Question
Answer
weakness with sustained actvitiy; ptosis; problems with speech   myasthenia gravis  
🗑
ipsilateral paralysis below lesion; ipsilateral loss of position, vibration and touch below lesion; contralateral loss of pain and temp startingone or two dermatomes below lesion; ipsilateral loss of pain and temp at zone of injury only   brown-sequard syndrome  
🗑
bilateral loss of pain and temp in UE; no LE loss of pain or temp; position, vibration and touch OK thoughout body; paralysis of muscles innervated by segments involved; progresses to cause upper motor neuron signs in LE   Syringomyelia  
🗑
loss of hearing; ipsilateral facial paralysis; ipsilateral reduced facial sensation and gait unsteadiness   acoustic neuroma (caused by tumor of CN VIII)  
🗑
akinesia; bradykinesia; resting tremor; rigidity; postural instability   Parkinson's Disease- caused by pathology of the substantia nigra pars compacta  
🗑
chorea; irritability, depression and apathy; attentional and memor deficits; dementia   Huntington Disease (caused medium spiny neuron death in the GPe)  
🗑
uncontrolled movements of the proximal limb muscles   Hemiballismus (usually caused by unilateral stroke of the subthalamic nucleus and is treated with dopamine antagonists)  
🗑
stance/gait ataxia; no individual limb ataxia; rotated/tilted head; nystagmus; titubation   Midline cerebellar damage  
🗑
decomposition of momvement; stance/gait ataxia secondary to ataxia of single limbs; hypotonia; dysarthria; dysmetria; dysdiadochokinesia; action tremor   lateral cerebellar damage (left side damage will manifest on left side of body)  
🗑
expressive aphasia   Broca's aphasia- left frontal lobe middle cerebral artery stroke

🗑
rigid posture with extended UE and LE, head, back and neck   Decerebrate coma (cerebrum damage-below colliculi but above vestibular nuclei)  
🗑
total loss of vision in ipsilateral eye   optic nerve lesion  
🗑
loss of vision in temporal halves of both fields (tunnel vision)   Optic chiasm lesion (only lesion causing nonhomonymous deficit)  
🗑
Loss of vision in half of visual field (contralateral hemianopsia)   optic tract lesion  
🗑
loss of vision in upper quadrant of opposite half of visual field   optic radiation lesion  
🗑
Pros of CT imaging   rapid, inexpensive, easy to monitor patient during process  
🗑
Cons of CT imaging   brainstem view limited by nearby dense bone  
🗑
Pros of MRI   greater detail and contrast; 3-D; picks up subtle changes; reveals disruption of blood brain barrier  
🗑
Cons of MRI   Claustrophobia; can't image ppl on life support; can't immage ppl with ferrous implants or debris in eye; can't image pregnant women  
🗑
