Do questions about brainstem anatomy cause you to suddenly get a case of locked in syndrome?!
Do you try to localize the lesion or just wait for the MR?
Cranial nerve deficits can help you localize!
Just remember:
There are 4 CNs in the pons w/4 above the pons & 4 below!
This can help you to localize superior/inferior in the brainstem by which CN is involved
This trick is from from Professor Peter Gates and you can find more at https://t.co/RrdUCQXvOK
And you can find more brainstem tricks on my prior post: https://t.co/1DsH0W5Ceo
Imagine heart surgery without cracking open the chest.
Sounds impossible, right?
But in 2002, Dr. Alain Cribier made it a reality with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
This procedure has saved the lives of patients previously deemed too weak to survive.🧵
The hardest part of being a doctor is seeing how many patients suffer because of poverty, not pathology.
You can treat TB with drugs.
But you can’t treat the fact that the patient sleeps in a 10x10 room with 6 family members and no ventilation.

Dr. Ananya Anand uses the Endo Mentor Suite to practice her colonoscopy skills in advance of the FES exam. Those virtual polyps don't stand a chance.
