Gelastic seizures, marked by bouts of uncontrollable laughter, are classically linked to hypothalamic hamartomas. They may also be associated with Pallister-Hall syndrome (caused by a GLI3 mutation on chromosome 7). Present in infancy. EEG often normal due to deep seizure focus.

Cranial nerves that contain general somatic efferent fibers:
1- III, IV , & VI (extraocular muscles)
2- XII (extensive and intrinsic tongue muscles)
See the complete categorization below:

الجرائد والمجلات العلمية لما توصلك للبريد لها طعم آخر . طبعا لو ما قريتها أول بأول راح تتراكم وتستخدمها للسفرة😬.

لقيت هذه التحفة من 2006
من وقتها تغيّر عالم الـStroke بشكل جنوني: صار الـCTA/CTP جزء أساسي من تقييم الجلطات الحادة، دخل الـTenecteplase بقوة، وفي 2015 تغيّر كل شيء مع ثورة الـMechanical Thrombectomy.

Glad to be awarded as the recipient of “Resident Scholarship to the Annual Meeting”. #AANAM #AANAM2026

اللي مهتم الكتاب جميل، خصوصا اللي عنده أساسيات في النيورولوجي، تقرأه في الويكند.

This is outdated, especially after multiple trials and the CATALYST meta analysis, which supports early (less than or equal 4 days) in ischemic strokes.

An easy way to differentiate these midbrain syndromes is to remember that, moving from anterior to posterior, all three involve oculomotor nerve damage, with additional distinct features:
Weber’s syndrome – affects the anterior midbrain, involving the corticospinal tracts, leading to contralateral weakness.
Benedikt’s syndrome – involves the mid-midbrain, including the red nucleus, causing abnormal involuntary movements such as tremor and chorea.
Claude’s syndrome – localized to the posterior midbrain, where superior cerebellar peduncle fibers (after decussation) are affected, resulting in cerebellar signs (think Claude = Cerebellar).
