Clinical applications Spinal cord tracts Clinical applications

Clinical significance of lamination of the ascending tracts Any external pressure exerted on the spinal cord in the region of the spinothalamic tracts will first experience a loss of pain and temperature sensations in the sacral dermatome of the body If pressure increases the other higher segmental dermatomes will be affected Remember that in the spinothalamic tracts the cervical to sacral segments are located medial to lateral

Lateral spinothalamic Destruction of this tract produces contralateral loss of pain and thermal sensation below the level of the lesion

Clinical application destruction of LSTT loss of pain and thermal sensation on the contralateral side below the level of the lesion patient will not respond to pinprick recognize hot and cold

Anterior spinothalamic Clinical application destruction of ASTT loss of light touch and pressure sense below the level of lesion on the contralateral side of the body Remember that discriminative touch will still present (because this information is carried by the posterior white column pathway)

Fasciculus gracilis and cuneatus Loss of conscious muscle and joint loss The patient does not know about the position and movement of the ipsilateral limbs below the level of the lesion Loss of vibration sense and tactile discrimination of the ipsilateral side below the level of the lesion The sense of light touch wont be affected …why!!!!!!!

fasciculus gracilia and cuneatus Clinical application destruction of fasciculus gracilia and cuneatus loss of muscle joint sense, position sense, vibration sense and tactile discrimination on the same side below the level of the lesion (extremely rare to have a lesion of the spinal cord to be localized as to affect one sensory tract only )

It is extremely RARE for a lesion in the spinal cord to be so localized as to affect one sensory tract only,,,,its more usual to have several ascending and descending tracts involved

upper motor neuron lesion is a lesion of the neural pathway above the anterior horn cell of the spinal cord or motor nuclei of the cranial nerves lower motor neuron lesion : affects nerve fibers traveling from the anterior horn of the spinal cord or the cranial motor nuclei to the relevant muscle

COMPARISON BETWEEN UMN AND LMN Features Upper motor neuron lesions(UMN) Lower motor neuron lesion(LMN) UMN starts from motor cortex to the cranial nerve nuclei in brain and anterior horn cells in spinal cord LMN is the motor pathway from anterior horn cell(or Cranial nerve nucleus)via peripheral nerve to the motor end plate Bulk of muscles No wasting Wasting of the affected muscles (atrophy) Tone of muscles Tone increases (Hypertonia) Tone decreases (Hypotonia) Power of muscles Paralysis affects movements of group of muscles Spastic/ clasp knife Individual muscles is paralyzed Flaccid ( flaccid paralysis) Reflexes Exaggerated. (Hyperreflexia) diminished or absent. (Hyporeflexia) Fasciculation Absent Present Babinski sign clasp-knife reaction

Corticobulbar pathway (corticonuclear): From cerebral cortex to motor nuclei of certain cranial nerves ( 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th ,12th) The corticobulbar input is bilateral to : 1- 5th 2- Part of 7th ( which supplies UPPER facial muscles) 3- 9th,10th,11th 4- 12th !!!! the corticobulbar input to the part of facial nucleus supplies LOWER facial muscles is from the contralateral hemisphere only (unilateral input) Hypoglossal nucleus receives corticonuclear fibers from both cerebral hemisphere (bilateral input) however, the cells responsible for supplying the genioglossus muscle only receive corticonuclear fibers from the opposite cerebral hemisphere (unilateral input)

Types of paralysis: 1- hemiplegia : paralysis of one side of the body ( includes the upper limb, one side of the trunk and the lower limb 2- monoplegia : paralysis of one limb only 3- paraplegia : paralysis of the two lower limbs 4- quadriplegia : paralysis of all four limbs
