It is also called acquired dyslexia, visual aphasia or word blindness. This is fairly common after a stroke. It is caused by damage to the left side of the brain (usually the occipital and temporal lobes). Alexia and dyslexia are terms that are often used interchangeably. ure alexia almost always involves an infarct to the left posterior cerebral artery (which perfuses the splenium of the corpus callosum and left visual cortex, among other things). The resulting deficit will be pure alexia - i.e., the patient can write but cannot read (even what they have just written). However, because pure alexia affects visual input, not auditory input, patients with pure alexia can recognize words that are spelled out loud to them.

What is lissauers tract?
= Posterolateral tract is a small strand situated in relation to the tip of the posterior column close to the entrance of the posterior nerve roots. It is present throughout the spinal cord, and is most developed in the upper cervical regions. The neurons and axons that make up Lissauer's tract are involved mainly in transmitting information from pain- and temperature-sensitive afferents to the neighboring segments of the spinal cord. Collaterals of unmyelinated and thinly myelinated axons of small primary sensory neurons (C and A-delta fibers, respectively) both ascend and descend for at least a few cord segments in Lissauer's tract

Vascular dementia
? In vascular dementia, changes in thinking skills sometimes occur suddenly following strokes that block major brain blood vessels. Thinking problems also may begin as mild changes that worsen gradually as a result of multiple minor strokes or other conditions that affect smaller blood vessels, leading to cumulative damage. Vascular brain changes often coexist with changes linked to other types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Vascular dementia is widely considered the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, accounting for 20 to 30 percent of cases. No approved drugs for this. Some alzheimer´s drugs are in trial.

10. In alternating hemiplegia (unilateral brainstem lesion) : (look up answers) a) hemiparesis or hemiplegia occurs ipsilaterally b) cranial nerve palsy is contralateral to brainstem lesion c) cranial nerve palsy is peripheral (lower motor neuron lesion) d) cranial nerve palsy is central (upper motor neuron lesion)
Hemiparesis - contralat CN palsy - ipsilat If the CN lesion is peripheral or not depends if the lesion is above or below the nuclei of the CN.. So I'm not sure how to answer this. Most commonly lesions of brainstem causes *peripheral* CN lesions! Klara: c) must be correct! if it would be central, it would be contralateral and also wouldn't be alternating hemiplegia I think!

Morbus devic - neruomyelitis optica -
IG againts aquaporins. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), also known as Devic's disease or Devic's syndrome, is an heterogeneous condition consisting of recurrent and simultaneous inflammation and demyelination of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) and the spinal cord (myelitis). Currently at least two different causes are proposed based on the presence of autoantibodies against AQP4. AQP4+ NMO is currently considered an autoimmune disease (autoimmune astrocytopathy, or autoimmune astrocytic channelopathy) in which a person's own immune system attacks the astrocytes of the optic nerves and spinal cord.
Herniation of lumbal disc leads to paraparesis

Lambert-Eaton is a paraneoplastic syndrome; small lung cell carcinoma
Is a rare autoimmune disorder that is characterized by muscle weakness of the limbs. It is the result of an autoimmune reaction in which antibodies are formed against *presynaptic* voltage-gated calcium channels in the NM junction. Around 60% of those with LEMS have an underlying malignancy, most commonly small cell lung cancer; it is therefore regarded as a *paraneoplastic syndrome*.

What is red neuron - death of neuronal cell due to hypoxia
Ischemic cell change: Neurons are quickly injured by ischemia (regional absence of blood supply). After 6-12 hours morphological changes include acute shrinkage, angularity, and homogeneous eosinophilia of the cytoplasm. The nucleus becomes shriveled, pyknotic and hyperchromatic. These changes are part of the process of cell death. Affected cells are called ischemic neurons or red neurons or eosinophilic neurons.

Vivid limb position memories that emerge after amputation

Lesion between pontine center for urination and sacral center for urination will affect the bladder in which way?
Spinal cord injury above the lumbosacral level eliminates voluntary and supraspinal control of voiding, leading initially to an *areflexic bladde*r and complete *urinary retention*, followed by a slow development of *automatic micturition* and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) that is mediated by spinal reflex pathways. However, voiding is commonly inefficient owing to simultaneous contractions of the bladder and the urethral sphincter (detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia) The sacral micturition center is located at the S2-S4 levels and is responsible for bladder contraction. The pontine micturition center acts as a central relay and may play a role in the coordination of external sphincter relaxation with bladder contraction. The cerebral cortex plays an inhibitory role in relation to the sacral micturition center.

Thomayer test - bad enligsh -->
Thomayerova distance Thomayerova distance, which is sometimes referred to as a simple crouch test. Display and evaluate non-specific mobility throughout the spine. It consists bent conducted from a standing position, when in extreme position, measure the distance of the third finger from the pad. Under normal result is considered touch of your fingertips, yet we tolerate distance of 10 cm, 30 cm above, it is the clear pathology. During the test we have to be careful about certain distortion - movement can be compensated by moving the hips or vice versa is restricted due to shortening of the knee flexors (patient shrugs her knees and feel pain in the knees). Except hypomobility test can investigate and significant hypermobility, when the patient touches the floor the entire hand or forearm (it is considered a very important disorder of connective tissue). Increased ligament laxity and thus the positive examination hypermobility is more frequent in women.
