damg r hypoglossal nerve or nuclei

dmg r motor cortex that innervates tongue
tongue deviates to the left
damage to which areas can cause tongue to deviate to the left?

right corticobulbar tract ?
right tongue portion of motor cortex
Pt has spastic paralysis on R side of body. He has left sided ptosis and mydriasis (pupil dilation).

His eyes show lateral strabismus (I think this is where you can't look laterally)
This sounds like a lesion to a cerebral peduncle ( spastic paralysis is corticospinal, and the eye stuff means a lesion of the 3rd CN as it exits midbrain medially)

so this is Weber's syndrome
where is the anterior spinal artery
it is the little artery between the two vertebral arteries

it supplies the medial medulla
Pt has spastic paralysis on the left and tactile and kinesthetic defects on the left.
HIs tongue deviates to the right. Where is the lesion?
a tongue thing makes you think maybe the medulla is involved (likely but not always the case). where in teh medulla does the corticospinal tract run? the pyramids. and where does CN 12 exit? medially. so this is probably a medial medullary syndrome.

the medulla is innervated by a paamedian branch of the anterior spinal artery
innervates medial medulla
paramedian branch of anterior spinal artery
pt has lost pain and temp sensation over his right face and his left body. He also c/o hoarseness, difficulty swallowing. You try to gag him but it doesn't work. He has right sided Horner's syndrome.

He also has vertigo, nystagmus, and n/v.

You test his cerebellum and find that he has right sided past-pointing
We see damage to the STT/TTT from the right face and left body. The sTT from the left body is on the right, so we assume we are on the right side of the brainstem.

Hoarseness is caused by a CN 9/10 lesion--the nucleus ambiguus/motor area

This is in the medulla.

A right sided Horner's syndrome results from sympathetic damage.

The clincher is the cerebellar damage on the right--it indicates ICP damage, which puts us in the right lateral medulla. The vestibular nucleus damage also helps decide this (vertigo, n/v)

This is lateral medullary syndrome, in which the PICA is damaged
PICA supplies
lateral medulla
Pt comes in with left-sided spastic paralysis and loss of light touch/vibration/kinsthetic sensation on the left.

He can't look to the right.

He can't abduct his right eye.

He has no deficits in pain and temp sensation
left sided spastic paralysis plus decreased vibration sense on the left indicates a lesion where these guys run together. Moving on, we see that he can't look to the right. So this puts us in the brainstem, with a CN 6 palsy. CN6 and the PPRF are located in the pons. If the pt can't look to the right and can't abduct his right eye, we are thinking right pons.

So a right pontine lesion that incorporates all these things would have to be medial, since CN6 exits the brain medially

This is right medial inferior pontine syndrome.

The artery damaged is the right paramedian branch of the basilar artery
Medial nuclei
3, 6, 12
supplies the pons
medially: paramedian branches of basilar (Willis' fat belly)

laterally: AICA
Pt comes in complaining of hearing loss and tinnitus on the left as well as nystagmus, vertigo, NV. He also has a left sided bell's palsy. You find that his tongue has loss of taste on the left. He can't feel any pain or temperature on the left side of his face or on the right side of his body. He also has a left sided Horner's syndrome. Finally, he has left sided limb and gait ataxia.
The left sided facial nerve paralysis/loss of taste means CN 7. The unilateral deafness/tinnitus means CN 8. The nystagmus, vertigo, n/v means vestibular nucleus. The limb and gait ataxia on the left points you toward a cerebral peduncle, which makes you think of the pons. The left face sensory loss and the right body sensory loss put you somewhere where the pyramids and the TTT are near each other. This is lateral and on the left. The Horner syndrome means there is damage to the descending sympathetics. It looks like you are in the lateral inferior pons, supplied by the left AICA
Pt comes in complaining of hearing loss and tinnitus on the left as well as nystagmus, vertigo, NV. He also has a left sided bell's palsy. You find that his tongue has loss of taste on the left. He can't feel any pain or temperature on the left side of his face or on the right side of his body. He also has a left sided Horner's syndrome. He has left sided limb and gait ataxia.

He also has a loss of vibration and light touch on the left. His jaw deviates to the left.
Wow, this is a problem with CN7 on the left, STT and TTT on the left, and CN V3 on the left, also well as descending sympathetics. If you are including CN 5, then this is a lateral superior pontine problem
