Q

NT defects - cause, dx?

Q

no forebrain, open calvarium, assoc with maternal T1DM?

A

anencephaly
increased AFP, polyhydramnios (no swallowing)
** give folate to decrease risk

17
Q

range of presentations from cleft lip/palate –> cyclopia?

A

holoprosencephaly
failure of L/R hemispheres to separate - weeks 5-6
related to SHH mutations
Patau, fetal alcohol

18
Q

herniation of cerebellar tonsils and vermis through foramen magnum?

A

Chiari II malformation
get aqueductal stenosis and hydrocephalus
often presents with lumbosacral emningomyelocele, paralysis below defect

19
Q

agenesis of cerebellar vermis, enlarged 4th ventricle?

A

Dandy-Walker malformation

associated with hydrocephalus, spina bifida

20
Q

capelike B/L loss of pain and temperature, fine touch preserved?

A

syringomyelia
most common C8-T1
assoc with Chiari malformations, trauma, tumors

21
Q

cerebellar tonsillar ectopia >3-5 mm, H/A, cerebellar symptoms?

A

Chiari II malformation
congenital
usually asx in childhood

22
Q

which branchial arches contribute to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

A

1 and 2

–> sensation = CN V3, taste = CN VII

23
Q

which branchial arches contribute to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue?

A

3 and 4

–> sensation and taste CN IX; far posterior = CN X

24
Q

motor innervation of tongue?

A

CN XII –> hyoglossus, genioglossus, styloglossus

CN X –> palatoglossus
