Déviation des yeux lors d’une masse a/n cortex, tronc cérébral et convulsion

A

Forced deviation of the eyes, usually in the horizontal plane, may indicate an ipsilateral hemispheric or contralateral pontine lesion. Seizures can also cause horizontal eye deviation, typically away from the cerebral lobe containing the seizure focus.

Q

Décrire le “hints” test

A

The first part of HINTS is the head impulse test and as described earlier, a corrective saccade indicates a positive test and is more reassuring for vestibular neuritis. The second part (nystagmus) refers to a direction change of nystagmus on eccentric gaze. For example, when the patient looks to the left, the fast component beats to the left; and when the patient looks to the right, the fast component beats to the right. This direction-changing nystagmus may indicate a stroke in a patient with acute vestibular syndrome. The third part (test of skew) refers to vertical ocular misalignment during alternate cover testing and its presence is suggestive of brainstem strokes

or

Nicardipine infusion, 5 mg/hr; titrate up by 2.5 mg/hr at 5- to 15-minute intervals, maximum dose 15 mg/hr; when desired BP attained, reduce to 3 mg/hr

Other agents (hydralazine, enalaprilat, and so on) may be considered when appropriate.

If BP does not decline and remains >185/110 mm Hg, do not administer rtPA.

●Vitamin K as adjunctive therapy for patients on warfarin prior to alteplase treatment

●Six to eight units of platelets for patients with thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100,000/microL)

●In patients receiving unfractionated heparin (UFH) for any reason, it is reasonable to treat with 1 mg of protamine for every 100 units of UFH given in the preceding 4 hours

A

The most common features on physical examination are lower limb hyperreflexia, weakness and wasting in the hands and arms, dissociated sensory loss, and gait disorder. The classic pattern of sensory deficit involves a loss of pain and temperature sensation in the upper extremities with preservation of proprioception and light touch

The sensory deficit often is described as being in a “capelike” distribution over the shoulders and arms. The anatomic basis for the neurologic features of a syrinx is the location near the central canal.

A
78
Q

Pourquoi note-on une faiblesse avec stimulation répétée lors d’atteinte de la jonction neuromusculaire?

A

Botulisme: diminution de la libération d’acétylcholine

Myasthénie grave: blocage des récepteurs nicotiniques

Intoxication organophosphates:inactivation de l’acétylcholine par liaison irréversible

Repeated stimulation leads to diminishing motor strength, which is caused by one of three mechanisms: blockage of the receptors, as in myasthenia gravis; decrease in the amount of ACh released, as in botulism; or inactivation of ACh by irreversible binding, as in organophosphate poisoning.

79
Q

Décrire la pathophysiologie du syndrome myasthénique de Lambert-eaton

A

Environ 90% des patients possèdent des anticorps pathogéniques dirigés contre les canaux calciques voltage-dépendants (CCVD) de type P/Q. Le dysfonctionnement et la diminution du nombre de ces canaux inhibe la libération de l’acétylcholine des terminaisons présynaptiques, ce qui conduit à une altération de la transmission neuromusculaire et à une faiblesse musculaire.

In the case of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, weakness is more pronounced at the beginning of muscle use and improves with repeated use as more ACh builds up in the synaptic cleft with each stimulation.

Q

Décrire 2 tests pouvant être réalisés au chevet pour préciser le dx de la myasthénie grave

A

The edrophonium test and ice bag test are performed at the bedside for patients with suspected myasthenia gravis and ptosis. The results based on the effect of the intervention on the ptosis. Edrophonium is a short-acting acetylcholinesterase-blocking agent that produces an increase of ACh in the synaptic cleft and a reduction in ptosis after intravenous (IV) administration. With the ice bag test, cooling decreases symptoms in myasthenia gravis, whereas heat exacerbates symptoms. In both tests, the amount of ptosis is measured before and after administration of edrophonium or application of an ice bag. The distance from the upper to the lower eyelid in the most severely affected eye is measured first. If edrophonium is given, an IV test dose of 1 to 2 mg is given first because some patients have a severe reaction. If no adverse reaction is found and the patient does not dramatically improve in 30 to 90 seconds, a second dose of 3 mg is given. If there is still no response, a final dose of 5 mg is given for a total maximum dose of 10 mg. Atropine should be available at the bedside during the test. Because of the potential for cholinergic-induced increased airway secretions, this test should be used with caution in asthmatics and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. If the ice bag test is used, an ice pack is applied to the affected eye for approximately 2 minutes. An improvement in the amount of ptosis of at least 2 mm is considered positive.

Q

Décrire la physiopathologie du botulisme et sa présentation clinique

A

LA toxine se lit de facon irréversible à la membrane pré-synaptique et inhibe la libération d’acétylcholine

The botulinum toxin blocks both voluntary motor and autonomic functions. There is no pain or sensory deficit. The onset of symptoms is 6 to 48 hours after the ingestion of tainted food. Symptoms of gastroenteritis may or may not be present. The classic feature of botulism is a descending, symmetrical, flaccid paralysis. Cranial nerves and bulbar muscles are affected first, causing diplopia, dysarthria, and dysphagia, followed later by generalized weakness. Because the toxin decreases cholinergic output, anticholinergic signs may be present: constipation, urinary retention, dry skin and eyes, and increased temperature and dilated, non-reactive pupils. This can help differentiate botulism toxicity from myasthenia gravis. Deep tendon reflexes are normal or diminished.

86
Q

Pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas donner de miel à un enfant de moins d’un an?

A

Infantile botulism results from the ingestion of C. botulinum spores that are able to germinate and produce toxin in the high pH of the gastrointestinal tract of infants. Botulism spores can survive in honey, so it is recommended that honey not be fed to infants.

Antibioprophylaxie en cas de contact avec méningite

A

Among household contacts, the incidence of transmission of meningococcus is approximately 5%; therefore, we recommend that household contacts of bacteriologically confirmed cases receive rifampin (adults, 600 mg; children older than 1 month, 10 mg/kg; children younger than 1 month, 5 mg/kg) orally every 12 hours for a total of four doses. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg by mouth (adults only) and ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscularly (125 mg intramuscularly for children younger than 15 years old) provide single-dose alternatives.
