Study Notes
Brachial Plexus Lesion
- Lesions of the brachial plexus are most likely to occur from penetrating wounds.
- The specific labeled areas on the diagram determine the likely location of the injury.
Cranial Nerve Exit
- The cranial nerve that exits the cranium via the opening in the CT scan is the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Oculomotor Nerve Damage
- Damage to the superior division of the oculomotor nerve can cause ptosis, miosis, anhidrosis, flushing of the face, and a narrowed palpebral fissure on the affected side.
Pterygomaxillary Fissure Compression
- A bony overgrowth narrowing the pterygomaxillary fissure can reduce blood flow to the sphenopalatine artery, which is a branch of the maxillary artery.
Facial Nerve Paralysis
- The buccinator muscle will continue to function despite facial nerve paralysis.
Cavernous Sinus Thrombophlebitis
- A single acne-like lesion on the anterior tip of the nose can lead to cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis.
- The ophthalmic vein is the most likely route for the spread of the infection to the cavernous sinus.
Lesion in the Right Lung
- A lesion involving the thoracic anterior roots in the right lung may cause ptosis and miosis of the right eye.
Cervical Region Stab Wound
- A 22-year-old man's stab wound in the anterior cervical region (C2 vertebral level), superior to the hyoid bone, can damage the hypoglossal nerve, causing dysarthria (difficulty speaking).
Occipital Eye Field
- The occipital eye field is a relatively small area.
- Lesions in this area cause transient deviation of the eyes away from the affected side.
- Patients with occipital eye field lesions can direct their eyes to a particular location on command.
Intracranial Dura Innervation
- The intracranial dura is innervated by cranial nerve V, upper cervical spinal nerves, and cranial nerve X.
Anterior Choroidal Artery
- The anterior choroidal artery supplies portions of the amygdala, globus pallidus, and internal capsule, but not the hypothalamus.
Dentate Nuclei Fibers
- Efferent fibers from the dentate nuclei influence the activity of motor neurons in the contralateral cerebral cortex.
- The fibers leave the cerebellum via the middle cerebellar peduncle.
Supplemental Motor Cortex
- Some of the neurons of the supplemental motor cortex (MII) project directly to the spinal cord.
- The body is somatopically represented in the supplemental motor cortex.
- The neurons in this area show movement-related activity only if the task is performed with the contralateral limbs.
- The threshold for stimulation is higher than for the primary motor cortex (MI).
Dorsolateral Spinal Cord Fibers
- Root fibers of spinal ganglia separate into a medial and a lateral bundle.
- The central processes of each dorsal root ganglion divide into both ascending and descending branches.
- The lateral bundle conveys impulses from free nerve endings.
- The medial bundle consists of thinly myelinated or unmyelinated fibers.
- The medial bundle conveys impulses from Golgi tendon organs.
Medulla Transverse Section
- Accessory cuneate nucleus
- Dorsal nucleus of X
- Nucleus ambiguus
- Nucleus of the solitary tract
- Superior vestibular nucleus
Secondary Somatic Sensory Area
- The secondary somatic sensory area (SII) is located on the superior bank of the lateral sulcus.
External Urethral Sphincter Innervation
- The external urethral sphincter is innervated by parasympathetic pelvic nerves.
Optic Tract Fibers
- Uncrossed fibers of the optic tract terminate in layers 1, 4, and 6 of the lateral geniculate.
Cranial Nerve and Regions
- Various structures, such as cranial nerves, are associated with specific regions of the brain, and injury to these can cause symptom patterns depending on the affected area.
