36-year-old female is brought to the emergency room by her
husband who says that she "complained of a severe headache then lost
consciousness." She has a history of hypertension and had been on several
different medications. The examining physician notes that she is unable
to move her arms and legs, but can blink her eyes. When the physician asks
her to blink twice if she can hear him, she promptly does so. In which of
the following structures is this woman's lesion most likely located?
A. Cervical spinal cord
B. Medulla oblongata
C. Midbrain
D. Pons
E. Thalamus
