A medial medullary lesion involving the pyramid causes:
From: BrainstemCorrect answer: E. The pyramid contains corticospinal fibers, so a medial medullary lesion produces contralateral weakness.Postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the ciliary ganglion travel in the:
From: Cranial NervesCorrect answer: C. Short ciliary nerves carry postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscle.Anterior spinal artery occlusion primarily affects the:
From: Peripheral Nerves & Clinical LocalizationCorrect answer: A. The anterior spinal artery supplies most of the anterior cord, including motor and anterolateral pathways.The lateral spinothalamic tract primarily carries:
From: Spinal Cord & Major TractsCorrect answer: E. The lateral spinothalamic tract conveys nociceptive and thermal sensation.Occlusion of the calcarine branch of the PCA can cause:
From: Ventricular System, CSF & Cerebral Blood SupplyCorrect answer: C. PCA infarction involving the visual cortex can cause contralateral homonymous hemianopia, often with macular sparing.
