The anterior cerebral artery starts at the optic chiasm (at the bottom of the brain where optic nerve crosses) and extends to the medial surface of cerebral cortex. Its first part arising from internal carotid artery is A1 segment is about 14mm long. Next is the A2 segment.
If the headaches are linked to the aneurysm, then only it will be operated upon. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
hi,cortical dysplasia is a congenital(since birth) abnormality where the neurons(nerve cells) in an area of the brain failed to migrate in the proper formation during pregnancy.
This causes the signals sent through the neurons in these areas to misfire, which sends an incorrect signal. It is commonly found near the cerebral cortex and is associated with seizures and may be associated with some level of developmental delay(s).
Surgical treatment is being propogated presently.
All forms of focal cortical dysplasia lead to disorganization of the normal structure of the cerebral cortex. Focal cortical dysplasia associated with enlarged cells is known as FCDIIB. The enlarged cells are called balloon cells for their large elliptical shape, displaced nucleus, and lack of dendrites or axons. The developmental origin of balloon cells is unknown although they are believed to be derived from neuronal or glial progenitor cells.
I would see a Doctor because our brain (cerebral cortex) controls our body during sleep so we don't psychically act out our dreams but sometimes something interferes with the paralysis and that's when people begin to psychically act out their dreams.
Heart defects
Changes in the shape of the face
Poor growth before and after birth
Poor muscle tone and problems with movement and balance
Problems with thinking and speech
Behavior and attention problems
Learning problems
These medical problems are lifelong and can range from mild to severe.
Other complications seen in the infant may include:
Cerebral palsy
Premature delivery
Miscarriage or stillbirth
But how much is too much?
The brain contains pockets or spaces called ventricles with a spongy layer of cells and blood vessels called the choroid plexus. This is in the middle of the fetal brain. The choroid plexus has the important function of producing a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid produced by the cells of the choroid plexus fills the ventricles and then flows around the brain and the spinal cord to provide a cushion of fluid around these structures.
Her CAT scan report stated that there is hypodense subdural collection noted at left fronto-parietal convexities, approx HU value 12-15.But the underlying cerebral cortex shows no evidence of mass effect. A triangular hypo- attenuating area noted at right centrum semiovale. I am worried that will she be ok after medication for prolonged time or we have to go for surgery. She is under mediation now. Is this condition deadly?
There is ZERO scientific proof that THC is harmful to a developing fetus...but CAN and WILL affect the frontal cortex of the brain in the Third trimester. And if you have high BP, MJ can cause Preeclampsia. Use as little as possible and ween down. It took me some time as well, I partake due to anxiety and smoked till about 23 weeks. FYI, took us 8yrs to make our baby and I of all people wouldn't do ANYTHING to harm this pregnancy or growing child.
I personally think it's selfish and foolish to drink during pregnancy. Your putting your baby's health at risk and fetal development during the first trimester is crucial. Any alcohol use during pregnancy can result in a child being born with FASD. To me it's not worth the risks.
It is hard to say. The main problem is the lack of development of the tracts in the brain from the eye to the visual cortex. I would not recommend surgery if the eyes are straight with glasses. I have no experience with revital vision. Some say it works for ambyopia. However, I doubt it would be a significant improvement.

The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
When you are 5 weeks pregnant, your baby's heart is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes and they're already hard at work, beating to their own drummer (it will be weeks before those beats become coordinated).
In 1892, Czechoslovakian neurologist Arnold Pick first documented a type of dementia in which degeneration of cells occurs in the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the brain) where cognitive and behavioral functions are controlled. Unlike Alzheimer's, Pick's disease is very often diagnosed in patients who are not yet 65.
Studies have shown that certain gene mutations prompt loss of a protein called progranulin (PGRN). When this protein remains low, cerebral cortex cell death occurs.
