2. UMN paralysis (damage to pyramidal tract)
Medial medullary syndrom
3. Ipsi paralysis of tongue muscles (tongue deviates to side of lesion-Hypoglossal nucleus

• may affect fibers in CN XII & CST because the two structures are juxtaposed in medulla
• Anatomic basis for inferior or hypoglossal alternating hemiplegia
•Characterized by LMN paralysis of ipsi half of tongue, & contra hemiplegia
Posterior spinal a supplies
fasciculus gracilis & cuneatus

Clopidogrel (plavix)
block ADP formation & prevent or attenuate platelet aggregation
Asprin
causes and irreversible acetylation of the enzyme cyclooxygenase and inhibits thromboxane synthesis in platelets
reduction of thromboxane synthesis in platelets
results in reduced release of this prostaglandin leading to prevention or reduction of platelet aggregation
Tirofiban (Aggrastat)
blocks GP IIb/IIIa receptors on the platelets and prevents their aggregation
GP receptors
located on platelet membrane, bind fibrinogen and other molecules and promote clot formation
