#2: What is the etiology?
![Page 21: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Differential Diagnoses(supporting risk factors)
• Sudden onset– Vascular (stroke)– Trauma– Epilepsy (Todd’s paralysis)
• Subacute onset– Infection (TB abscess, meningitis)– Inflammation (lupus, MS)
• Gradual onset– Degeneration (PD)– Demyelination (MS)– SOL (hydrocephalus, neoplasm)
• Variable onset– Metabolic (hypoglycemia great mimicker of neuro conditions)– Toxic/paraneoplastic
![Page 22: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Now, back to basics
![Page 23: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reflexes
1. Afferent (Sensory)
2. Efferent (AHC + Peripheral nerve)
3. Modulation (UMN)
![Page 24: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Examples of Reflex Arcs
Spinal-Biceps & Brachioradialis (C5-6)-Triceps (C7-8)-Hoffman’s (C8)-Cremasteric Reflex (L1)-Knee Jerk (L3-4)-Babinski, Ankle Jerk (S1)-Anal Sphinctor Tone (S2-S4)
Cranial-Pupilliary Light Reflex (CN II-III) -Corneal Reflex (CN V1 – VII)-Jaw Jerk Reflex (CN V3 – V3)-Gag Reflex (CN IX-X)
![Page 25: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Teaching points about reflexes
1)An hyper-reflexic jerk (Nuclear) should prompt you to think upwards (Supra-nuclear)
2) A hypo-reflexic jerk should prompt you to think of
- Afferent
- Efferent

The neuro limbs exam1. Inspection 2. Tone
– Hyper– Normal– Hypo
3. Reflexes– Hyper– Normal– Hypo/Absent
4. Power– Proximal vs Distal vs Other patterns
5. Sensation– Pattern of loss (Glove and stocking vs Dermatomal vs Nerve Distribution)– Modalities lost
• Pain + Temperature• Fine Touch + Vibration
6. Cerebellar– Involved/uninvolved
![Page 27: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Important features of weakness1. UMN vs LMN
– UMN: Spinal cord and above– LMN: AHC and below
2. Proximal vs Distal– Proximal: Myopathy, NMJ or MND– Distal: Wide range of differentials. MND and myotonia dystrophica may present with distal
weakness.
3. Unilateral vs Bilateral– Unilateral: Peripheral nerve/plexus compression, spinal cord, strokes– Bilateral: Myopathies, NMJ, MND, Cord syndromes, Cord transections
4. Sensory involvement– If sensory involved, unlikely to be myopathy/NMJ– Glove and stocking: Peripheral neuropathy, cervical myelopathy– Peripheral nerve distribution: nerve compression, mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex– Dermatomal: Radiculopathy
5. Specific distinguishing features– Muscular pain/skin involvement points to myositis– Fatigability and ocular involvement suggests MG
6. Misc.– GBS can present with almost any pattern of LMN weakness, with or without sensory
involvement

4 Cranial Nerve Rules
1. All cranial nerves except CN 1 and 2 arise from the brainstem– 3, 4 from midbrain– 5, 6, 7, 8 from pons– 9, 10, 11, 12 from medulla
2. Cranial nerves group at several locations3. Cranial nerves are in contact with the meninges and skull base
– CN 6 is particularly affected by meningitis, NPC and raised ICP due to its long intracranial course
4. Cranial nerves behave as peripheral nerves and are thus affected in peripheral neuropathies– Most peripheral neuropathies affect limbs, but GBS/MFS can affect
cranial nerves first

Approach
• Unilateral vs Bilateral
• UMN vs LMN 7
• Isolated vs group vs random
• Long tract signs
![Page 38: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Cranial nerve groups
• Cavernous sinus: 3, 4, V1, 6 (sometimes V2)
• Orbital apex: Cavernous sinus + CN 2
• Cerebello-pontine angle: 5, 6, 7, 8 (Vestibular schwannoma/meningiomas)
• Jugular foramen: 9, 10, 11, 12
![Page 39: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Cranial Nerve Innervation
• Besides Facial Nerve (lower half of motor nucleus) and Hypoglossal nerve, all other cranial nerve nuclei have bilateral innervation.

DDx for eye movement problems
• Isolated 3– Medical: Usually DM
– Surgical: Usually PCA aneurysm
• Isolated 4– Usually congenital, unmasked when the squint
decompensates
• Isolated 6– Usually DM, but look for skull base, cavernous sinus,
meningeal and ICP causes first
• Complex ophthalmoplegia– Consider MG and thyroid eye disease among other ddx
![Page 41: Neurologic Localization for M3s - Nigel Fong Localization for M3s Kevin Chan Teo Ting Wei Edited from Dr Eugene Gan’sslides (Batch of 2016) #1: Where is the lesion? Where Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5afcdfeb7f8b9aa34d8cb308/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Tips
• CN 3 carries parasympathetic fibres on the outside, leading to a blown pupil when compressed but a normal pupil when ischemic (surgical vs medical 3rd)
• CN 6 has a long intracranial course and is compressed by raised ICP

Misc.
• Radiation to the neck for NPC is a cause for cranial neuropathies, especially bilateral cranial neuropathies. Consider it when the deficits fit individual nerves but don’t localisewell anatomically

Important features of numbness1. If there is weakness, approach as a weak patient
with sensory symptoms
2. Modalities affected
– Different modalities between limbs: Brown Sequard
– Dorsal columnar loss: bear in mind SCDC and syphilis
3. Distribution of loss
4. Symmetry of loss
– Peripheral neuropathies tend to be more symmetrical

Differential Diagnoses(supporting risk factors)
• Sudden onset– Vascular (stroke)– Trauma– Epilepsy (Todd’s paralysis)
• Subacute onset– Infection (TB abscess, meningitis)– Inflammation (lupus, MS)
• Gradual onset– Degeneration (PD)– Demyelination (MS)– SOL (hydrocephalus, neoplasm)
• Variable onset– Metabolic (hypoglycemia great mimicker of neuro conditions)– Toxic/paraneoplastic
