When you’re asked to localize the lesion in a patient with aphasia, do you suddenly feel speechless?

At a loss for words to categorize the type of aphasia?

Never fear—here is the decision tree for patients w/aphasia and the associated anatomic correlates

If you are only looking at the optic nerve on Orbital MRIs, you need to open your EYES!

Don’t be blind to all the other nerves in the orbit!

Branches of trigeminal V1 &V2 and the oculomotor nerve all can cause pathology in the orbit

But if you don’t look, you won’t see!

Are you right when it’s bright?

Bright cortical signal on diffusion images is classically associated w/hypoxic-ischemic injury.

But there are many mimics!

Do you know how to recognize the different patterns of cortical restricted diffusion? Here’s a figure & some pearls to

1/Having trouble remembering what you should look for in vascular dementia on imaging?

Almost everyone worked up for dementia has infarcts. Which ones are important?

Here’s a thread on the key findings in vascular dementia!
