Describe spina bifida as it relates to bone.

A

A regular vertebra has 3 main processes

  1. Transverse
  2. Process B (Dont need to know)
  3. Spinous Process

The spinous process is formed during fusion. Failure of the caudal neuropore to close does not allow opposing sides of bone around neural tube to close

Hence the name “split spine”

Q

What is the Transposition of the Great Arteries?

A

TGA is when neural crest cells reach the aortic arches and form the aortico-pulmonary septum, divide the pulmonary trunk and aorta BUT FAIL to create the spiral pattern

This means, deoxygenated blood can travel back to the HEART but it won’t oxygenate it and rather, pump it right back out to the body.

This also means that the side of the heart that just got oxygenated blood from the lungs will pump it right back into the lungs

  1. Deoxygenated blood into heart and right back out to body
  2. Oxygenated blood from lungs into heart and right back into lungs

BIG Picture: Oxygenated blood is sequestered to heart

Q

Yes! Surgery, they will have to reroute your system to where the aorta is coming from left ventricle and pulmonary trunk is coming off right.

They can also poke a hole through the right and left atrium as a temporary fix to allow oxygenated blood into the right ventricle so it can be pushed out to the body.

What is the pineal gland?

A

The important part of the epithalamus that is formed from an epithelial thickening at the caudal end of the diencephalon

105
Q

The pineal gland can accumulate _______.

A

Calcium

This helps it show up in the x-ray as a BRIGHT white spot.

106
Q

Where is the hypothalamus ?

A
  1. Locate the thalamus. It should be in the center of a sagittal view under a bright white marker.
  2. The hypothalamus will be directly below that.
107
Q

Where is the pituitary gland?

A

BELOW the hypothalamus attached by a stalk.

108
Q

The pituitary gland sits in a ______ called _______ which is a depression in the ________.

A

The pituitary gland sits in a bony fossa called stella turcica which is a depression in the sphenoid bone.

109
Q

The pituitary gland has ______ lobes. What are they and their respective names?

A

2

Anterior Lobe: Adenohyophysis

Posterior Lobe: Neurohypophysis

110
Q

Which pituitary lobe is more glandular?

A

Anterior

Adenohyophysis

111
Q

The pituitary gland develops from _________

Which lobe does it form?

Describe the rest of pituitary gland development.

A

the ectoderm that has curved over the 1st pharyngeal arch.

It will ascend to the future anterior lobe of our pituitary.

The hypothalamus will have down growth which will interact with the anterior lobe. The components are initially hollow but eventually grow to fill the space.

112
Q

The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland develops from the oral _______. The posterior lobe is derived from ______ from _____

A

ectoderm

neuroectoderm from hypothalamus

113
Q

What is Raffey’s Pouch?

A

Oral ectoderm that acends to form the anterior lobe

114
Q

How does the oral ectoderm ascend to the _______?

A

Stella turcica

The anterior sphenoid bone and posterior sphenoid bone have not yet fused to each other which allows it to squeeze to the gap into the stella turica

115
Q

Pharyngeal Hypothesis

A

Left over pituitary gland in roof of mouth

Macroadenoma

116
Q

What can macroadenoma cause?

A

Pushing on Cranial Nerve II - VISION

It will push between the optic chiasm between R and L Cranial Nerves

117
Q

How can pituitary tumors be removed?

A

Surgeon can enter through the nasal or oral cavity and hit a piece of bone at the posterior aspect of the pharynx and enter the sphenoid sinus.

This spot is INFERIOR to the stella turcica and can suck up the adenoma.

118
Q

Is the trans-sphenoidal approach to the the pituitary gland for tumor touching brain tissue?

A

NO!
