Neurolocalization Cases

If you have a dog that has non-ambulatory paraplegia, where are the possible places to localize this lesion?

T3-L3

L4-S3

If a patent is non-ambulatory paraplegia, intact spinal reflexes, cutaneous trunci cut off at L1, a large bladder, hard to express, and hyperesthesia at TL junction, where would you localize the lesion?

T3-L3

If an animal has pelvic limb ataxia and paraparesis, where would you localize the lesion?

T3-L4

L4-S3

If there are postural reaction deficits in the pelvic limb, where can you localize the lesion?

Forebrain

Brainstem

C1-C5

C6-T2

T3-L3

L4-S3

If there are decreased withdrawl reflexes in the pelvic limb, where can you localize the lesion?

L4-S3

If there is fecal incontinence associated with a neurological condition, where does this lesion localize/

pudendal never (S1, S2, S3)

If there is a patient that comes in with an intention tremor, where would you localize this lesion?

cerebellum

If there is ataxia without paresis, this is a characteristic of what type of lesion?

cerebellar and peripheral vestibular

You have a cat come in with a wide base stance, resting tremor, ataxia x4, hypermetria of TL and intention tremors. Where would you localize the lesion?

cerebellum

T/F If there is a problem with the facial nerve the issues will always be contralateral

Fasle, ipselateral

If there is only one trigeminal nerve that is affected, can the jaw still close?

yes

You have a dog that comes in and has a jaw that is hanging open, when offered food, dog is interested but can't prehend it, and when offered water, dog laps it but most of water drips to floor. Where would you localize the lesion?

Bilateral Trigeminal N

You have a kitten that come in with a left head told and positional ventrolateral strabismus in L eye. Where would you localize the lesion?

L vestibular

T/F A positional nystagmus is always a signs of vestibular disease

True

If an animal comes in with a history of fly biting and a history of seizures, where would you localize the lesion?

forebrain

If a patient is mentally dull, where can you localize the lesion?

forebrain or brainstem

T/F If the patient is doing circles, it circles TOWARD the lesion

True

If there are postural deficits and it is worse on one side, how would you localize this lesion?

It could be either contralateral forebrain OR ipsilateral brainstem

(if it is worse on the left it would be right forebrain or left brainstem)

Where would you localize a lesion if there is a vertical nystagmus?

central vestibular

If you have a patient that comes in and has a choppy TL gait, paraparesis and pelvic limbs ataxia. Where would you localize the lesion?

C6-T2

If there are postural deficits X4, where are some places that you could localize the lesion?

Forebrain

Brainstem

C1-C5

C6-T2

If there are decreased withdrawl deficients in the TL, where can you localize the lesion?

C6-T2

If there is an animal that comes in with a "two engine gate", where would you localize the lesion?

C6-T2

If you have a dog that comes in with a wide base stance, ataxia x4, a head tilt to the left, but is otherwise normal where would you localize the lesion?

If there was no head tilt, where would you localize the lesion?

left peripheral vestibular

cerebellum
