I suffered a stroke of the Pons in 1977 at the age of 16. I awoke one Saturday with double vision and my parents ran me to the hospital. I fell asleep in the ER and awoke a couple of hours later locked in. Except for the times I was asleep, I remained conscious. They did surgery to remove the clot 10 days later. I woke up 3 weeks after that and could blink within a few days. A couple of weeks later, I could move one finger. It took almost 3 months before I spoke my first word. I got the use of most of my left side back over the two years but the right remained non functional. My voice also suffered, but I'm not sure if it was the stroke or the 10 days of having an artificial airway down my throat. Life is good. You can learn to adapt to a lot especially at a younger age.
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
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.
thank you so much for explaining this so concisely and clearly, literally struggled understanding this area for so long now it makes so much more sense!
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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!
Im here because someone i care about had a stroke in his brain stem yesterday and has lost control of one of his eyes. The doctores say its due to a plauqe build up in his neck going to his brain.
If your luck like me people would know I have lupus vascular Ehlers Danos syndrome and vasculitis and I was born with cranstiosis and my brain stem is pushing far back into the back of my skull my brain stem practically shoved into my brain cavity
I need help my father get stroke in posterior circulation infarct involving cerebellum , brain stem and occipital loves BA to thrombosis ,k/c/o hypertension on 5 July 2020 so till now he his unconscious doc said it totally depend on my father and they are giving totally negative statements so I want to know how much time it will take I love my father I can go beyond the limit for him just want to know how time it will take plz share your experience it's request from a son
It is a problem. Rumour has it you can get accepted into medical school these days with a B in chatgpt A level and a Tesco club card, so no wonder doctors are struggling on the front line.

Such a kind comment, thank you so much 😍
Choosing anatomy isn't a good choice then 😂

So sorry to hear about your stroke. I’ll keep you in my prayers. How are you doing today, any changes ?
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
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?
@@saadmahdi5341 I wish I knew. God prayers your father doing better and make a full recovery. 🙏
thank you so much for explaining this so concisely and clearly, literally struggled understanding this area for so long now it makes so much more sense!
When talking about the Locked-In Syndrome, the diagram is not labelled properly, as the pons is labelled "medulla".
Excellent mini-series, thanks!!
Oops yes you’re right. It should indeed say pons
7:07
Wow. You are great
I have watched the three videos on the cerebral arteries involvement and it's just amazing. Thank you so much
Great video Sir. You are the best. I am waiting for more great video contents. Thank you so much.
best video hats off..it made everything very easy and cover almost each and everything.
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!
such amazing way to explain, thanks a lot !!!
It is very helpful...Thanks!
Excellent presentation. Thank you
An excellent explanation
wow what a gem
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.
Happy to hear that! Keep it up!
Awesome and very good presentation Sir...Thanks much..!!!😊
Thank you
Quite a nifty synopsis!
A typo at the slide on syndrome, which should be pontine stroke instead of medullary stroke (7:47 mins) thanks
yup meant to say PONS at 7:05
Very useful videos ...neuro on finger tips ...thnx to admn

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

Which software you have used for drawing
Procreate
what about using gabapentin plus piracetam and vastarel for tortorous vertabrasiler arteries?
which software is it used to drawing?
Sketches
Soton Brain Hub thank you
Good job. :)
Just a mislabeled, in locked in syndrome description.
whicha app did u use to. write??

I actually have Wallenberg's Syndrome. I have finally gotten the courage to tell my story on UA-cam if you are interested.
How are you doing sir now?
@@WaqarAli-vn1zy I can’t really complain. I wake up and pinch myself every morning. Actually, I am doing great!
@Ava Kind Thanks!!! I'm doing great! The only way is to keep pushing forward!
No hemiplegia in Wallenberg, but present in medial medullary syndrome
Can person survive from large pontine hamerage
Not often, and if they do, quality of life is extremely poor.
Amazing

I just read this and I'm so sorry. I really hope your father is well 🙏
Okay
Maybe it needs a cure.
I wish my doctors weren't stupid and abalist
