20
Q

what is cranioshisis?

A

failure of the back of the skull to close

21
Q

what is meningocele?

A

the cyst structure from failure of the back of the skull to close contains meninges

22
Q

what is meningoenchephalocele

A

the cyst structure from failure of the back of the skull to close contains meninges and the brain

23
Q

what is meningohydroencephalocele?

A

the cyst structure from failure of the back of the skull to close contains meninges, brain, and part of the ventricular system

24
Q

what is the alar plate in the developing spinal cord?

A
  • posterior cell masses that become the dorsal horn

- sensory

25
Q

what is the basal plate in the developing spinal cord?

A
  • anterior cell masses that become the ventral horn

- motor

26
Q

what develops in the intermediate zone of the spinal cord?

A

the sympathetic nervous system

27
Q

what is the sulcus limitans?

A

the groove that separates the alar and basal plates

28
Q

how are the alar and basal plates arranged in the brainstem?

A

-the alar plates rotate dorsolaterally to give the plates a medial to lateral orientation

29
Q

the alar and basal plates, which one has afferent fibers and which one has efferent?

A

Alar-afferent

Basal-efferent

30
Q

what does the cerebellum arise from?

A

rhombic lip

31
Q

what is dandy-walker syndrome? what would the CT show? what are the clinical signs?

A
  • dilation of the fourth ventricle, incomplete development of midline portion of cerebellum
  • CT shows enlarged posterior fossa with a midline cyst
  • developmental delay, big head, hydrocephalus
32
Q

what is chiari malformation? what is the difference between I and II?

A
  • herniation of the cerebellar vermis and tonsils through the foramen magnum
  • skull is abnormally small and compresses brain downward
  • type I: develops as the skull and brain are growing
  • type II: malformation is present at birth
33
Q

what is prosencephalization?

A

differentiation of prosencephalon into the diencephalon and telencephalon

34
Q

what is holoprosencephaly? what is the difference between alobar and semilobar?

A
  • failure of prosencephalon to undergo cleavage
  • Alobar: no lobes, single forebrain ventricle
  • Semilobar: partial separation
35
Q

fetal alcohol syndrome is associated with what?

A

holoprosencephaly

36
Q

what is lissencephaly? pachygyria? micrgyria?

A

Lissencephaly: no gyri formed
Pachygyria: excessive gyri growth
Microgyria: deficient gyri growth

37
Q

what are some signs of fetal alcohol syndrome?

A
  • short
  • low body weight
  • small head
  • mental retardation
  • hypertelorism (eyes far apart)
38
Q

what is the consequence of defective development of cerebral aqueduct?

A
  • aqueduct stenosis

- hydrocephalus

39
Q

what do radial glia do?

A

-they act as cell guides to allow neuroblasts to migrate away from the luminal surface and develop the layers of the cerebral cortex.

40
Q

what is the difference between spina bifida occulta and spina bifida aperta?

A

occulta: skin is intact, marked by a patch of hair
aperta: skin is not closed over the vertebral defect
