1
Welcome back, friends. This is Dr. Rybinnik.
2
Today we'll talk about cerebrovascular  anatomy and vascular imaging.
3
This video is rated MS for medical  student, due to basic concepts, clear language and case based examples.
4
Medical student participation is advised.
5
I have no relevant financial  conflicts to disclose except to say that the case presented here  was modified for teaching purposes.
6
Meet Mr. S.E.
7
He is an 83 year old man with multiple vascular  risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease.
8
He suddenly develops disorientation, right sided visual disturbance,  and minor right sided weakness.
9
Because of his disorientation, some of  the history was obtained from the family.
10
He was trying to use his old phone at the time,  and couldn’t quite figure out how to unlock it, something he does without  issue several times per day.
11
Family denied him having recent  illness, prior thromboembolism On arrival to the emergency department… He is awake, alert, oriented  to self and place but not time He has mild word finding difficulties  and makes paraphasic errors.
12
He called my pen a “den”.
13
But his repetition is perfectly preserved, and  he was able to say “no ifs, ands, or buts. ” He has an obvious complete right  homonymous hemianopia (field cut).
14
There is no weakness on my examination.
15
In this talk, we will focus on localization  and not on pathology, so let me ask you this… Assuming these symptoms are  caused by a vascular lesion, what vascular territory is likely affected?
16
Keep the answer to yourself,  and we’ll revisit at the end.
17
That reminds me, we have to  review some vascular anatomy.
18
Pretend this patient is looking directly at you.
19
Patient’s left is on your right.
20
You can see the arch of the aorta  on the bottom giving rise to anterior and posterior circulation vessels.
21
Common carotid arteries typically arise from the brachiocephalic trunk on the right,  and aortic arch itself on the left.
22
They bifurcate into external  carotids (with branches in the neck) and the internal carotids  that ascend to the brain.
23
Vertebral arteries arise from subclavian branches  of the aorta and supply the posterior circulation.
24
Now let’s take a look at the intracranial  vasculature and the circle of Willis.
25
The two vertebral arteries we  spoke about are visible here with an important perforator called  Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (or PICA), which, you guessed it, mostly supplies the  posterior inferior cerebellum and lateral medulla.
26
Vetebrals then join together to form the basilar  artery, with major branches including Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (or AICA)  and Superior Cerebellar Artery (or SCA).
27
At its tip, the basilar artery bifurcates  into posterior cerebral arteries.
28
It sort of looks like a palm tree.
29
From the posterior circulation, posterior  communicating arteries connect the PCAs to internal carotid arteries  and the anterior circulation.
30
ICAs then bifurcate into the middle  cerebral and anterior cerebral arteries.
31
And anterior cerebral arteries are connected  by the anterior communicating artery.
32
By the way, there is quite a bit  of variability in the vasculature.
33
If you are watching this talk with two other  people, turn to your right, turn to the left.
34
Statistically, only one of you  has a complete circle of Willis.
35
Speaking of the cirle of Willis, time to  identify blood vessels in a real normal patient.
36
The patient is facing you and slightly up, and by  convention the patient’s left is on your right.
37
Pictured here are two common vascular  studies – brain MR angiogiogram without contrast on the left, and head CT  angiogram with contrast on the right.
38
Let’s start with the posterior circulation.
39
Vertebrals are… here.
40
PICA must be… here, since comes off of the vertebral artery.
41
The two vertebrals join to form the basilar… here.
42
The two major brainches of the basilar are… AICA, and SCA.
43
They are faintly seen on the MRA,  and I’m not seeing AICA on the CTA.
44
The basilar terminates into… PCAs.
45
Meanwhile in the anterior circulation,  ICAs split into ACAs and MCA.
46
And now, the neck vasculature. Same orientation as before.
47
MRA of the neck with gadolinium  contrast is on the left and CTA of the neck with iodine-based  contrast is on the right.
48
Incidentally, you might have picked  up on the fact that intracranial MRA does not need contrast and neck MRA does. That is because intracranial vasculature is fixed inside the skull but breathing and swallowing  introduces motion artifacts in the neck vessels.
49
There is also more tissue to  go through to capture vessels.
50
So, if you don’t inject contrast,  you generally get a blurry mess.
51
Ok, back to the vessels. Every time I call out a vessel name, point it out.
52
Aortic arch… gives rise to brachiocephalic trunk on the  right, which branches into the common carotid, and then internal carotid. On the patient’s left, the common carotid arises directly from the aortic arch. Common carotid bifurcates into the external carotid with branches in  the neck and the internal carotid.
53
Posterior circulation originates  from the subclavian arteries, which given rise to the vertebrals.
54
Speaking of vascular imaging, the most detailed vessel study is the conventional  (also known as the digital subtraction) angiogram.
55
This study is the gold standard  but also unfortunately invasive.
56
These imagines are obtained but injecting contrast from a catheter located inside  the internal carotid artery.
57
The patient’s right side is imaged first… and then the left.
58
After each arterial run, you see the  venous phase when blood exits the head.
59
So we briefly reviewed 3 imaging  modalities: MR angiogram, CT angiogram and conventional angiogram. All these imaging studies essentially paint the vessel lumen. MR angiogram  tends to be safer because it does not require radiation or contrast. It may even be safe in pregnancy.
60
MR angiogram can also be ordered with an  MRI of the brain making it more informative.
61
But, it’s slow and tends to  overestimate the degree of stenosis.
62
MRA is excellent in non-emergent  and outpatient setting.
63
CTA is very rapid and potentially more  accurate with slightly higher resolution.
64
So, it’s well suited to emergency  situations like stroke codes.
65
But it involves radiation and iodine-based  contrast which rarely causes acute kidney injury and anaphylaxis. So, CTA is potentially less safe.
66
Finally, conventional cerebral  angiogram is the gold standard, but also the most invasive  and expensive technique.
67
Nowadays, non-invasive imaging produces  results approximating conventional angiography.
68
You may notice that I am omitting  ultrasound technologies like carotid duplex and transcranial doppler. Those are excellent for screening and follow-up monitoring because they are  cheap and provide realtime physiologic data.
69
But, ultrasound sees a limited  portion of the vascular tree and is technologist dependent, which  limits its usefulness in diagnosis.
70
Now onto the main event, vascular territories.
71
For this last section of the talk, please  refer to the color legend on the right.
72
Anterior cerebral artery supply the medial  frontal lobe, highlighted in yellow.
73
So, ACA territory infarctions cause: Contralateral leg weakness, by damaging the medial primary motor cortex  of the frontal lobe when leg fibers reside.
74
Contralateral lower extremity sensory loss, by damaging the medial primary  sensory cortex in the parietal lobe An unmotivated state called abulia And anterograde amnesia, by damaging the cingulate  cortex which is part of the memory circuit Picture in your mind a patient  who is appears more forgetful, withdrawn, and slow to respond and dragging  a weak lower extremity when walking.
75
Middle cerebral artery territories in red are  by far the largest in the brain. If your brain is 1200cc, then half is being supplied by the  MCAs. MCA territory infarction may include: Contralateral hemiparesis,  from damage to the primary motor cortex and descending motor pathways. Internal capsule for example pictured here.
76
Contralateral facial paresis, again  from damage to corticobulbar fibers Contralateral gaze paresis, from  damage to the frontal eye fields.
77
Basically, if you infarct the left frontal lobe,  you would not be able to look to the right, causing a right gaze paresis  and left gaze deviation.
78
Aphasia, with damage to dominant  frontal and temporal lobes where expressive and receptive language pathways reside.
79
Contralateral hemisensory deficits with  damage to the primary sensory cortex in the parietal lobe and ascending sensory pathways Field cut with damage of both  temporal and parietal optic radiations And finally neglect with damage  of the non-dominant parietal lobe A patient with MCA occlusion does not  necessarily have to have all these deficits.
80
But if you now that aphasia is MCA territory, maybe that would prompt you to look  for field cut and gaze paresis.
81
A quick note: The head of caudate is supplied  by a tiny branch off of the ACA called the recurrent artery of Heubner.
82
Don’t memorize that name. Why is that important?
83
Well, if you see a comma-shaped infarct like  this, both ACA and MCA territories are affected.
84
Which means that their parent vessel,  the ICA was probably involved.
85
An embolus likely traveled to the ICA terminus  and transiently occluded both the ACA and MCA.
86
Posterior cerebral artery supplies  the inferior medial temporal lobe and the occipital lobe. But here  is the trouble with the PCA.
87
PCA supplies the thalamus. Thalami are the switchboards of the brain that receive and send projections  to all the lobes and then some.
88
So, PCA strokes can mimic MCA strokes. Patients get contralateral hemisensory loss from damage to sensory  nuclei in the posterior thalamus, contralateral hemianopia  from occipital lobe damage, rarely neglect with non-dominant thalamic damage. Thalamic neglect is clinically indistinguishable from parietal lobe neglect but  improves much more quickly.
89
Transcortical aphasia with  dominant thalamic damage.
90
Transcortical aphasias are less severe  than the classical Broca’s and Wernicke’s with intact repetition. And global cognitive issues likely behavioral abnormalities,  confusion, and even memory difficulties.
91
To make things even more difficult, PCA is the terminal branch of the  basilar so it supplies the midbrain.
92
Midbrain is brainstem. Overlaid in blue are sample strokes.
93
Damaging the motor fibers in the cerebral  peduncle causes contralateral hemiparesis.
94
Contralateral ataxia can result  from damage to the red nucleus, which is part of the cerebellar pathway.
95
And damaged oculomotor nucleus  causes ipsilateral CN3 palsy.
96
Thankfully, superior cerebellar artery is easy.
97
It supplies anterior superior cerebellum,  and infarctions here cause ipsilateral ataxia (the cerebellar fibers are  damaged after double crossing).
98
The basilar artery supplies… wait for  it… the base of the brain, well mostly the pons and some anterior medulla to be precise.
99
Damaging the anterior medial pons results in  contralateral hemiparesis and facial paresis.
100
Intranuclear ophthalmoplegia is caused by  interrupting the medial longitudinal fasciculus – the connection between the pontine paramedian  reticular formation (horizontal gaze center) and the oculomotor nucleus in the midbrain. Basically, when looking in a particular direction one eye goes out but the other does  not follow because it never gets the command.
101
Spinothalamic tract damage causes  contralateral hemisensory loss.
102
Patients with damaged lateral pons and cerebellar  peduncles will have contralateral ataxia.
103
Finally, there are several cranial nerve nuclei that when lesioned will  produce ipsilateral lesions.
104
Pontine paramedian reticular formation  damage will cause gaze weakness.
105
And lower motor neuron type facial paresis and sensory loss results from damage to 7th 5th  cranial nerve nuclei in the lateral pons.
106
There is a lot going on in the pons, so I tried to  illustrate possible strokes with green highlights.
107
Medial pontine stroke cause weakness  and intranuclear ophthalmoplegia, and lateral pontine strokes cause everything else. Bottom line, if you see a patient with ataxic hemiparesis on one side, start looking for eye  movement abnormalities, like gaze deviation to the side of weakness or intranuclear ophthalmoplegia. AICA is a major perforator off the basilar artery.
108
It supplies the lateral pons, cerebellar  peduncles, and the anterior inferior cerebellum.
109
So, like super cerebellar artery stroke,  AICA stroke can cause ipsilateral ataxia.
110
It can also damage lateral pons causing facial  sensory loss from trigeminal nucleus damage, and Horner syndrome for sympathetic damage. However, AICA has an interesting party trick – strokes can cause hearing loss. Hearing pathways are bilateral in the CNS, so it is impossible to cause  a stroke from a central lesion.
111
But AICA gives rise to labyrinthine  artery which supplies the inner ear.
112
Don’t bother memorizing it. It is just a fun fact but incredibly rare.
113
I am a stroke neurologist and  saw this only once in a decade.
114
Your emotional ordeal, like this talk will  be over as soon as we discuss the medulla.
115
Here, the lateral medulla is where the action is.
116
The lateral medulla and the posterior  inferior cerebellum is supplied by the posterior inferior cerebellar artery,  which is a branch of the vertebral.
117
So, if PICA is involved, you can bet that  vertebral artery lesion is likely responsible.
118
The lateral medullar contains: The contralateral spinothalamic tract Ipsilateral cerebellar pathways in the inferior  cerebellar peduncle and vestibular nuclei Ipsilateral trigeminal nucleus Ipsilateral sympathetics Nucleus of solitary tract that  controls special sensation like taste And nucleus ambiguous which donates  motor fibers to cranial nerves 9 and 10.
119
So a lateral medullary lesions will  cause contralateral hemisensory loss, ipsilateral ataxia, ipsilateral facial numbness,  Horner, taste loss and dysarthria/dysphagia.
120
Note what is missing from this list: Weakness.
121
Medial medulla is supplied by the basilar artery and considering that you probably  have PTST from all that pontine review, it should be fairly obvious what would  happen when the basilar artery is involved.
122
People with lateral medullary stroke will  be ataxic, numb, dysarthric but not be weak.
123
Congratulations, we are done!
124
And now for a quick review with MRI diffusion  weighted imaging examples of major strokes.
125
You are going to have to help out with this: PICA strokes causes… ataxic, dysarthric patient with a  droopy eyelid on the same side and hemisensory loss on the opposite side. They will have difficulty swallowing.
126
AICA stroke causes… a patient to have ipsilateral ataxia  and maybe some ipsilateral hearing loss What happens when you knock out  one of these basilar perforators and affect the anteromedial pons? That’s right, contralateral weakness and maybe intranuclear ophthalmoplegia if  the lesion reaches far enough dorsally.
127
SCA stroke causes… Correct. Ipsilateral ataxia.
128
In practice it is very difficult to  differentiate AICA and SCA strokes.
129
But who even cares? Both AICA and SCA are  branches of the basilar artery – giant perforators of sorts. So stroke in both of these territories will likely be caused by the  same mechanisms and have the same treatments.
130
PCA strokes will cause which deficits? That’s a trick question.
131
It depends on whether or not midbrain is involved.
132
Most commonly, this type of stroke will just  affect the occipital lobe and the thalamus.
133
So, when you see a patient with a  field cut, look for cognitive deficits.
134
Carotid occlusion will cause a large stroke  comprising of ACA and MCA territories.
135
Remind me what does a patient  with an ACA stroke look like?
136
That’s right, abulic, amnestic  and dragging a leg when walking.
137
And what are the deficits of a patient  presenting with a right MCA syndrome like pictured here? Right.
138
Contralateral weakness involving the  face, gaze paresis, field cut and neglect.
139
Remember that with MCA occlusion does not  have to present as a complete MCA syndrome.
140
When a division (M2 branch) is occluded, only half  of the MCA will be affected. You get the idea.
141
I guess in the end you start  thinking about the beginning… Patient S. E.
142
So, which one of these is the vascular  territory of our patient’s stroke?
143
Remember that he had disorientation, mild word finding difficulties, paraphasic  errors, and right homonymous hemianopia.
144
Well someone has been paying attention.  Its an acute left PCA stroke, which involves the inferior medial temporal lobe  and the occipital lobe, and the the thalamus.
145
Looking at this patient’s CTA, you can  plainly see that his left posterior cerebral artery is occluded. No surprise there.
146
But there is just one more thing.
147
You have been at least partially  oriented during this talk.
148
So you remember that PCA is posterior circulation. Posterior circulation is comprised of subclavians off of the aorta the left and brachiocephalic  trunk on the right, and their vertebral artery branches that eventually join  together to form the basilar artery.
149
Is there another problem with the  patient’s posterior circulation?
150
How about now?
151
Yes our 83 may had an acute left posterior  cerebral artery occlusion because of an artery-to-artery embolism from a left vertebral  artery origin plaque causing severe stenosis.
152
And that’s all I have for now. I feel like I should end with my customary disclaimer that this is an oversimplification. It’s a good beginner’s guide with some intermediate stuff sprinkled in. Thank you for indulging me, and we’ll talk again soon. Bye.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
