Avatar n tn A friend of ours just had a stroke involving the brainstem. We are trying to decipher what our friend's doctor is telling her regarding her husband's current state, prognosis, etc. Can you tell us the functions of the pons, mid-brain and medulla? Which is the area just above the spinal cord? Her husband's stroke injury was just above the c-1 vertibre. He is currently on a respirator and is in a coma.

Avatar n tn I am having the exact same symptoms. I went to the hospital and they couldn't figure out what it was that was the causing the pain. They didn't "think" it could be signs of an anurysm. I went to see my doctor today, he had me tested for Temporal Arteritis. I am only 17 years old, however, and generally temporal arteritis occurs in people (especially women) over 60 years old. I will not get the test results back until tomorrow.

524338 tn?1212326834 Hi, A transient ischemic attack (TIA, often colloquially referred to as "mini stroke") is caused by the temporary disturbance of blood supply to a restricted area of the brain, resulting in brief neurologic dysfunction that usually persists for less than 24 hours. The most frequent symptoms include temporary loss of vision,difficulty speaking, weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis); and numbness or tingling usually on one side of the body.
Avatar f tn “TIAs are often warning signs that a person is at risk for a more serious and debilitating stroke. About one-third of those who have a TIA will have an acute stroke some time in the future. Many strokes can be prevented by heeding the warning signs of TIAs and treating underlying risk factors. The most important treatable factors linked to TIAs and stroke are high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, heart disease, carotid artery disease, diabetes, and heavy use of alcohol.

600311 tn?1219696714 It is most commonly seen as a long-term result of stroke or trauma.So It is a descriptive term rather than the name of a disease.Once encephalomalacia sets in,it means that damage to the brain has already been done.Treatment and prognosis will depend upon the area affected by encephalomalacia and the centres present in that area. Take care and regards.
