“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 ⸻ 📚 Visit our website for more high-yield neurology notes: mediconotes.com ⸻ #MedEd #MedicalEducation #DoctorsOfInstagram #MedicalStudents #FutureDoctor #Medicine #MedLife #Healthcare #MedicalSchool #USMLE

#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. ahajrnls.org/4raYcnM

Prehospital GFAP testing (to exclude ICH) combined with clinical LVO scores improves detection of large vessel occlusion and may reduce misdirected transfers in acute #stroke care. @LovepreetKalra ahajrnls.org/45jvsAO

Very happyto be attending the 19th WFNS World Neurosurgery Congress in Dubai! #WFNS2025 #Dubaï2025 @WFNS_YNF @realyoungcaans Grateful to CAANS Africa, the WFNS Local Committee, my supervisors, and collaborators for their support.

Big turnout for brilliant talk by Dr Amal Abou Hamden on minimally invasive management of ICH at WFNS 2025 in Dubai! @cvsection @WFNSHQ
