Skin/MS Pathology Flashcards
Trendelenberg sign
dropping of the lifted legs hip
Due to paralysis of the abductors of gluteus medius and gluteus minimus-> Superior gluteal invervation
Foot drop
Peroneal nerve damaged
dorsiflexes and everts the foot
PED
Can’t stand on tip toes
Tibial nerve damage
inverts and plantaflexes the foot
TIP
Thigh adduction innervated
- anterior hip dislocation
(4 muscles)
Obturator
adductor longu, adductor, brevis, anterior portion of adductus magnus, gracilis
Thigh flexion and leg extension nerve
Femoral
worry in pelvic fracture
Knee trauma worry about this nerve
Can
tibial
posterior hip dislocation and can’t jump
nerve and muscle
inferior gluteal enervating the gluteus maximus
pathology due to activating mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3)
Achrondroplasia - dwarfism
Achodroplasia
imparied cartilage proliferation in the growth plate
Dwarfism
Endochondrial bone formation
formation of bone via cartilage matrix which is replaced -> implicated in achondroplasia
Intramembranous bone fomration
formation of long bone w/out preexisting cartilage matrix - > flat bone formation (Skull and rib cage) thus why normal head in dwarfism
3 signs of osteogenesis imperfecta
multiple fractures (thinking child abuse)
Blue sclera
hearing loss
Thinning scleral collagen revealing choroidal veins
Defect in?
Blue sclera - in osteogenesis imperfecta
thing Autosomal defect in collagen type 1
Osteopetrosis is what and due to what?
inhereted defect in bone resorption -> abnormally thick and heavy bone
due to poor osteoclast activity - like carbonic anhydrase II mutations
Carbonic anydrase II mutatio nleads to
Osteopetrosis
can’t make acidic environment to resorb bone - osteoclasts do not work as well
Renal tubular acidosis w/ bone fractures is connected how?
lack of carbonicanhydrase II activity - osteopetrosis
- Normal enzyme activity leads to pumping of H in the lumen of tubules as NH4 and bicarb in the serum, lack of enzyme -> acidosis
myelopththisic process due to?
What causes?
Bone fractures
vision and hearing impairment
hydrocephalus
bone thickens out the marrow region leading o anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, as sen in osteoporosis
hearing and vision loss w/ nerve impingement
hydrocephalus w/ foramen magnum oclusion
Rx for psteopetrosis works how?
give bone marrow transplant so you have new source for monocyte derived osteoclasts
Defective mineralization of osteoid is called ?
Due to ?
rickets/ osteomalacia
due to VIt D deficiency, osteoblasts make osteoid but not mineralized
Active Vit D does what?
3 things
raises serum Ca and phosphate levels by acting on
intestine - increase absorb of Ca and phos
kidney - increase resorb of Ca and phos
bone - increase resorb of Ca and phos
1 alpha hydroxilation occur where after what>
in the proximal tubule of the kidney after 25 hydroxylation of Vit D
Frontal bossing, pigeon breast deformity, archaic rosary and what other symptom cause ?
What age group
Rickets in kids less than one
Usually also see bowed legs
Frontal bossing - large forehead
pigeon breast - inward bending of the ribs w/ anterior protrusion
rachitic rosary - ostoid deposition at chostochondral angle
low serum Ca and phos w/ increased PTH and alk phos seen in ?
Osteomalacia
Most common forms of osteoporosis (2)
senile - old age leads to loss of bone mass naturally w/out exercise or diet
postmenopause - lose of estrogen
