“Dome protection,” or placing coils in the dome of a ruptured aneurysm, can prevent rehemorrhage but can complicate subsequent clipping. Coils ramp clips down onto the neck & constrict/block the parent artery. Here, I used posterior clinoid to anchor the clip & keep it from sliding…

🧠 Neuroanatomy at a Glance

⸻

📍 Cortical Areas Simplified

➊ Frontal Lobe
• Motor Cortex → Voluntary movement
• Broca’s Area → Speech production (left hemisphere)
• Prefrontal Cortex → Judgment, planning

➋ Parietal Lobe
• Sensory Cortex → Touch, temperature, proprioception
• Sensory Association Area → Object recognition

➌ Temporal Lobe
• Auditory Cortex → Hearing
• Wernicke’s Area → Language comprehension (left hemisphere)

➍ Occipital Lobe
• Visual Cortex → Processes visual input

⸻

🗣️ Aphasia Breakdown

➊ Broca’s (Expressive) Aphasia
- Location: Frontal lobe
- Symptoms:
•Struggles to form words (non-fluent)
•Understands speech but can’t reply clearly
•Frustrated but aware

➋ Wernicke’s (Receptive) Aphasia
- Location: Temporal lobe
- Symptoms:
•Fluent but nonsensical speech (“word salad”)
•Can’t comprehend spoken/written words
•Unaware of errors (anosognosia)

Mnemonic:
•“Broca = Broken speech”
•“Wernicke = What did you say?”

⸻

👶 Homunculus Cheat Sheet

• Face & Hands → Large lateral representation
• Legs → Small medial area
• Stroke Clues:
•MCA stroke: Affects face/arm
•ACA stroke: Affects legs

Fun Fact: Tongue movement is controlled by both brain hemispheres!

⸻

⚡ Quick Clinical Pearls

• Frontal Lobe Damage → Disinhibition, personality changes
• Parietal Lobe Lesion → Neglect syndrome (ignores one side)
• Temporal Lobe Seizure → Smell/taste hallucinations

#STROKE Guidelines in Action 🗒️: For mild non-disabling stroke ≤4.5h, IVT is not recommended. DAPT should be considered to reduce early recurrence. Ticagrelor + aspirin may be an option in selected patients with noncardioembolic stroke. https://t.co/CHqUwKqjhr
