Sensorimotor hemiparesis with secondary cervical dystonia following lateral caudal medullary infarction without signs and symptoms of Wallenberg syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the case of an 84-year-old woman who suddenly developed motor and both superficial and deep sensory hemiparesis on the left side, and cervical dystonia with a head tilt to the right side. A brain MRI showed an infarct in the left lateral caudal medulla. It is clinically important to

Basal ganglia infarction as a possible cause of cervical dystonia.

Cervical dystonia (CD) is usually an idiopathic disorder that results in abnormal movements and painful postures of the neck. Although symptomatic CD caused by focal CNS lesions has been described in the literature, it is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. We report two women who had an abrupt onset of

CT-scanning and magnetic resonance imaging in idiopathic spasmodic torticollis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Twenty-five consecutive patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis (IST) were investigated with computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. In only six patients (24%) did CT or MRI reveal brain pathology (focal cortical atrophy and lacunary infarcts). No

Cerebral ischemia related to globus pallidus internus stimulation for cervical dystonia.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is generally a safe and effective method to treat intractable movement disorders. However, complications of surgery have been reported, such as hemorrhage, infection and hardware failure. OBJECTIVE We describe an unusual complication associated with DBS of the

Percheron thalamopeduncular syndrome with cervical dystonia: A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bilateral thalamic infarctions are usually caused by occlusion of the "Artery of Percheron" (AoP). Thalamopeduncular syndrome is among the most common presentations of AoP occlusion. A 59-year-old male presented abrupt decreased level of consciousness. After several weeks, on regaining

Selective peripheral denervation for the treatment of intractable spasmodic torticollis: experience with 168 patients at the Mayo Clinic.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Selective peripheral denervation is currently the primary surgical treatment for intractable cervical dystonia. The authors assessed preoperative factors to determine which, if any, correlated with outcomes in patients with torticollis who had undergone this procedure. METHODS The records

Cervico-shoulder dystonia following lateral medullary infarction: a case report and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Secondary cervical dystonia is induced by organic brain lesions involving the basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, and brain stem. It is extremely rare to see cervical dystonia induced by a medullary lesion. METHODS We report a case of an 86-year-old Japanese woman who developed cervical

The role of cerebellum in patients with late onset cervical/segmental dystonia?--evidence from the clinic.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND There is evidence from animal studies, post-mortem pathology, functional imaging and neurophysiological studies to suggest that the cerebellum may be involved in the pathophysiology of dystonia. We sought to explore further the association of clinical and radiological abnormalities of the

Vertebro-basilar stroke due to Bow-Hunter syndrome: an unusual presentation of rotatory atlanto-axial subluxation in a fourteen year old.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bow Hunter's syndrome is a rare disorder usually producing transient ischemic symptoms as a result of dynamic compression of the vertebral artery during head turning. We report a case of a 14 year old male presenting with stroke due to occlusion of vertebral artery due to rotatory atlanto-axial

Motor tics of the head and neck: surgical approaches and their complications.

Only registered users can translate articles

Motor tics of the head and neck, especially hemifacial spasm and spastic torticollis, are the substance of this paper. Forty-six cases are presented, and surgical techniques are described. In hemifacial spasm the intracranial neurovascular lysis of Jannetta is a valid operation with the best results

OBJECTIVE To monitor the structural intracranial complications of bacterial meningitis using computed tomography (CT) scan. METHODS Retrospective study of medical and radiological records of patients who underwent CT scan over a 4 year period. METHODS A University Teaching Hospital in a developing

Unilateral cerebellar aplasia.

We describe three children with unilateral cerebellar aplasia (UCA). Deliveries at term and neonatal periods were uneventful. Pregnancy was normal in one and complicated by mild bleeding (in second and fourth month respectively) in two instances. Presenting signs were delayed motor development with

Movement disorders following lesions of the thalamus or subthalamic region.

Only registered users can translate articles

Reports of 62 cases with a movement disorder associated with a focal lesion in the thalamus and/or subthalamic region were analyzed. Thirty-three cases had a lesion confined to the thalamus. Sixteen cases had a thalamic lesion extending into the subthalamic region and/or midbrain. Thirteen cases had
