Important points regarding neurological diseasesDiagnostic criteria of Optic Neuritis
Acute or subacute loss of vision plus one of following RAPD VF defects Color vision defect Papillitis
CRION(chronic relapsing inflammatory optic neuropathy)Pain persists for 24-48 hrs beyond visual lossHighly steroid sensitive and need lifelong steroidsNo evidence of demyelinating diseaseT cell granulomatous response
Devic disease(NMO)Bil ateral opti neuritis Demyelination of spinal cord(transverse myelitis)Also called neuromyelitis opticaB cell humoral immunity Iv steroids
Polio Absent /decreased reflexesMuscle wastingLMN disease
Guillan Barre (GBS)Neurology wards ICU s are filled with GBS
patients because it has got two life threatening complications Respiratory failure Cardiac arrhythmias
Motor Neuron Disease (MND)It is the only neurological disease having both
upper and motor neuron signs It spares extraocular muscles
Name 2 conditions in which we give heparin despite haemarrhagePulmonary embolism
Patient comes with massive haemoptsisCerebral venous thrombosis
Patient with intracranial bleed There is no circle of willis in venous circulation so you
have to open the blockage to re establish the venous flow.Doppler of brain circulation
Significant role of doppler is in pathology of anterior circulation . Posterior circulation is nt much better appreciated.
MucormycosisFungal life
threatening and visual threatening condition usually occur in diabetic patients
Patient presented with unilateral ptosis and ophthalmoplegia with severe headache
Within few days become NPL
Stroke This is CT scan of 40
yr old male who presented with Rt homonymous heminopia and rt side hemiparesis . CT shows left PCA infarcts.
