Neuroanatomy Afifi Flashcards
Structure that connects the cerebellum to the midbrain
Brachium conjunctivum
Structure that connects the medulla oblongata to the cerebellum
Restiform body
True or false: the area postrema lacks a blood brain barrier
True
syndrome that involves
hypoglossal, cranial accessory, vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves
and contralateral hemiparesis
Jackson’s syndrome
Syndrome that involves
hypoglossal (11)
vagus (10)
and glossopharyngeal (9) nerves
Tapia’s syndrome
eponym for the recurrent laryngeal nerve
Galen’s Nerve
The spinal root of the accessory nerve enters the cranial cavity via the ________________(1) and exits through the _________________(2).
(1) foramen magnum
(2) Jugular foramen
This nerve innervates the carotid body and carotid sinus. (1)
It is a branch of this nerve (2)
(1) carotid sinus nerve
(2) glossopharyngeal nerve/ CN IX
(1) this disease is characterized by paroxysms of severe pain in the throat, posterior tongue and ear triggered by swallowing or tongue movements. It is caused by a lesion in the glossopharyngeal nerve
(2) other name (syndrome)
(1) Glossopharyngeal neuralgia
(2) Reichert Syndrome
This syndrome consists of loss of taste in the posterior 3rd of the tongue
paralysis of vocal cords and palate,
weakness of SCM and trapezius muscle
hemianesthesia of the palate, tongue and pharyngeal wall
all IPSILATERAL to the Lesion
Collet Sicard syndrome
associated with unilateral extra axial injury of the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerve
This syndrome manifests as
ipsilateral horners syndrome
ipsilateral weakness of the soft palate, larynx, pharynx, tongue
loss of taste sensation in the posterior 3rd of the tongue
cerebellar ataxia, nystagmus
contralateral hemiparesis and hemianesthesia
Babinski-Nageotte Syndrome
aka medullary tegmental paralysis
combined lateral and medial medullary syndrome
This is the major source of the widespread noradrenergic innervation to mos central nervous system regions.
