Q

Insufficient blood flow

25
Rupture of the vessel and bleeding into the cranial cavity
Hemorrhage
26
Contralateral hemiplegia and somatosensory loss mainly in LE | Some loss of motivation and executive cognition
Anterior cerebral deficits
27
Contralateral hemiplegia and somatosensory loss in the UE and head Aphasia Sensory association Some loss of executive cognition and working memory Major mulisystem dysfunciton as result of deep structure insult
Middle cerebral deficits can include
28
Hemianopsia Several syndromes related to midbrain, thalamus, and subthalamic nuclei Webers syndrome
Posterior cerebral deficits can include
29
Superior alternating hemiplegia Ipsilateral oculomotor dysfunction Pupil dilation Contralateral hemiplegia
webers syndrome
30
Ipsilateral limb and gain ataxia Contralateral loss of pain and temp sensation ipsilateral horner's syndrome
Superior cerebellar deficits can include
31
Increased influence of parasympathetic drive to the eye ipsilateral pupil constriction ptosis sinking in of eyeball
Horners syndrome
32
ipsilateral loss of facial sensation ipsilateral horners syndrome contralateral hemianesthesia
anterior inferior cerabellar deficits can include
33
Posterior inferior cerebellar deficits can include
Wallenbergs's syndrome
34
Dysphagia and dysarthria (nucleus ambiguus) Ipsilateral pain and temp of face (CNV) contralateral pain and temp of body (spinothalamic tract) Vertigo (vestibular nuclei) Ipsilateral horner's
Wallenberg's syndrome
35
Anterior spinal deficits can include
Medial medullary syndrome
36
Contralateral conscious proprioception (medial leminiscus) Paresis (upper motor neuronds in pyramidal tract ) deviation of tongue to side of lesion (CN XII)
Medial medullary syndrome
37
Ipsilateral conscious proprioception (nucleus cuneatus and gracillus)
Posterior spinal deficits can include
38
what can occlude the vertebral arteries
Extension and rotation, especially with bad posture
39
What can vertebral artery compromise result in
``` nystagmus dizziness nausea blurred vision loss of balance or fall ```
40
Main sinuses
``` Superior sagittal sinus Inferior sagittal sinus Sphenoparietal sinus Cavernous sinus Transverse sinus Confluence of sinuses ```
41
runs the length of the in interhemisphereic fissure at the superior border of the falx cerebri draining much of the lateral and superior medial cortex
Superior sagittal sinus
42
runs much of the length of the interhemispheric fissure at teh inferior border of the falx cerebri formin the straight sinus above the tentorium cerebelli
Inferior sagittal sinus
43
drain the deep middle cerebral veins
Sphenoparietal sinus
44
Convoluted sinus around the sella turcica. many important structures are surrounded by these sunuses
Cavernous sinus
45
Wraps around the lateral aspects of the cerebellum draining the occipital cortex and cerebellum
transverse sinus
46
near the occipital pole, the superior and straight sinuses connect to the tranverse sinuses, which becomes the sigmoid sinus which then descends to become the internal jugular vein
confluence of sinuses
47
Layers that play an integral role in supporting the brain, vessels and CSF
Meninges
48
Tough fibrous membrane that surrounds the venous sinuses
dura mater
49
The dura extends between lobes of the brain in sheets called speta, to help hold it in place in relation to the vessels
Flax cerebri | Tentorium cerebelli
50
Provides mechanical and chemical support for the brain acts like a protective water jacket carries away metabolites and toxins
cerebrospinal fluid
51
____ are present in each ventricle
choroid plexuses
52
sequence of verticles
``` Lateral ventricles 3rd ventricle cerebral aqueduct 4th ventricle empties to the central canal of the spinal cord ```
53
Ventricles that wind around the basal ganglia, thalamus, midbrain
Lateral ventricles
54
Narrow vertical space between the thalami, above the hypothalamus
3rd ventricle
55
narrow channel running from the 3rd to 4th ventricle
Cerebral aqueducts
56
pyramid shaped cavity behind the pons and below, anterior to, and between the hemisphere of the cerebellum
4th ventricle
57
the continued production of CSF even if flow is obstructed
Hydrocephalus
58
artery to medial and some frontal/parietal aspects of the cortex also support internal capsule, and some basal ganglia
anterior cerebral artery
