1. MCA syndrome - Correct Answer: motor and sensory loss in the face,
arm, and to a lesser degree, the leg, on the contralateral side of the infarct
2. Which of the following is not a lacunar syndrome - Correct Answer:
disconjugate gaze syndrome
3. lacunar syndromes - Correct Answer: small infarcts of territories
supplied by a penetrating artery branch of one of the major cerebral
arteries
the area involved in small with finite impact on function
4. lacunar syndrome examples - Correct Answer: pure motor syndrome
pure sensory syndrome
dysarthria- clumsy hand syndrome
,5. Ondine's curse - Correct Answer: syndrome characterized by cessation
of respiration during sleep owing to failure of the automatic respiratory
center in the medulla oblongata
6. medulla - Correct Answer: lowest portion in the brain stem
controls respiration
without proper function we cannot survive
7. the pons - Correct Answer: located between the midbrain and medulla
serves as a communication and coordination center between the cerebrum
and the cerebellum
8. damage to the pons - Correct Answer: paralysis in the body and most of
the facial muscles
conscious remains
ability to perform certain eye movements in preserved
9. parietal lobe - Correct Answer: responsible for proprioception, the
interpretation of the position of the body within its environment
10.right parietal lobe damage - Correct Answer: can result in extinction
(neglect) --> the inability to be aware of the contra lateral side of the body
in relation to the environment
, 11.watershed infarct - Correct Answer: stroke in the space between two
adjacent cerebral arteries which is supplied by tiny penetrating vessels that
are the first to collapse in hypo perfusion
12.corpus callosum - Correct Answer: band of white matter fibers that
connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres
13.tunica intima - Correct Answer: the innermost layer of the arterial blood
vessels that is impacted by uncontrolled diabetes and uncontrolled
hypertension
platelet aggregation occurs
14.arteriovenous malformation - Correct Answer: direct connection
between arteries and veins rather than the usual route of arteries to
arterioles to capillaries to venues to veins
veins are likely to rupture under pressure because they do not have
muscular walls like arteries do
15.Venous sinus thrombosis - Correct Answer: presence of a clot in the venous
sinuses, blocking drainage from the brain congestion results in infarction, and
often petechial hemorrhage
16.treated with heparinization - Correct Answer: venous sinus thrombosis
it is related to a hypercoaguable state, but can present as an ICH
17.blood brain barrier role in ischemic stroke - Correct Answer: protects
against influx of inflammatory cells
, when disrupted, this protective mechanism may be incapacitated, resulting in
edema and possible hemorrhagic transformation
18.multiple tiny infarcts in the same hemisphere is a clue to what condition -
Correct Answer: carotid dissection
19.carotid dissection - Correct Answer: the tearing of the intima of the
carotid artery
tiny clots form along the torn, rough edges of the tear
as they break off and migrate up to the brain, multiple tiny infarcts can
occur, and because each carotid supplies only one side of the brain,
dissection would result in infarcts only on one side
20.vertebral dissection - Correct Answer: the clots that break off and
migrate would be joined by the basilar artery, which supplies the posterior
brain
21.supplies the posterior brain - Correct Answer: basilar artery
22.Binswanger's disease - Correct Answer: condition of insufficient blood
supply to the subcortical tissue
23.normal cerebral blood flow - Correct Answer: 45-60 mL/ 100g/ min
24.irreversible brain damage blood flow - Correct Answer: less than 10 mL/
100 g/ min
