Failure of the posterior portions of vertebral elements to fuse without protrusion of meninges or neural elements is called what?
Meningomyelocele
Meningocele
Spina bifida occulta
Syringohydromyelia
Spina bifida cystica
Regarding cerebral autoregulation in adults, which one of the following statements is LEAST accurate?
Increasing hypoxia results in increasing cerebral blood flow
Cerebral blood flow is relatively constant over a range of cerebral perfusion pressures from 50 to 150 mmHg
Cerebral blood flow is directly proportional to cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) when CPP is greater than 150 mmHg or less than 50 mmHg
A pCO2 of 4.0 kPa (30 mmHg) is associated with an average cerebral blood flow of approximately 50 ml/100 g/min
Cerebral blood flow = cerebral perfusion pressure/cerebral vascular resistance
A70 kg man has lost 1.7 L of blood from a stab wound. Which one of the following is the LEAST likely to be showing?
Respiratory rate 20-30
Narrow pulse pressure
Urine output 5-15 ml/h
Confusion
Pulse rate 120-140 bpm
A 61-year-old male with a glioblastoma multiforme came with confusion and left hemiparesis. The doctor explained to the family that he will need a surgery. As you take the family back to his bedside, they ask you not to tell the patient about the likely diagnosis. Which one of the following principles would be most compromised by operating on him at this point in time?
Autonomy
Non-maleficence
Justice
Beneficence
Futility
What is the laboratory manifestations of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
Decreased fibrinogen level
Shorten PT
Shorten PTT
Thrombocytosis
Unfragmented RBCs
Which of the following exam findings best distinguishes an upper motor lesion of the facial nerve pathway from a lower motor lesion of the facial nerve?
In upper motor lesions, both sides of the face will be affected
In upper motor lesions, only the lower part of the face will be affected
Hearing loss is more common with upper motor lesions
Loss of taste sensation is rare in lower motor lesions
In lower motor lesions, both sides of the face will be affected
What incomplete spinal cord injury syndrome is associated with a poor prognosis for recovery and dissociated sensory loss?
Central cord syndrome
Anterior cord syndrome
Brown-Séquard syndrome
Posterior cord syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome
What involuntary movement disorder typically persists during sleep?
Hemifacial spasm
Blepharospasm
Athetosis
Facial myokymia
Vasospasm
What type of hematoma occurs in the loose connec- tive tissues of the scalp that may cross sutures, may require blood transfusions, and does not calcify?
Subgaleal hematoma
Subperiosteal hematoma
Subdural hematoma
Temporalis contusion
Epidural hematoma
A 43-year-old patient presents with a large, enhancing mass with a necrotic center with mass effect and significant vasogenic edema. Following resection, histology demonstrated neovasculariza- tion with endothelial proliferation and pseudopal- isading around areas of necrosis. Histopathology was significant for a TP53 mutation. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Primary glioblastoma
Secondary glioblastoma
Rhabdoid meningioma
Medulloblastoma
Chordoma
What vitamin should be coadministered with iso- niazid to prevent neuropathy?
Vitamin A
Vitamin B12
Vitamin C
Vitamin B6
Vitamin E
A 35-year-old patient admitted to the neurology ICU following polytrauma becomes hypotensive. What hemodynamic parameters are compatible with hypovolemic shock?
Decreased right atrial pressure, decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreased cardiac output, and increased systemic vascular resistance
Normal or increased right atrial pressure, increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreased cardiac output, and increased systemic vascular resistance
Variable right atrial pressure, variable pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, increased cardiac output, and decreased systemic vascular resistance
Increased right atrial pressure, normal or decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreased cardiac output, and increased systemic vascular resistance
Increased right atrial pressure, increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreased cardiac output, and increased systemic vascular resistance
What inhalational neuroanesthetic does not reduce cerebral metabolism?
Halothane
Enflurane
Nitrous oxide
Isoflurane
Desflurane
A 2-month-old baby has a slowly growing midline mass over the anterior fontanelle, as shown in the MRI in this image. The most likely diagnosis is:
