strabismus, ichthyotic skin, hyperextension of the neck, increased tone, dysphagia, myoclonus, massive splenomegaly
Where do hyperintensities on MRI tend to occur for Leigh's disease?
bilateral cerebral peduncles, thalamus and putamen
What movement disorder also has skull thickening 2 to 3 times of normal?
DRPLA-triplet repeat disorder Japan and Carolinab
What are the features of metachromatic leukodystrophy?
CNS + PNS dementia ataxia
What is the deficiency in sialidosis type 1?
alpha neuraminidase
What is the deficiency in sialidosis type 1?
alpha neuraminidase
What are the clinical features of NCL?
progressive myoclonic epilepsy
macular degen
What is the neurologic manifestation of Farber's disease?
MR
What is the deficiency in abetalipoproteinemia?
mttp microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
What are the most common tumors that metastasize to the spinal cord?
Bad lesions like killing glia
breast lung lymphoma kidney colorectal
What is the enzyme deficiency associated with GM1 gangliosidosis?
beta galactosidase
What is Alport's syndrome?
sensorineural hearing loss and interstitial nephritis
What are the symptoms of sulfite oxidase deficiency?
mr, aphasia, seizures, lens subluxation, intractable seizuere
What mitochondrial disorder is associated with intestinal pseudoobstruction?
MELAS
What is the prominent efferent pathway from the amygdala?
stria terminalis which teminates in the hypothalamus, nucleus of stria terminalis and medial preoptic nuclei
amygdalofugal fibers pass through the inferior thalamic peduncle to the magnocellular division of the mediodorsal nucleus
amygdalofugal fibers pass through the inferior thalamic peduncle to the magnocellular division of the mediodorsal nucleus
Describe a central cord syndrome.
The pattern of bilateral upper extremity weakness affecting distal muscles more than proximal ones with decreased pinprick
sensation with retained fine touch, ie, a dissociated sensory level in a "cape-like" distribution is most suggestive of a central cord
syndrome. A central cord lesion affecting the anterior commissure will affect the crossing spinothalamic tracts resulting in
sensory deficits only at the level of the lesion, without causing more caudal sensory deficits, and will spare vibration and light
touch since the dorsal columns are spared.
What arteries are the thalamus supplied by?
PCA, PCOMM and posterior choroidal arteries
What are the preganglionic parasympathetic outflow arise from in cranial nerves?
The cranial preganglionic outflow arises from visceral cell groups of the brain stem associated with the oculomotor, facial,
glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. All of these are parasympathetic.
Which cerebellar peduncle does the nucleus dorsalis of clarke travel in?
The posterior spinocerebellar tract arises from the dorsal nucleus of Clarke. The fibers enter the cerebellum via the inferior
cerebellar peduncle. None of the impulses conveyed by this tract reaches conscious levels.
What are the fibers from the STN (excitatory or inh) and what are their outputs?
Axonal fibers arising from the subthalamic nucleus terminate on the globus pallidum, internal segment and the substantia nigra,
pars reticulata. Neurons of the subthalamus contain glutamate and exert excitatory input into the globus pallidum, pars internal.
This connection is one component of the indirect loop that decreases thalamocortical excitation.
What are the 4 structures the anterior choroidal artery supplies?
The anterior choroidal artery arises from the internal carotid artery distal to the origin of the posterior communicating artery. It
has a long subarachnoid course, enters the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle through the choroidal fissure, and supplies the
amygdala, hippocampal formation, globus pallidus, and the ventrolateral portion of the posterior limb and the entire
retrolenticular portion of the internal capsule.
Which 3 cutaneous nerves are derived from the L1 dermatome?
genitofemoral
ilioinguinal
iliohypogastric
Which muscles act to flex the hip?
iliacus, tensor fascia lata and psoas muscles
Which muscles acts to internally rotate the thigh?
iliacus which therefore connects to the iliotibial band
What is a Chiari type 1 malformation?
tonisillar herniation >5 mm below foramen magnum (some soures argue it could be less with symptoms)
What is a Chiari type 2 malformation? **
1. tectal beaking
2. lumbar myelomeningocoele
3. tonsillar herniation
4. cerebellar vermis displacement
5. downward displacement of torcula herophili (dist. from dandy walker)
+/- clival hypoplasia
What is a Dandy-Walker malformation?
1. vermis agenesis/hypoplasia
2. posterior fossa cyst with upward displacement of torcula herophili (dist. from chiari 2)
3. corpus callosum agenesis/hypoplasia
What is a Chiari type 3 malformation?
occipital encephalocoele
What is a Chiari type 4 malformation?
cerebellar hypoplasia
