When you’re asked to localize the lesion in a patient with aphasia, do you suddenly feel speechless?
At a loss for words to categorize the type of aphasia?
Never fear—here is the decision tree for patients w/aphasia and the associated anatomic correlates
Three main questions:
1. Fluency? Nonfluency indicates damage to the FRONTAL language regions anterior to the fissure of Rolando
2. Comprehension? Impaired comprehension indicates damage to the TEMPOROPARIETAL language regions posterior to the fissure of Rolando
3. Repetition? Impaired repetition indicates damage within the core PERISYLVIAN language zone
The answers will lead you both to the type of aphasia and the location of the lesion.
Keep this figure with you for quick reference—and then when you’re asked about a patient with aphasia, you will have a lot to say!
This week’s SPIN-POV: Post-LP CSF leaks are not uncommon in children. This child presented with a severe headache and MRI features of intracranial hypotension and was treated with targeted epidural blood patching. Using atraumatic pencil-point needles can reduce the risk.

Next on the table is the anatomical variations of the 1st extensor compartment tendons (DE Quervains tenosynovitis).
🌟 while performing USG for suspected DE Quervains, it is important to note the tenosynovial sheath around the tendons and their variations.
🌟 there are 3 types of tendon sheaths, and the presence/absence of septation is important to describe because it affects surgical/interventional management.

Outstanding presentation on brachial plexus by @sureshmukherji.
Simplified version of this complex neural highway that everyone tries to ignore be it Friday arvo or Monday morning.Hopefully no more!
Thank you so much @J_McCloskeyMD and @thecortexclub for putting this together.
BRACHIAL PLEXUS- ‘the BEAST’ !! Well may be not when you get to learn it from the GURU, the one and only, the esteemed @sureshmukherji
