Q

Name the 7 items that are within the Spinal cord.

A
  1. Dorsal Roots
  2. Posterior Columns - Ipsilateral Proprio and 2pt
  3. Lateral Spinothalamic Tract - Contralateral Pain 2 dermatomes down from the lesion
  4. Anterior White Commisure - Bilateral Pain
  5. Lateral corticospinal Tract - Ipsilateral Spastic Hemiplegia
  6. Anterior Horn - Ipsilateral Flaccid Paralysis
  7. Lateral Reticulospinal Tract - Autonomic Nervous System
2
Q

List the 8 structures that are in the Brainstem

A
  1. Spinal lemnisucs - Contralateral Hemianalgesia
  2. Medial Lemniscus - Contralateral Proprio/2pt
  3. Trigeminal lemniscus
  4. Lateral lemniscus - Bilateral Diminished hearing with the contralateral side having more hearing loss than the other
  5. Descending tract of V - Hemianalgesia to the face
  6. Corticospinal Tract - Contralateral Spastic Hemiplesia
  7. Corticobulbar Tract - Supernuclear Facial Palsey (crosses over @ the Pons between CN V and VI)
  8. Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus - Intranuclear Ophthalmoplegia (name it for the side that does not adduct)
3
