NSGY and Ortho Flashcards
neurapraxia
no axonal injury; temporary loss of function
axonotmesis
disrupt axon, not sheath; will improve
neurotmesis
disrupt axon and sheath; might need OR
growth of nerve
1mm/day
salutatory conduction
nodes of ranvier in nerve
regulation of ADH
hyperosmolar serum causes supraoptic nucleus of hypothalamus to release in posterior pitutary gland
when to operate on subdural vs epidural
subdural 1cm
epidural 0.5 cm
MC intracerebral hematoma
temporal lobe ; drain only if focal deficits
Cushings triad
- HTN
- brady
- low RR
spinal shock level
above T6
anterior spinal cord syndrome
injury to anterior spinal artery
(vert body burst fx, aortic problem, ruptured disc)
b/l loss MOTOR, PAIN, TEMPERATURE below lesion
proprioception and light touch are FINE.
Borwn Sequard syndrome
hemisection
(penetrating injury)
loss of IPSILATERAL MOTOR and CONTRALATERAL PAIN/TEMP below lesion
central cord syndrome
(hyperextension of spine, old people with sponylosis)
*MC MC MC spinal cord injury**
b/l loss ofUPPER EXTREMITY MOTOR, PAIN, TEMPERATURE
cauda equina
LOWER EXTREMITY pain and weakness due to compression of lumbar nerve roots, loss rectal tone, perineal saddle asnethesia, distended bladder
mgmt: decompression emergently.
spinothalamic
pain temp DORSAL
corticospinal/rubrospinal tract
motor VENTRAL
dorsal vs ventral nerve roots
dorsal: AFFERENT
ventral: MOTOR
MC brain tumor
glioma (esp glioma multiforme)
meninigioma mgmt
resect
MC met to brain
lung
MC children brain tumor
medulloblastoma
MC metastatic brain tumor in children
neuroblastoma
acoustic neuroma origin
8th CN at cerebellopontine angle (vetigo, hearing loss)
mgmt; resect
MC spinal tumor
neurofibroma
intradural tumor vs extradural malignant potential
extradural is most likely malignant
paraganglionoma
check for metanpehrines
intraventricular hemorrhage = subependymal
premies rupture GERMINAL MATRIX
mgmt: drain
myelomeninigocele
neural cord defect esp LUMBAR
spinal cord and nerve roots herniate through!
wernicke’s location
temporal; left; speech comprehension
brocas location
posterior frontal; speech motor
brain abscess drainage indication
2.5cm (otherwise just ABx)
