Capsuler contralateral
Brainstem : cROSSed Hemiplegia

Dorsal cord: Paraplegia
Polynerupathy distal flaccid paralysis
Rt UL weakness
Just Wrist drop
Radian nerve injury
Hyporeflexia or lost DTJ in cases of LMNL
(e.g polyneuropathy)
Focal loss of DTJ may indicate focal root or nerve pathology (e.g. loss of triceps reflex in …………..).
radial nerve injury
WRIST+Patellar+ Ankle CLONUS
Hoffman sign
Finger jerk
Wartenburg sign
refers to ?
UMNL
Optic nerve can be tested by
A. Vision (as visual acuity, color vision, visual field and visual
evoked potential)
B. Pupillary light reflex.
inflammation of the axons of the optic nerve
due to infective or non-infective causes
Optic neuritis
Optic neuritis may be in the form of
papillitis
Retrobulbar neuritis
inflammation of the optic disc head (the
papillae), common in children with viral optic neuritis.
papillitis
Inflammation of the part of the
nerve behind the eye, common in demyelinating diseases.
Retrobulbar neuritis
clinical picture of optic neurits
Drop of vision
washed out colors
afferent papillary light reflex defect
Fundus: changes in papillitis and ischemic neuropathy, or
normal if …………….?
Retrobulbar neuritis
Painful eye movement in MS and inflammatory causes refers to
Optic neurtits
Central or centrocecal scotoma + attidudinal Field defect in
Viusal field examination of optic neuritis
Bilateral delay in P100 latency refers to ?
Optic nerutits
Visaul evoked potential VEP
Investigations of OPtic neutitis :-
1-Visaul fields = Centrocecal scatoma + attudinal field defect in( ischemic neuropathy )
2-Visual Evoked potential
3-MRI for brain in multiple sclerosis
ttt of Optic neuritis
Steroids as Methylperidinsolone
Treatments of causes and avoding Risk factors
vitamine supplements
Bilateral swelling of the optic disc head due to
increased intracranial tension
Papilledema
Causes of papilledema
Increased ICP :-
Space occyping lesions
Cerebral venous thrombosis
Obstruction of flow as cerebral acqudct stenosis
Patient complain of his eye
Heache + Projecetile vomiting
Normal vision but transiently lost in ? coughing
?
what is the fate of his vision if neglected
Fundus examination reveals?
Papilledema
Lost
________________
Early papilledema : blurring of disc margins nasally
Established papilledema : blurring + Engorement of veins + Hge + cotton wool spots
Chronic papilledema : Elevation + the cotton wool and Hge subsides
Post papilledemic Otpic atrophy
Mentio investigations of Papilledema
Brain MRI most important!
Visual field
CSF lumbar puncture
ttt of Papilledema
Neurosurgery + Acetazolamide + Ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Pallor of the optic disc due to death of the ganglion cells
Optic Atrophy
Compare between primary optic atrophy and secondary one
Primary: with no edema as retrobulbar neuritis
Secondarya after edema as Papillitis + Papilledema
