  • Warinke (@ Left hemisphere of temporal)
    Werinke aphasia
  • Temporal & parietal lobe( is the ath optic N follow)
    Damage to the optic radiation causing contral lateral loss in the visual field. homonymous hemianopia, is a visual field loss in the same halves of the visual field of each eye. For example, in right HH, the visual field loss is on the right side in the right eye and on the right side in the left eye

Q

Whats watershed syndrome & what can cause it?

A

Hypovolumia
A watershed strokeoccurs when the blood flow to parts of the brain, known as border zones, is severely reduced, leading to brain tissue death. The border zones are vulnerable because they are situated furthest away from the three major arteries that service the brain.

Q

The gold standard to check for the location of sub arachnoid hemorrhage is

A

Digital subtraction angiogram

32
Q

In transient ischemic attack how do you managed it using risk calculation

A

A- >60 year old
B- >140/90
C- >clinical features (Aphasia= 1, any other defisite= +2
D- >60 = +2, <60 min = +1
DM- >+1

33
Q

Treatment of AIS?

A

TPA : For <3 hrs of normal activity
Thromdectomy >6 hr of normal activities

An IV injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is the gold standard treatment for ischemic stroke.

Its primary function includescatalyzing the conversion ofplasminogento plasmin, the primary enzyme involved in dissolving blood clots.

35
Q

Note: in a patient with worsening clinical features of stroke per hr it should be directly considered a Acute Ischemic Attack/Stroke even if the brain scan is looking normal

A
36
Q

How do you manage a TIA?
