25 Neurosurgery MCQs

1. Incomplete spinal cord lesions may result in the Brown-Sequard syndrome which is manifest by contralateral loss of motor function and position-vibratory sensation with ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature sensation below the level of the injury
2. The presence of hypotension associated with a cervical spine injury following blunt trauma would suggest invariably the presence of blood loss in association with the neurologic injury
3. Cervical spine malalignment can almost always be reduced by skeletal traction
4. An indication for early operation following spinal cord injury is neurologic deterioration in a patient with initially incomplete cord lesion
5. The natural history of a cord injury in which some function is preserved immediately after the injury is progressive loss of function despite appropriate treatment
