Cerebral Blood Flow Flashcards

1
Q

Carotid

A
  • Off aorta L and Brciocephalic R
  • Plaqua at origin, MCA bifurcation, ACA turn
  • Opthamlic, Anterior Choroidal, ACA, MCA
  • Septal, Anterior BG, Frontal, Parietal, lateral temporal and occipital
  • Anyeruism in Cavernous Sinus can cause Horners because of loss of Postganglionic Sympathetics

Q

Middle Cerebral Artery

A
  • Begins as stem giving off lenticulostriate before branching into superior and inferior branchces

  • Motor and sensory to Face and Arms (superior branch) as well as parts of corticospinal and corticobulbar
  • Speech
  • Emotions
  • 3D perception
  • Optic Radiations

Q

MCA Stem

A
  • Gives off lenticulostriate arteries that are susceptible to HTN through hemorrhage or occlusion
  • LS are end arteries that supple BG (Putamen and Caudate) and Internal Capsule

Q

Internal Capsule

A

-Anterior: Thalamic and intercerebral communicating fibers
-Genu: Corticobulbar
Posterior: Corticospinal and Sensory

17
Q

Wallenberg Syndrome

A
  • Occlusion of PICA or Vertebral
  • Lateral Medullary Syndrome
  • 9,10,11,12, vestibular, cerebellum, descending trigeminal (P/T) face,Horners
18
Q

Occlusion of Basilar pons

A
  • Veritcal Eye movements preserved but horizontal lost because of loss of PPRF and abducens in caudal pons
  • Locked in, paralysis below
  • Reticular formation preserved in midbrain/mid-pons allows for conciousness depending on how high up the lesion is. Can be preserved or can be lost.
19
Q

Surreal Pain

A
  • Loss of Thalamic structures can cause relay and recipricol inhibition to be impaired
  • Ocllusion of PCA
  • Causes all stimuli to be felt as pain
20
Q

3rd Nerve Palsy

A

Posterior Communicating Artery anyeurism

21
Q

Anterior Choroidal

A

-Posterior Limb of internal Capsule
