I’m actually almost crying with gratitude you guys are saving my literal life you have no idea, I’m studying an MSc Anatomy and the neuro stuff is absolutely deadly, your videos are the only reason I’m able to do this honestly. Your channel is genuinely life changing

[@SotonbrainhubUk1]

Such a kind comment, thank you so much 😍

[@rinpocherags8125]

I suffered a large brain stem stroke (vertibrobasiler) from an artery dissection. Much of pons and left cerebellum. Unbelievably, I wasn’t ‘locked in.’ I only have moments of consciousness and when the doctor tried testing my affected arm it was uncontrollably shaking. They really didn’t know what was happening to me, until the CT results. I underwent surgery, and ended up with a couple stents to the dissected area. Dizziness is an understatement. I literally saw only swirls of color. Not like normal dizziness. These strokes are rare, so there’s a lack of education spotting the symptoms. It is, however, they do affect young folks. We need greater awareness, because they’re the more deadly.

[@chanelv5373]

So sorry to hear about your stroke. I’ll keep you in my prayers. How are you doing today, any changes ?

[@jimaills5267]

Had a pons ischemic at 35yo this past January. Lucky to be alive. The dizziness I swear lasted for months after. Always worried I was having another

[@saadmahdi5341]

My father has brainstem stroke . Now is faint no talk no feel . Please Advise me how can help my father .

Suffered the exact same stroke. The dizziness was unreal. What are your deficits?

Quite a nifty synopsis!

[@drjalilaftab]

Very useful videos ...neuro on finger tips ...thnx to admn

[@luciabengocheapaz898]

When talking about the Locked-In Syndrome, the diagram is not labelled properly, as the pons is labelled "medulla". Excellent mini-series, thanks!!

[@SotonbrainhubUk1]

Oops yes you’re right. It should indeed say pons

Many thanks -

I had the lock-in syndrome stroke. Couldn't talk or move. tPA didn't work fast enough. They did a thrombectomy. I came out unaffected best I can tell. I kept going unconscious but I thought I was just falling asleep!

[@JohnRenfrow]

Amazing video, I'm so lost in neuro right now and I was able to understand everything clearly! Please keep making content, you are the best.

[@SotonbrainhubUk1]

Happy to hear that! Keep it up!

[@odesseylk863]

Thank you

[@snehadutta4703]

Excellent

[@kayoungheo4522]

Thank you for such a helpful video!! 😊 I have one question though - wouldn't a stroke in the midbrain also lead to depressed consciousness (reticular formation)? And would ischemia in the reticular formation pretectal area in the midbrain lead to loss of vertical eye movement? Thanks!

[@christiantoquica]

Really good video. It has a mistake though on minute 7+07 he described Locked-in syndrome and wrote Medulla pointing to the Pons. Besides that really informative

[@username42]

what about using gabapentin plus piracetam and vastarel for tortorous vertabrasiler arteries?

[@mohammedamir2918]

Amazing

[@user-zt6wt3jw9f]

Doctor, I hope you can answer me. I have a blow to my head on the side of the cerebellum as a result of a fall since childhood, and a headache that does not leave me for a minute, suffocation, spasms in the muscles of the chest, back muscles, and feet, numbness and paresthesia in the entire body, stopping of blood in the feet or numbness, high systolic pressure 19 and diastolic 11, a drop in blood sugar, difficulty with balance, dizziness, tingling, numbness, and pain. I hope you answer me

No hemiplegia in Wallenberg, but present in medial medullary syndrome

Great :)

شكرا

[@henamamoni6407]

Good job. :) Just a mislabeled, in locked in syndrome description.

[@bennychun1021]

A typo at the slide on syndrome, which should be pontine stroke instead of medullary stroke (7:47 mins) thanks

[@IITaDHGdALToNII]

yup meant to say PONS at 7:05

My sister is 10 days out from a massive ischemic pontine stroke. She is 71 years old, with diabetes and hypertension. The doctors say she has locked- in syndrome. She is fed by gastric tube, won' t open her eyes, is on a CPAP, etc. I know this is all very grim, but I have hope for a miracle - they can happen. The neurologist is already talking to her daughter about hospice- but we won't give up so easily. I believe that it is too early to tell and improvement is possible.

[@prem.g.gaikwad]

Hope she is recovered

[@madrigaljiggy]

How’s she doing now? I hope she’s recovered by now. Same thing happens to my father 7mos ago.

[@963ag]

Update - one year later. She is home, my niece is caring for her, and took her out of the hospital. But she is still on a respirator and feeding tube, non- verbal, and can only move one arm, she will look around, and laugh - but sometimes at random.

[@LethalWeapon73]

@@963ag God is able 🙌. Praying she makes a full recovery. I'm on many channels to learn more about this and how to help my sister. She had a Hemmo something stroke.
