Q

• Right sided weakness, face, arm>leg, sometimes hemisensory deficit
• Conjugate eye deviation to left (cortical sign towards the lesion)
• Expressive aphasia
 Most of us the dominant brain is the left resulting to Broca’s area on the left. The Broca’s area is affected. Broca’s area is for speech expression becoming nonfluent aphasia. This patient have normally intact comprehension but unable to express themselves very well.”

Q

what vessel

Signs & Symptoms:
• Left sided weakness: face, arm > leg
• May have hemisonsory deficit
• Eyes deviate to right
• Neglect
 Neglect different from deficit. Deficit means you loss it, Neglect meaning you don't have it and you cannot pay attendtion to that. In testing the patient's arms separately, they can feel it, but when tested simultaneously the patient neglect left side of the body (extinction)."
• Aprosody
 No emotional part of speech, the way they talk differ from their emotion. They cannot show the anger or happiness in their speech"

Q

this is a microinvasive procedure where you insert the catheter inside the artery and remove the thrombus with the device; we pull the thrombus outside the body.

A

Mechanical thrombectomy

22
Q

for prevention of intracranial atheroscleoitc dse (stenosis)

A

o ASA + Plavix for 3 months then monotherapy
o Statin therapy
“ Ex. Lipitor (Athorvastatin) - continued for life unless contraindication develops
o Risk factors modification, routine exercise, healthy diet and lifestyles

23
Q

prevention of embolic

A

Telemetry, TTE/TEE (Transthoracic Echocardiogram/Transesophageal Echocardiogram)
o Long term cardiac monitor: 30-day Holter, Loop recorder
“ or 30-day cardiac event monitor
“ loop recorder can be longer
“ loop recorders are like small microchip the size of a pinky finger implanted under the skin in the chest; it can stay there for 2-3 years and we can capture atrial fibrillation for longer time.
o Anticoagulant
“ like warfarin

24
Q

Lenticulostriate arteries are from waht artery?

A

Lenticulostriate arteries are from the middle cerebral artery

25
Q

these causes Lacunar strokes

A

PENETRATING ARTERIES: FROM BASILAR ARTERY & PCA

26
Q

pure motor stroke?

A 
• Common Locations
o Internal Capsule
o Corona radiata
“ periventricular white matter
o Basis pontis
27
Q

Symptoms of a pure motor stroke?

A

• Symptoms
o Contralateral hemiplegia/paresis
o Face, arm and leg
“ face arm and leg can be equally affected compared to large vessel stroke
“ because these areas are very tight and they squeeze for example in the internal capsule, corona radiata or the pons
o Dysarthria
“ this is a long localizing sign; many diseases can cause dysarthria
o Dysphagia
“ no aphasia because it is a cortical sign

28
Q

pure sensory stroke?

A

Thalamus

29
Q

symptoms of pure sensory stroke?

A 
• Symptoms:
o Contralateral numbness, tingling
o Thalamic pain syndrome
“ pain that you cannot really describe and very difficult to treat
o Loss of sensation
o Unpleasant sensation
30
Q

mixed sensorimotor stroke?

A

• Location: Thalamus and Internal Capsule

31
Q

symptoms of mixed sensorimotor stroke?

A

• Symptoms:
o Contralateral hemiplegia/paresis
o Contralateral sensory loss

32
Q

DYSARTHRIA-CLUMSY HAND location?

A

• Location:
o Upper pons
o Internal capsule
o corona radiata

33
Q

DYSARTHRIA-CLUMSY HAND symptoms?

A 
o Facial weakness
o Mild weakness of hand
o Hand clumsiness
“ cannot do fine motor skill, very poor
o Severe dysarthria
34
Q

ATAXIC HEMIPARESIS

• Location:

A

o Internal capsule
o Basis pontis
o Corona radiata

35
Q

ataxic hemiparesis symptoms?

A

o Ipsilateral ataxia/paresis

o Contralateral weakness and ataxia: leg more than arm

36
Q

wallenburg syndrome location?

A

Lateral part of the medulla

37
Q

wallenburg syndrome smptoms

A 
• Symptoms:
o Dysphagia
o Dysarthria
o Diplopia
o Dizziness
o Nystagmus
o Nausea and vomit
o Ataxia
o Impaired gait

“ some of the patients have pseudobulbar palsy; they are emotionally labile; they can burst out laughing or crying for no reason

38
Q
  • Ipsilateral decreased pain and temperature on face
  • Contralateral decreased pain and temperature sensation from body (limbs and torso))
  • Ipsilateral Horner’s Syndrome (ptosis)
  • Uncontrolled hiccups

\hwat vessel

A

Left Lateral Medullary Stroke

39
Q

what syndrome

• Ipsilateral CN III palsy
o Diplopia
o Ptosis
o Afferent papillary defect
• Contralateral hemiplegia and paresis
o Corticospinal
o Corticobulbar
A

webers syndrome

40
Q

Causes of lacunar stroke?

A

• Lipohyalinosis of small arteries
“ destructive lesion to the blood vessel wall
o Stenosis
o Occlusion
• Micro-atheroma formation at the origins of small arteries
o Stenosis or occlusion of the origins
“ sometimes the big arteries has atherosclerotic disease and the plaque already formed at the small branches; and when the plaque is big enough it occludes the origin of this artery and no more blood flow into the small arteries causing lacunar stroke

41
Q

RF for lacunar stroke?

A

o HTN, DM, HLD (Hyperlipidemia)
Smoking
o Others: age, obesity

42
Q

Tx for lacunar stroke?

A

• Acute Treatment:
o IV-Alteplase up to 4.5 hours from onset or last known well
“ Unlike Large Vessel Stroke Treatment, patients of Lacunar Strokes do not need Thrombectomy; it is too small to get the clot

43
Q

prevention lacunar stroke?

A 
• Prevention
o ASA and Plavix for 3 weeks then daily monotherapy
o Statin
o Risk factors control
▪ BP <140/90
▪ HbA1c <6.5
▪ CHOL <200
▪ LDL <70
o Healthy diet, lifestyle
“ low salt, more vegetable, no smoking nor alcohol
o Routine exercise
“ current American Heart Association recommends at least 40 mins moderate intensity exercise for most days of the week; good exercises are those that make you sweat
44
Q

if Px is on warfarin, give

A

“ if Px is on warfarin, give FFP and Vitamin K

45
Q

“ if Px is on heparin, give

A

if Px is on heparin, give Protamine

46
Q

“ if Px is on Factor Xa inhibitor or direct thrombin inhibitor like serato or eloquist, give

A

“ if Px is on Factor Xa inhibitor or direct thrombin inhibitor like serato or eloquist, give reversion like Centra

47
Q

acute treatment for subcortical hemorrhage for BP?

A

• Acute Treatment

o sBP control: BP <160 x 24 hrs

48
Q

acute tx for cortical or lobar hemorrhage?

A

• Acute Treatment
o sBP <160 x 24 hrs then <140/90
o Reverse coagulopathy
o Surgical intervention

49
Q

CORTICAL/LOBAR HEMORRHAGE causes?

A

o Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
o Mass
o Vascular malformations: AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation), AVF (Arteriovenous Fistula)

50
Q

prevention of CORTICAL/LOBAR HEMORRHAGE

A

“ depends on the causes above
“ for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy unfortunately we don’t have a cure, so we do supportive care and control BP; if there is recurrent bleed, controlling BP can minimize the extension (of the bleed)
“ for tumor, we have to treat
“ for AVM and AVF, we have to embolize it by surgery or by occluding it by endovascular therapy

51
Q

Acute tx for subarachnoid hemm?

A

• Acute Treatment
o sBP <160
o Reverse coagulopathy
o Look for causes
▪ Aneurysm rupture
“ do CT angiogram or DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography)
o Coiling embolization
“ we use catheter and pack with wire or any thin metal
“ first endovascular approach to consider
o Clipping
