Anatomy
The Skull
The Brain
– The brain is one of the largest
and most complex organs in the
human body.
It is made up of more than 100
billion nerves that communicate
in trillions of connections called
synapses.
Parts of the
Brain
Brain Lobes
Deep
Structures in
the Brain
Cranial Nerves
– The cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves
that arise directly from the brain.
– The first two nerves arise from the cerebrum,
whereas the remaining ten emerge from the brain
stem.
Cranial
Nerves
Ascending and
Descending
Tracts
Ascending Tracts
– Lateral Spinothalamic Tract- pain and
temperature
– Anterior Spinothalamic Tract -touch, pressure
– Dorsal White Column - conscious proprioceptive
sense, discriminative touch, vibratory sense
– Ventral and Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tracts - muscle
joint information from muscle spindles, tendons
and joint receptors of trunk and lower limbs
– Transmit unconscious proprioceptive information
to the cerebellum
Descending Tracts
– Lateral Reticulospinal Tract –Important in
reciprocal movements required for walking and
involved in postural control responses
– Lateral Corticospinal Tract –Fine skilled
movements
– Rubrospinal Tract - Innervates UE flexors
– Vestibulospinal Tract- relay the signal to the motor
neurons in antigravity muscles. These antigravity muscles
are extensor muscles in the legs that help maintain
upright and balanced posture.
– Tectospinal Tract- Involved in orientation of head and
eyes (turning the eyes and the head) to contralateral
visual stimuli
Arteries of the
Brain
What is a Stroke?
– Stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain
function(s) due to disturbance in the blood
supply to the brain.
– Can either be Ischeamic (most common) or
Haemorrhagic
Types of Ischaemic
Stroke
There are two types of Ischaemic
Stroke
 Embolic Stroke
 Thrombotic Stroke
Types of
Hemorrhagic
Stroke
– There are two causes of
Hemorrhagic stroke:
– Intracerebral Hemorrhage
– Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Anterior
Cerebral Artery
(ACA) Infarct
– Stroke in the anterior
cerebral artery results in
opposite leg weakness
– Head and eyes may
deviate toward lesion
(away from weakness)
– Larger infarct will include upper limb with shoulder weakness >
Hand weakness and sensory loss is also present
– Reduced Verbal expression
Middle Cerebral
Artery (MCA)
Infarct
– Contralateral hemiplegia
– Deviation of Head and
Eyes toward stroke (away
from hemiplegia)
– Contralateral
hemianesthesia
– Broca’s or Wernicke
Aphasia
Posterior
Cerebral Artery
(PCA) Infarct
Sensory Syndrome
– Hypesthesia
– Dysesthesia
Disorders of memory
Visual Disturbance
Hemiplegia
Right Brain damage Left Brain damage
Paralyzed left side: hemiplegia Paralyzed right side: hemiplegia
Left sided neglect Impaired speech/ language
aphasias
Spatial –perceptual deficits Impaired right/left discrimination
Tends to deny or minimize
problems
Slow performance
Rapid performance, short
attention span
Aware of deficits: depression,
anxiety
Impulsive, safety problems Impaired comprehension related
to language and math
Impaired judgement
Epidemiology
– According to the latest WHO data published in may
2014 Stroke Deaths in Jamaica reached 3,243 or
18.13% of total deaths.
– The age adjusted Death Rate is 115.44 per 100,000
of population ranks Jamaica #63 in the world
Causes
Non- Modifiable Modifiable
Age > 65 HTN
Sex: M > F Cigarette Smoking
Race: Black> White> Asian High cholesterol
Family History of Stroke DM
Obesity
Pathophysiology
– Pathophysiology of Ischeamic Stroke
– Occurs when there is lack of sufficient blood flow
to perfuse cerebral tissue, due to narrowed or
blocked arteries leading to or within the brain.
– Narrowing is commonly the result of
atherosclerosis. As the plaques grow in size, the
blood vessel becomes narrowed and the blood
flow to the area beyond is reduced.
– Damaged areas of an atherosclerotic plaque can cause a
blood clot to form, which blocks the blood vessel
– blood clots or debris from elsewhere in the body,
typically the heart valves, travel through the circulatory
system and block narrower blood vessels.
– Pathophysiology of Haemorrhagic stroke
Haemorrhagic strokes are due to the rupture of a
blood vessels leading to compression of brain tissue
from an expanding haematoma
– the pressure may lead to a loss of blood supply to
affected tissue with resulting infarction, and the blood
released by brain haemorrhage appears to have direct
toxic effects on brain tissue and vasculature.
Signs and Symptoms
– Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm,
or leg, especially on one side of the body
– Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty
understanding speech
– Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
– Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of
balance, or lack of coordination
– Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Diagnosis
– Medical and Physical Examination
– Neurological Assessment
–Brain Computed
Tomography
Magnetic
Resonance Imaging
Magnetic Resonance
Angiography
Computed
Tomography
Angiography
Carotid
Ultrasound
Carotid
Angiography
– Heart Tests
Electrocardiogram
Echocardiography
– Blood Test can also help with diagnosing stroke
Blood Glucose Test
Low blood glucose levels may cause symptoms
similar to those of a stroke.
Platelet Count
Abnormal platelet levels may be a sign of a bleeding
disorder (not enough clotting) or a thrombotic
disorder (too much clotting).
Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial
Thromboplastin Time (PTT)
Measure how long it takes for your blood to clot.
Complications
– Complications that may occur within 72 hours
of stroke include the following:
– Cerebral swelling (edema)
– Increased intracranial pressure (ICP)
– Intracerebral haemorrhage
– Seizures
Complications ( con’td)
– Bedsores
– Blood clots
– Fibrosis of connective tissue resulting in decreased
mobility
– Malnutrition
– Pneumonia
– Urinary tract infections (UTIs; if a catheter is required)
– Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
– Shoulder Pain
– Contractures
Differential Diagnosis
– Seizures
– Brain Tumors
– Migraine
Acute Management
– The goal for the acute management of patients
with stroke is to stabilize the patient and to
complete initial evaluation and assessment,
including imaging and laboratory studies, within a
short time frame.
– Critical decisions focus on the need for
intubation, blood pressure control, and
determination of risk/benefit for thrombolytic
intervention
Medical Management
– Anti coagulant medications
Anticoagulants such as Warfarin prevent blood clots
from forming and keep existing blood clots from
getting bigger.
– Anti Platelet Medications
Anti platelet medications such as Aspirin keep
platelets in the blood from sticking together.
– Statins
Statins lower cholesterol and the risk for another stroke
– atorvastatin (Lipitor)
– lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor)
– pravastatin (Pravachol)
– rosuvastatin (Crestor)
– simvastatin (Zocor)
Blood Pressure Medications
– Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
– Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
– Beta- blockers
– Calcium channel blockers
– Diuretics
– Medicines used to treat depression and pain may
also be prescribed after a stroke.
Surgical Management
– Hemorrhagic Stroke
Aneurysm Clipping
Aneurysm clipping is done to block off the aneurysm from the
blood vessels in the brain. This surgery helps prevent further
leaking of blood from the aneurysm.
– It also can help prevent the
aneurysm from
bursting again.
– Coil Embolization
is a less complex procedure for
treating an aneurysm.
– Arteriovenous Malformation
Repair
Physical
Therapy
Management
– Increase strength
and endurance
Improve balance
– Improve
Coordination
Improve Mobility
– Reduce Spasticity
– Teaching patients
how to transfer
– Bed Mobility training
– Wheelchair
mobility training
– Prevent Pressure Sores
– Prevent Contractures
Prognosis
– Many people recover completely after a stroke.
For others, it can take many months to recover
from a stroke.
– Physical Therapy and other retraining methods
are greatly improving rehabilitation and recovery
– In general, the more deficits or loss of ability (in
walking or talking) individuals have when they
arrive in the emergency department, the worse
the outcome.
CASE STUDY
Demographic Information
– Name: Pt X
– Age: 66 years old
– Gender: M
– Dx: B Ischaemic Stroke
– Date : January 4, 2017
Subjective
PC: Pt complaints of weakness of the L leg
– HPC: Daughter- In- Law reports that the pt who lives
alone had a stroke on 4/9/2015. The pt attempted to
call a friend at the time that the stroke occurred but
he was unable to speak. The friend then went to the
house and called the pt but there was no response.
He then called other friends and police who came
and knocked down the door to get into the house.
– He was on the floor responsive and had an
incoherent speech but confused. He was taken to
KPH where he was placed on IV. His daughter- in- law
received a call the next day that he was at KPH. 3/52
after being admitted to KPH, the pt did a CT scan
which showed that he had B Ischaemic stroke. On
October 17, 2015, the pt got a 2nd stroke and seizure
while on the ward at KPH.
– The 2nd stroke led to L leg weakness whereas the
1st stroke had cause weakness on the R side. His
daughter-in – law felt that the hospital was not
managing him properly so she transferred him to
UHWI where he did a CT scan on the lungs and
found out that he had PE in B lungs.
– CT scan was also done on the brain which
revealed that he had Multiple Infarction in the
brain. He was admitted to UHWI for 3/52. He
received chest physiotherapy, warfarin and
antibiotics. While at UHWI, the PT had four
seizures. Upon D/C, the pt was followed up at
Medical Clinic but is now D/C.
– The daughter-in-law attempted to get PT for him
privately after being D/C from UHWI but could
not afford it and it wasn't until December 2016
after being recommended by a friend that she
come to clinic with the pt at SJGRC and referred
for out pt therapy

Case presentation on ischeamic ( Ischemic) stroke

  • 1. Case Presentation on Ischeamic Stroke By: Kimberly Walsh SPT Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre Kingston Jamaica
  • 2. – Anatomy – Definition – Epidemiology – Causes – Pathophysiology – Signs and Symptoms
  • 3. – Diagnosis – Complications – Differential Diagnosis – Management  Acute Mx  Medical Mx  Surgical Mx  Physical Therapy Management
  • 7. The Brain – The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses.
  • 8.
  • 11. Cranial Nerves – The cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves that arise directly from the brain. – The first two nerves arise from the cerebrum, whereas the remaining ten emerge from the brain stem.
  • 13.
  • 15. Ascending Tracts – Lateral Spinothalamic Tract- pain and temperature – Anterior Spinothalamic Tract -touch, pressure – Dorsal White Column - conscious proprioceptive sense, discriminative touch, vibratory sense
  • 16. – Ventral and Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tracts - muscle joint information from muscle spindles, tendons and joint receptors of trunk and lower limbs – Transmit unconscious proprioceptive information to the cerebellum
  • 17. Descending Tracts – Lateral Reticulospinal Tract –Important in reciprocal movements required for walking and involved in postural control responses – Lateral Corticospinal Tract –Fine skilled movements – Rubrospinal Tract - Innervates UE flexors
  • 18. – Vestibulospinal Tract- relay the signal to the motor neurons in antigravity muscles. These antigravity muscles are extensor muscles in the legs that help maintain upright and balanced posture. – Tectospinal Tract- Involved in orientation of head and eyes (turning the eyes and the head) to contralateral visual stimuli
  • 20. What is a Stroke?
  • 21. – Stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. – Can either be Ischeamic (most common) or Haemorrhagic
  • 22.
  • 23. Types of Ischaemic Stroke There are two types of Ischaemic Stroke  Embolic Stroke  Thrombotic Stroke
  • 24. Types of Hemorrhagic Stroke – There are two causes of Hemorrhagic stroke: – Intracerebral Hemorrhage – Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
  • 25. Anterior Cerebral Artery (ACA) Infarct – Stroke in the anterior cerebral artery results in opposite leg weakness – Head and eyes may deviate toward lesion (away from weakness)
  • 26. – Larger infarct will include upper limb with shoulder weakness > Hand weakness and sensory loss is also present – Reduced Verbal expression
  • 27. Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) Infarct – Contralateral hemiplegia – Deviation of Head and Eyes toward stroke (away from hemiplegia) – Contralateral hemianesthesia – Broca’s or Wernicke Aphasia
  • 28. Posterior Cerebral Artery (PCA) Infarct Sensory Syndrome – Hypesthesia – Dysesthesia Disorders of memory Visual Disturbance
  • 29. Hemiplegia Right Brain damage Left Brain damage Paralyzed left side: hemiplegia Paralyzed right side: hemiplegia Left sided neglect Impaired speech/ language aphasias Spatial –perceptual deficits Impaired right/left discrimination Tends to deny or minimize problems Slow performance Rapid performance, short attention span Aware of deficits: depression, anxiety Impulsive, safety problems Impaired comprehension related to language and math Impaired judgement
  • 30. Epidemiology – According to the latest WHO data published in may 2014 Stroke Deaths in Jamaica reached 3,243 or 18.13% of total deaths. – The age adjusted Death Rate is 115.44 per 100,000 of population ranks Jamaica #63 in the world
  • 31. Causes Non- Modifiable Modifiable Age > 65 HTN Sex: M > F Cigarette Smoking Race: Black> White> Asian High cholesterol Family History of Stroke DM Obesity
  • 32. Pathophysiology – Pathophysiology of Ischeamic Stroke – Occurs when there is lack of sufficient blood flow to perfuse cerebral tissue, due to narrowed or blocked arteries leading to or within the brain.
  • 33. – Narrowing is commonly the result of atherosclerosis. As the plaques grow in size, the blood vessel becomes narrowed and the blood flow to the area beyond is reduced.
  • 34. – Damaged areas of an atherosclerotic plaque can cause a blood clot to form, which blocks the blood vessel – blood clots or debris from elsewhere in the body, typically the heart valves, travel through the circulatory system and block narrower blood vessels.
  • 35. – Pathophysiology of Haemorrhagic stroke Haemorrhagic strokes are due to the rupture of a blood vessels leading to compression of brain tissue from an expanding haematoma
  • 36. – the pressure may lead to a loss of blood supply to affected tissue with resulting infarction, and the blood released by brain haemorrhage appears to have direct toxic effects on brain tissue and vasculature.
  • 37. Signs and Symptoms – Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body – Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech – Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
  • 38. – Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination – Sudden severe headache with no known cause
  • 39. Diagnosis – Medical and Physical Examination – Neurological Assessment
  • 48. – Blood Test can also help with diagnosing stroke Blood Glucose Test Low blood glucose levels may cause symptoms similar to those of a stroke.
  • 49. Platelet Count Abnormal platelet levels may be a sign of a bleeding disorder (not enough clotting) or a thrombotic disorder (too much clotting).
  • 50. Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) Measure how long it takes for your blood to clot.
  • 51. Complications – Complications that may occur within 72 hours of stroke include the following: – Cerebral swelling (edema) – Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) – Intracerebral haemorrhage – Seizures
  • 52. Complications ( con’td) – Bedsores – Blood clots – Fibrosis of connective tissue resulting in decreased mobility – Malnutrition – Pneumonia – Urinary tract infections (UTIs; if a catheter is required)
  • 53. – Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – Shoulder Pain – Contractures
  • 54. Differential Diagnosis – Seizures – Brain Tumors – Migraine
  • 55. Acute Management – The goal for the acute management of patients with stroke is to stabilize the patient and to complete initial evaluation and assessment, including imaging and laboratory studies, within a short time frame.
  • 56. – Critical decisions focus on the need for intubation, blood pressure control, and determination of risk/benefit for thrombolytic intervention
  • 57. Medical Management – Anti coagulant medications Anticoagulants such as Warfarin prevent blood clots from forming and keep existing blood clots from getting bigger.
  • 58. – Anti Platelet Medications Anti platelet medications such as Aspirin keep platelets in the blood from sticking together.
  • 59. – Statins Statins lower cholesterol and the risk for another stroke – atorvastatin (Lipitor) – lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor) – pravastatin (Pravachol) – rosuvastatin (Crestor) – simvastatin (Zocor)
  • 60. Blood Pressure Medications – Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) – Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors – Beta- blockers – Calcium channel blockers – Diuretics
  • 61. – Medicines used to treat depression and pain may also be prescribed after a stroke.
  • 62. Surgical Management – Hemorrhagic Stroke Aneurysm Clipping Aneurysm clipping is done to block off the aneurysm from the blood vessels in the brain. This surgery helps prevent further leaking of blood from the aneurysm.
  • 63. – It also can help prevent the aneurysm from bursting again.
  • 64. – Coil Embolization is a less complex procedure for treating an aneurysm.
  • 72. – Bed Mobility training
  • 74. – Prevent Pressure Sores – Prevent Contractures
  • 75. Prognosis – Many people recover completely after a stroke. For others, it can take many months to recover from a stroke. – Physical Therapy and other retraining methods are greatly improving rehabilitation and recovery
  • 76. – In general, the more deficits or loss of ability (in walking or talking) individuals have when they arrive in the emergency department, the worse the outcome.
  • 78. Demographic Information – Name: Pt X – Age: 66 years old – Gender: M – Dx: B Ischaemic Stroke – Date : January 4, 2017
  • 79. Subjective PC: Pt complaints of weakness of the L leg
  • 80. – HPC: Daughter- In- Law reports that the pt who lives alone had a stroke on 4/9/2015. The pt attempted to call a friend at the time that the stroke occurred but he was unable to speak. The friend then went to the house and called the pt but there was no response. He then called other friends and police who came and knocked down the door to get into the house.
  • 81. – He was on the floor responsive and had an incoherent speech but confused. He was taken to KPH where he was placed on IV. His daughter- in- law received a call the next day that he was at KPH. 3/52 after being admitted to KPH, the pt did a CT scan which showed that he had B Ischaemic stroke. On October 17, 2015, the pt got a 2nd stroke and seizure while on the ward at KPH.
  • 82. – The 2nd stroke led to L leg weakness whereas the 1st stroke had cause weakness on the R side. His daughter-in – law felt that the hospital was not managing him properly so she transferred him to UHWI where he did a CT scan on the lungs and found out that he had PE in B lungs.

Editor's Notes

  1. like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. cerebellum is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance. The cerebellum is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance. The brainstem includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla. It acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing
  2. The frontal lobes are responsible for problem solving and judgment and motor function. • The parietal lobes manage sensation, handwriting, and body position. • The temporal lobes are involved with memory and hearing. • The occipital lobes contain the brain's visual processing system
  3. Twelve pairs of nerves that originate in the brain, exit the skull, and lead to the head, neck and torso(olfactory and optic)
  4. Ascending tracts- sensory nerve endings to the cerebral cortex
  5. From the sensory endings to the cerebral cortex
  6. Medial R-S tract (pons) induce excitation of extensors and inhibition of flexors 2. Lateral R-S tract (medulla) induces excitation of flexors and inhibition of extensors
  7. Blood spills into or around the brain and creates swelling and pressure, damaging cells and tissue in the brain
  8. Embolic Stroke -blood clot or plaque fragment forms somewhere in the body (usually the heart) and travels to the brain. Thrombotic Stroke -blood clot that forms inside one of the arteries supplying blood to the brain
  9. Intracerebral hemorrhage – bleeding within the brain ; when a blood vessel inside the brain bursts and leaks blood into surrounding brain tissue Subarachnoid Hemorrhage-bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissue covering the brain, known as the subarachnoid space.
  10. harmless test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the insides of your carotid arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain. Carotid ultrasound shows whether plaque has narrowed or blocked your carotid arteries. Your carotid ultrasound test may include a Doppler ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound is a special test that shows the speed and direction of blood moving through your blood vessels.
  11. records the heart's electrical activity. The test shows how fast the heart is beating and its rhythm (steady or irregular). An EKG also records the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through each part of the heart. An EKG can help detect heart problems that may have led to a stroke. For example, the test can help diagnose atrial fibrillation or a previous heart attack.
  12. is a painless test that uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart. The test gives information about the size and shape of your heart and how well your heart's chambers and valves are working. Echo can detect possible blood clots inside the heart and problems with the aorta. The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to all parts of your body.
  13. An AVM is a tangle of faulty arteries and veins that can rupture within the brain.) AVM repair helps prevent further bleeding in the brain.
