Part 02 Procedure: Case study of the CNS

Please read the case study handout that I attached to answer the following questions:

Case Study A:

Case Study B:
Two point discrimination L/R:

Deep tendon reflexes L/R:

Babinski reflex L/R:

Blood pressure:

Diagnosis (be specific):

Causes/Types:

What side of the brain is being affected and why?

What is the difference between ischemia and infarct (infarction)?

If the next day in the hospital, Samuel was still having extreme difficulty moving and sensation awareness in his right arm and leg, what specific region of the brain would be affected?

If the next day in the hospital, Samuel was still having difficulty with his vision, what specific region of the brain would be affected?

If the next day in the hospital, Samuel’s personality changed drastically (for example from normally being happy and funny to being angry and violent), what specific area of the brain would be affected?

If the next day in the hospital, Samuel was having a difficult time answering questions/directions posed to of him, what specific region of the brain would be affected? For example, if Samuel was shown a picture of a sailboat and when asked if he knew what it was, he shook his head yes but when he tried to say, “sailboat” he had a difficult time being able to articulate the word.

If the next day in the hospital, Samuel was having a difficult time understanding questions/directions posed to him, what specific region of the brain would be affected? For example, if Samuel was asked how he was doing today and he responded, “The sky is the color of the rainbow” with little, if any slurring of speech.

Will Samuel recover from this occurrence with no residual effects or could there be complications?

How does the term neuroplasticity relate to Samuel’s condition and recovery?
