions of the
pons and midbrain.
5. Anterior inferior cerebellar artery
(AICA) is located in the pontobulbar
sulcus next to the VI, VII and VIII
nerves, and the flocculus. It supplies
the anterior inferior portion of the
cerebellum, the superior and middle
cerebellar peduncles, and part of the
brainstem.
6. The labyrinthine artery, the chief artery to the internal ear, may be a branch of
the AICA or a separate branch of the basilar artery. Atherosclerosis or
inflammation of the labyrinthine artery may irritate the vestibulo-cochlear
apparatus (labyrinthinitis) and result in disturbances of equilibrium and/or
hearing.
7. Paramedian and lateral pontine branches supply the medial and lateral aspects of
the pons, respectively. In cross-sections of the brainstem, these branches
distribute to regions of the brainstem in a “pie wedge” pattern. This pattern of
distribution is the basis for the characteristic pattern of necrosis seen in certain
brainstem lesions.

Venous drainage of the brain:

  • 3 of them
  • what do they drain, where do they empty into
  • thrombosis in which specific part of a sinus results in cortical ischemia/ necrosis
  • thrombosis of what sinus/ part results in necrosis in deep cerebrum, usually death?
A

VI. Venous Drainage of the Brain A. Dural venous sinuses
1. The superior sagittal sinus is a large venous sinus that extends from the crista galli
to the confluens in the area of the attached border of the falx. It drains most of the
cerebral cortex, and in most cases, it empties into the right transverse sinus. Venous
lacunae are adjacent to the sinus and drain into the sinus along with the superior
cerebral veins.
2. The straight sinus is formed at the intersection of the falx and the tentorium. The
great cerebral vein of Galen drains vital deep structures of the cerebrum, and empties
into the straight sinus. Occlusion of either of these vessels is usually fatal. In most
cases the straight sinus drains into the left transverse sinus.
3. The confluens receives the superior sagittal, straight and occipital sinuses. It is
usually asymmetrical in its drainage pattern. In two-thirds of the cases the superior
sagittal sinus empties directly into the right transverse sinus, and the straight
sinus drains directly into the left transverse sinus.
Thrombosis of the posterior portion of the superior venous sinus or right transverse venous sinus results in cortical ischemia and/or necrosis.
Thrombosis of the posterior portion of the straight venous sinus or left transverse venous sinus results in ischemia and/or necrosis of structures in the deep cerebrum. This is usually fatal.
