Q

insomnia drugs MOA

A

Ramelteon - melatonin R agonist
Zolpidem - GABAergic
Trazodone - 5-HT2 antagonist

Suvorexant - inhibits Orexin R - suppresses wakefulness promoted by Orexin -

Orexin,( hypocretin)-narcolepsy type 1 + cataplexy- no orexin, low orexin in CSF (autoimmune attacking orexin neurons)

(Modafinil - blocks DA transport, neurostimulant)

Q

infective endocarditis

A

ischemic stroke most common neuro complication

-mycotic aneurysms: distal arterial
-mechanical valves more complications vs bioprosthetic valves; equal complications with native valve
L sided endocarditis more neuro complications

-less common: secondary hemorrhagic, SAH, abscesses, meningoencephalitis

A

Ischemic stroke more common than hemorrhagic; more common in kids than adults

17
Q

Plasma cell dyscrasias

A

-Waldenstrom
-MGUS - M monoclonal spike - myelin associated glycoprotein MAG - even if no MM-demyelinating neuropathy
-MM
-Plasmacytomas
-Amyloidosis

Can get POEMS syndrome
-encephalopathy -hypercalcemia, hyperviscosity (IG)
-infection
-paraneoplastic +
-infiltrative neuropathy (amyloid) -sensorimotor axonal neuropathy

-cryoglobulinemia - neuropathy, rare mononeuritis; cerebral vasculitis-stroke
type I - IgM - MM, Waldenstrom
type II-polyclonal IgM, IgG - lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, Hep C
type III - IgM, IgG, infections, autoimmune disorders

18
Q

ITP vs TTP vs DIC

A

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura - seizure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, low plt, encephalopathy, renal dysfxn
-schistocytes, decreased plt NORMAL coags ;
Tx: plasma exchange

HUS - E coli, Shigella - ab pain, diarrhea in kids ->seizures, encephalopathy, CN palsy

DIC - fibrinogen reduced, D dimer elevated, abnormal PT/PTT

ITP - no neuro manifestations - no schistocytes

19
Q

hepatic encephalopathy

A

serum ammonia can be normal
-low protein diet, reduced ammonia
- from colon via lactulose
-TIPS increases risks
path: Alzheimer type II astrocyte

20
Q

Celiac disease/gluten sensitive enteropathy

A

neuro Sx can be only manifestations
-axonal peripheral neuropathy, inalmmatory myopathy
-cerebral calcifications risk seizures
-loss Purkinje cells cerebellum (not reversible)
-no increased malignancy

21
Q

Inflammatory bowel disease

A

venous, arterial thrombosis
cranial neuropathies - CN VII (Melkersson Rosenthal syndrome, tongue fissure+angioedema)
peripheral neuropathy - demyelinating + axonal
malabsorp vit E + B12

22
Q

electrolyte abnormalities

A

seizures - hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia

weakness - hypokalemia (spares bulbar) ; hypocalcemia-tetany, tingling in fingers; hypermagnesemia

encephalopathy - hypercalcemia

23
Q

thyroid disease

A

waxing waning encephalopathy - SREAT-autoimmune thyroiditis - check anti-microsomal Ab

hyperthyroidism - always tremor; can also get parkinsonism, dyskinesia, chorea

thyroid eye disease - restricted upgaze most common
-eyelid retraction - overactivation Muller muscle

hypothyroidism - pseudomyotonia (delay muscle relaxation after reflex)
-entrapment neuropathy
-axonal/demyelinating neuropathy

24
Q

diabetic neuropathy

A

CN - CN III + VI most common
- ipsilateral forehead pain 2/2 ischemia

diabetic amyotrophy -pain, sensory loss then weakness

neuropathy - accumulate sorbitol, fructose; oxidativestress
-early small fiber affected - tingling pain (small fiber neuropathy NCS NORMAL)

25
osteopetrosis vs Paget’s vs achondroplasia vs polychondritis
increased bone mass 2/2 impaired bone resorption by osteoclasts - AD and AR Sx: fracture + facial weakness, hearing/vision loss - CN 2/2 skull thickening - compress nerves - CN I, II, VII, VIII -alk phos elevated vs Paget’s disease - can compress nerves via skull enlargement -Alk phos elevated vs achondroplasia - short stature, developmental delay vs relapsing polychondritis - Cartilage - inflammation, destruction of cartilage - ears, upper airway
26
Sjogrens syndrome
sensory neuronopathy - can affect face/trunk before limbs -Dx - Schirmer test (xerophthalmia), Ro/La
27
systemic vasculitides - small and medium vessel
Necrotizing vasculitis ischemic neuropathy - vasa vasorum -Polyarteritis nodosa - Hep B -painful neuropathy, abdominal pain - mesenteric aneurysms -P-ANCA positive -livedo reticularis, skin ulcerations, nodules -Kawasaki disease - kids - fever, conjunctivitis, coronary artery aneurysms, aseptic meningitis -Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener) - renal disease, sinusitis, pulm -C-ANCA, proteinase-3 Ab -Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss)- asthma, eosinophilia, pulm, sinus Sx -p-ANCA Tx: steroids, cyclophosphamide
28
large vessel vasculitis
Takayasu - subclavian, aorta, cerebral vessels -constitutional Sx, peripheral claudication Giant cell/temporal arteritis - HA, strokes rare
29
Bechet’s disease
-uveitis, lesions, thrombophlebitis, can get cognitive effects late; increase ICP -RARE peripheral nervous system involved Diagnosis: skin pathergy test
30
Hypercoagulability disorders
APLS - Risk CHOREA gravidarum, HA, seizures (RLS-low iron) factor V leiden, antithrombotic II deficiency, protein C/S deficiency, prothrombin polymorphism, hyperhomocysteinemia
31
neurosarcoidosis
-aseptic meningitis with just HA -CN VII most common N affected -low glucose in CSF; increase serum ACE -diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement - base of brain or splenium corpus callosum -intra/extramedullary spine lesions -granulomatous infiltration hypothalamus - > central DI (no ADH)
32
pheochromocytoma
can see in Sturge Weber, TSC, NF, VHL Dx: plasma free metanephrines most sensitive [vs carcinoid syndrome - episode flushing/HA - urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid]
33
Pituitary
vascular supply: ICA (superior, inferior hypophyseal arteries) - capeillary plexus in hypothalamic median emenence -hypophyseal portal vein ->infundibulum/stalk to anterior pituitary anterior - adenohypophysis- Rathke pouch-oropharyngeal membrane - PRL (DA), GH; TSH; FSH, LH; ACTH hypothalamus : GHRH, TRH, gonadotropin release hormone, CRH posterior pituitary - neurohypophysis - neuroectoderm of diencephalon -hypothalamus supraoptic + paraventricular magnocellular neurons - make ADH, oxytocin ->secrete from post pituitary
34
central DI
pituitary resection -> ADH deficiency -hypernatremia - polydipsia, polyuria Dx: desmopressin (ADH analog) ->increase urine osmolality, decrease sodium (vs nephrogenic DI - urine osmolality does not increase in response to desmopressin - risk with lithium) Tx: drinking water, giving desmopressin
35
SIADH vs cerebral salt wasting
CSW - SAH -hypovolemic on exam -high urinary osmolality Tx: fluids (isotonic vs hypertonic), salt supplement SIADH - euvolemic; SAH, head trauma, paraneoplastic -fluid restrict
36
postpartum cerebral angiopathy
-similar to RCVS -> vasospasm -HA normal BP + kidneys Dx: MRI, angio, Doppler US Tx: CCB
