1.  Is the patient’s left-sided weakness suggestive of an upper motor neuron or lower motor neuron process?

2.  Indicate the specific structures involved by the pathologic process to produce this patient’s left-sided weakness, increased muscle tone, hyperreflexia, and extensor plantar reflex. 

3.  What sensory pathway is involved to produce this patient’s pain and temperature deficit?

4.  What sensory pathways are involved to produce this patient’s mild joint position sense (conscious proprioception) deficits?

5.  Indicate the anatomical location of the pathologic process in this case. 

6.  In general, what type of pathologic process do you think is involved in this case?

7.  This patient’s clinical signs and symptoms constitute a classic neurologic syndrome.  What is the name of that syndrome?
