CLTM ASAP (ADVANCED SUPERVISION AND
ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL) BOARD EXAM VERIFIED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LATEST UPDTE
What type of resection is associated with medial temporal sclerosis? - Temporal lobectomy
The safest AED for pregnant women - Lamictal
Hypsarrhythmia is a pattern most often associated with - Infantile spasms
Expressive speech - Broca's area
Temporal lobe epilepsy accounts for what % of all adult patients with epilepsy? - 60%
The majority of seizures in the intensive care unit are: - non convulsive
Vagus nerve stimulators are approved for use in patients with - partial seizures
Phenobarbital shows what activity? - Beta
, Which medication is appropriate for treating status epilepticus? - Lorazepam
Keto diet consists of - high fat, low carbohydrates, adequate protein
Bolus of Propofol will cause: - burst suppression
How often should Stimulation assessment be made on patients monitored in the ICU? - Daily
The greatest utility of CEEG is in the ICU patients with: - Unexplained "spells" such as
variations in vital signs or twitching
WADA testing, also known as intracarotid amobarbitol procedure is performed for: - Language
and memory lateralization
What less invasive test for language and memory has decreased the number of WADA tests
that are being conducted? - fMRI
PET - hypometabolism
The intracarotid ambarbital test is used to determine cerebral dominance for: - language and
memory function
WADA is associated with: - language function
What does PET stand for? - Positron Emission Tomography
Cerebral angiography prior to intracarotid amobarbital testing is necessary to assess - arterial
blood flow
SPECT stands for: - Single Photon Emitted Computed Tomography
Which type of procedure is involved during the preoperative diagnostic WADA test? -
Angiography
PET studies in a child with Rasmussen's encephalitis will most likely demonstrate: - Widespread
hemispheric hypometabolism
As part of the pre-surgical work-up, this magnetic source localization is used for spatial and
temporal functional mapping of interictal epileptiform discharges - MEG
**PET studies in a patient with left temporal lobe epilepsy will most likely show - Decreased
glucose uptake
Intracarotid injection of Amobarbital procedures are associated with: - ipsilateral hemispheric
dysfunction and transient contralateral paralysis
The interictal SPECT may show focal - Hypoperfusion
The goal of cortical stimulation during functional mapping is to: - identify eloquent cortex
