1. Lacunar stroke is seen due to damage of lenticulostriate
branches, which are branches of ?

A. M1 - Horizontal part of Middle Cerebral Artery


B. M2- Insular part of Middle Cerebral Artery
C. M3 - Opercular part of Middle Cerebral Artery
D. M4 - Cortical part of Middle Cerebral Artery
Answer:

A) Horizontal part of MCA - Lenticulostriate branches arise superiorly from M1 of


middle cerebral artery . It causes basal ganglia manifestations when involved.
2. All the following are located on the lateral side of brain stem except?

A. Spinothalamic Tract
B. Spinocerebellar Tract
C. Corticospinal Tract
D. Sympathetic chain
Answer:

C) Corticospinal Tract - It is a motor tract present in the midline of the brainstem.

Lateral side
- Spinothalamic Tract
- Spinocerebellar Tract
- Sympathetic chain
- Sensory CN nuclei

Midline
- Medial longitudinal fasciclus (eye movement)
- Motor Tract (Corticospinal tract)
- Medial leminiscus ( proprioception and vibration)
- Motor nucleus of CN 3, 4, 6, 12
3. All the following are features of lateral medullary syndrome except,

A. Horner’s syndrome
B. Crossed hemianaesthesia
C. Aguesia and vertigo
D. Deviated tongue
Answer:
D) Deviated tongue

Lateral Medullary syndrome


- Restiform body - I/L gait ataxia, I/L intention tremors, I/L hypotonia
- Descending sympathetic chain - Horner’s syndrome
- CN 5 - I/L loss of sensation over face
- Lateral STT - C/L loss of pain and temperature
-CN 7,9 - Aguesia
-CN 8 - Vertigo
4. CADASIL is associated with which of the following gene?

A. NOTCH 1
B. NOTCH 2
C. NOTCH 3
D. NOTCH 4
Answer:

C) NOTCH 3 gene

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts. It is a type of small


vessel stroke
5. A 58 year old male patient presented with drooping of left eyelid and weakness in the
right upper limb and lower limb . Which part of the brain is affected?

A. Medial midbrain
B. Medial medulla
C. Pons
D. Thalamus
Answer:

A) Medial midbrain

Weber’s syndrome ( Vental midbrain syndrome )


- I/L CN 3 palsy (ptosis) , squint (deviation of eye)
- C/L hemiplegia
6. Which of the following is least likely cause of intraparenchymal hemorrhage?

A. Cavernous angioma
B. Aneurysm
C. Capillary telengectasia
D. Head trauma
Answer:

C) Capillary telengectasia - It is more common in brainstem. It is mostly non-


hemorrhagic and asymptomatic.
7. The most common site of intraparenchymal hemorrhage is:

A. Thalamus
B. Putamen
C. Cerebellum
D. Pons
Answer:

B) Putamen - most common type of intracranial hemorrhage is intraparenchymal


hemorrhage. It is most often caused by hypertensive bleed.
8. Raised intracranial tension is not associated with which of the following
manifestations?

A. Seizures
B. Blurring of vision
C. Paraparesis
D. Abducent paralysis
Answer:

C) Paraparesis - usually caused by a spinal lesion compressing the spinal cord.

Manifestations of raised ICT include


- Hypertension
- Bradycardia
- Respiartory depression
- Headache, blurring of vision due to papilledema and abducent nerve palsy
- Seizures
9. Which of the following is a component of Cushing’s triad?

A. Bradycardia
B. Hypotension
C. Loss of consciousness
D. Papilledema
Answer:

A) Bradycardia - a component of Cushing’s triad

Cushing’s triad - Hypertension, Bradycardia, Respiratory depression


10. At which of the following locations does a Berry Aneurysm have the highest risk of
rupture?

A. Origin of posterior communicating artery


B. Origin of anterior cerebral artery
C. Middle cerebral artery
D. Anterior communicating artery
Answer:

A) Origin of posterior communicating artery

Aneurysms with greater risk of rupture :


-Size: > 7cm in diameter
-Located at the top of Basilar artery (origin of PCA)
-Located near the origin of posterior communicating artery

The most common location of Berry aneurysm is the Anterior communicating artery.
