COURSE 2025 JUNE 25TH , 26TH, 27TH
(UPDATED) TO SCORE A+
Types of stroke
(Lesson 2) Answer - Ischemic: 87%
-Thrombotic
-Embolic
-Lacunar
Hemorrhagic: 13%
-Intracerebral
-Subarachnoid
Thrombotic Stroke (Ischemic) Answer - 48% of all strokes
-typically occurs during sleep
-slow progressive onset of deficits
-50% are associated with prior TIA
Embolic Stroke (Ischemic) Answer - 26% of all strokes
-typically occurs while awake
-sudden, immediate deficits (sometimes seizures)
-11% are associated with prior TIA
,Lucunar Stroke (Ischemic)
small vessel disease Answer - 13% of all strokes
-small infarct (>15-20 cm) deep in the brain
-onset can be gradual or sudden
-23% associated with proceeding TIA
-often pure sensory or motor symptoms
-typically no higher cortical functional involved
Intracerebral Hemmorhage (ICH) Answer - 10% of all strokes
-90% happen with the patient is under "no stress"
-major cause of "hypertension"
-onset may be gradual or sudden
-8% are associated with prior TIA
-direct correlation with high blood pressure/ hypertension
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) Answer - 3% of all stroke
-occurs often during strenuous activity
-cause: rupture aneurysms and vascular malformations
-sudden onset
-7% are associated with preceding TIA
Left Stroke with Right Hemiplegia Answer - -Language/Perceptual problems
-expressive aphasia
-receptive aphasia
-global aphasia
,-alexia, agraphia , acalculia
-apraxias: motor planning perceptual problems
(Impaired verbal and math skills with word letter discrimination
Left Stroke with Right Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) Answer - -Slow, anxious,
cautious, normal attention span
-underestimated abilities
-emotionally labile ( abrupt mood changes)
-quick to anger and/or become frustrated
Right Stroke with Left Hemiplegia Answer - Perceptual problems/ Distortion of
physical reality
-visual spatial disorders :depth perception
-constructional relationships
-directional concepts
-neglect, drawing abilities
-body schema perception disorders;
-perceptual language disorders
language
Right Stroke with Left Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) Answer - -fast and impulsive
-short attention span
-overestimate abilities/ judgement
-denial of illness (anosognosia)
-lack of inhibition
-inability to express emotions /affect is flat
, Cerebrum Answer - -frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes
-consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure
-responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and
the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body.
initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of
the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-
solving, emotions and learning.
Frontal Lobe Answer - -controls voluntary movement
-thinking problem solving
-reasoning judgement
-personality
Primary Motor Cortex
(motor homunculus) Answer - -located on the pre-central gyrus
-controls voluntary movement
-lesion to this area results in motor deficits and/or paralysis to the contralateral
side of the body
Premotor Cortex Answer - -located just anterior to the primary motor cortex
-controls actions of trunk and proximal limb muscles
-responsible for body part ownership
-lesion to this area result in unilateral neglect
Supplementary Motor Cortex Answer - -located medial to the primary motor
cortex
-motor planning region
-stores motor memories and directs activity of primary motor cortex
