In a patient with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy, identify the neurodiagnostic tool that would be most useful for localizing the seizure focus.
MRI
EEG
CT scan
EMG
A 30-year-old woman presents with ptosis, diplopia, and fluctuating limb weakness. EMG shows decremental response on repetitive nerve stimulation. Which is the most likely diagnosis?
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome
Myasthenia gravis
Guillain-Barré syndrome
Muscular dystrophy
A 25-year-old patient presents with episodes of loss of consciousness and staring spells. EEG shows 3 Hz generalized spike-and-wave discharges. Indicate the type of seizure does this pattern suggest?
Tonic-clonic seizure
Absence seizure
Focal seizure with secondary generalization
Myoclonic seizure
Which of the following best explains the use of EMG in diagnosing neuromuscular junction disorders?
Detects demyelination
Measures synaptic transmission and muscle response
Visualizes brain structures
Records cortical electrical activity
A patient presents with sudden hearing loss and vertigo. Auditory testing shows absent cochlear microphonics. Indicate structure is most likely affected.
Cochlear hair cells
Auditory cortex
Vestibular nuclei
Eustachian tube
A patient has gradual peripheral vision loss, high intraocular pressure, and optic disc cupping. Infer the primary pathophysiological mechanism.
Retinal detachment
Increased aqueous humor
Macular degeneration
Optic neuritis
A patient presents with sudden-onset left-sided weakness. CT scan shows no hemorrhage. Which imaging modality is most appropriate next to identify acute ischemic stroke?
Non-contrast CT
PCET
MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging
CT Scan
In the evaluation of a patient with suspected peripheral neuropathy, which combination of tests best differentiates between demyelinating and axonal neuropathies?
MRI and CSF analysis
EMG and NCS
EEG and evoked potentials
PET scan and MRI
Which of the following imaging findings is most indicative of multiple sclerosis?
Cortical atrophy in the temporal lobe
White matter plaques in periventricular regions
Basal ganglia hyperintensity
Diffuse cortical calcification
Which evoked potential is most sensitive in detecting early optic nerve demyelination in multiple sclerosis?
Brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)
Visual evoked potential (VEP)
Somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP)
Motor evoked potential (MEP)
