High-field MRI is capable of differentiating acute, subacute, and chronic hemorrhagic cortical infarctions. In eight of nine patients, hemorrhage occurred in a vascular watershed zone. Acute hemorrhagic cortical infarction produces mild cortical low intensity on T2-weighted images outlined by
We describe two patients with absolute, complete, binocular inferior altitudinal hemianopias. These altitudinal visual-field defects (AVFDs) involved both nasal and adjacent temporal quadrants and respected the horizontal meridian. The reported conditions and locations in the visual system that
BACKGROUND
Studies on healthy volunteers have seen reduced heart rate variability after exposure to extremely low-frequency electric and magnetic fields (EMF). Because reduced heart rate variability has been linked to cardiovascular disease risk, it has been hypothesized that exposure to EMF might
Surveys were made to determine whether susceptibility to depressive illness and to myocardial infarction of people living in Wolverhampton was related to the intensity of 50 Hz magnetic field outside their homes. Comparing case with control addresses it was found that the field strength was
In a group of 96 patients with homonymous hemianopia or quadrantanopia from various causes, usually vascular lesions, 14 experienced coloured patterns in the hemianopic field. A questionnaire was used in an attempt to obtain as much information as possible on these phosphenes. They appeared in four
Congestive heart failure (CHF) can arise from multiple causes, all resulting in decreased perfusion of body tissues. CHF may result from a drug overdose, infection of the myocardium, myocardial infarction, chronic hypertension, and numerous other causes. It may also be acute or chronic. Regardless
We describe a patient with a right anterior choroidal artery territory infarction and an inconspicuous left visual defect. The anterior choroidal artery is a unique artery of the cerebral circulation. The occlusion of this artery can result in dysfunction of motor, sensory, and visual systems with
We present a case in which formed hallucinations were the sole presenting feature of an occipital infarct. The hallucinations occurred in the resulting hemianopic field. The localizing value of such phenomena is discussed.
Visual functions are often impaired in preterm infants with periventricular haemorrhagic infarction, because of the involvement of the region where the optic radiations are located. In some cases an unexpected sparing of the visual fields has been described, and related to the plasticity of
METHODS
We examined a unique case of stroke in a 29-year-old woman. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed isolated bilateral acute infarctions of the lateral geniculate bodies (LGB). Visual field testing demonstrated incongruous but homonymous bilateral visual field loss in a bow-tie
Extracorporeal pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has been shown the ability to improve regeneration in various ischemic episodes. Here, we examined whether PEMF therapy facilitate cardiac recovery in rat myocardial infarction (MI), and the cellular/molecular mechanisms underlying PEMF-related
BACKGROUND
Although the prognosis of ischemic stroke is highly dependent on the lesion location, it has rarely been quantitatively utilized. We investigated the usefulness of regional extent of ischemic lesion (rEIL) predicting the improvement of visual field defect (VFD) in patients with posterior
