C, right?

25. A 45-year-old man has had four episodes of involuntary twitching of the right foot. Following the last episodes, he had a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following structures on the left is the most likely origin of the seizure?

A ) Inferior frontal cortex

B ) Inferior temporal cortex

C ) Insular cortex

D ) Primary motor cortex

E ) Supplementary motor cortex


  #4

H, right nerve VI

right medial strabismus--> paralysis of right lateral rectus--> injury at right nerve VI

Isn't C on the right side?!? isn't this a picture of the brainstem facing us??

  #6

id guess c.

Yeah, C for the brainstem one. This is the ventral aspect; the dorasl aspect you'd see the peduncles. What do y'all think about the seizure one? temporal lobe? insular cortex??

  #8

C

A


  #9

Yeah C, I forgot this is ventral aspect

25, I go with D

I think A covers both, foot area and also motor cortex which is in frontal cortex.

Please guide me if I'm in the wrong way.


  #12

I mean primary motor cortex in frontal lobe.

  #13

Ok, primary motor cortex. what is the most common seizure focus in the brain? is it the insular cortex (which is what, anyway?)? temporal lobe?

  #14

D or A...id favor D ...inputs?

  #15

For 25 I will also go w/ D - the motor control for lower limb lies in the medial part thus inferior frontal cortex is unlikely.

  #16

C
B??
