This pathology often results in a bitemporal hemianopsia.
What is a pituitary adenoma?

Most patients with good visual acuity can see what the sign says at 30 ft., but patient B must stand at 20 ft to see what the sign says. This is Patient B's visual acuity.
What is 20/30?

Weakness in the deltoid, biceps, and brachioradialis muscles with decreased pinprick sensation in the lateral arm suggests this nerve root lesion.
What pattern of motor weakness and sensory loss suggests a C5-C6 nerve root lesion?
300
This type of neuropathy presents in nerve conduction studies as low motor action potential amplitudes.
What is axonal neuropathy?
The low amplitudes indicated reduced axon function and loss of nerve fibers.

This lesion, often affecting the occipital lobe, results in a homonymous hemianopia.
What is a PCA infarction?

This is where the VZV reactivates.
What is the dorsal root ganglion?
400
This laboratory study is important in diagnosing diabetic neuropathy (not glucose).
What is Hemoglobin A1c?

The speed of action potentials in afferent fibers is primarily determined by these factors.
What is the diameter of the fiber and the presence of myelination?
400
This thalamic nucleus relays visual input from the optic tract.
What is the lateral geniculate nucleus?
400
This virus is associated with blistering and motor weakness in a dermatomal distribution.
What is Varicella Zoster Virus?

Thi is the most common cause of neuropathy in the U.S.
What is diabetic neuropathy?

A patient presents with monocular vision loss and a mass is found on imaging. This structure is likely compressed by the mass.
What is the optic nerve?
500
Motor deficits in the deltoid and supraspinatus is associated with this dermatome
What is C5/6 (axillary nerve and suprascapular nerve)?

Based on the patient's visual field shown below, this is the likely (general) location of the lesion.
What lesion is retrochiasmal?
500
A patient is found to have this condition based on flare sequence below with numbness, sensory defects, and vision loss.
What is a PCA Circulation stroke?
What specific structure is likely involved based on the symptoms of numbness and sensory defect?
