Lacunar infarcts are small, deep infarcts that occur in subcortical regions of the brain and can result in pure sensory stroke syndromes, ataxia, and dysarthria. The most common predisposing etiology is small-vessel lipohyalinosis or microatheroma formation usually secondary to diabetes mellitus or

Six patients had isolated hemiataxia and ipsilateral sensory loss, as a manifestation of thalamic infarction in the thalamogeniculate territory. Acute hemiataxia-hypesthesia was not found in 1075 other patients from the Lausanne Stroke Registry who were admitted during the same period. Stroke onset

A 49-year-old with long-standing hypertension and diabetes developed numbness and sensory loss over the left side of the body consistent with a diagnosis of Pure sensory stroke (PSS). However, CT showed a subcortical infarction in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory, which evolved a few hours

Paraplegia after posterior fossa surgery is a rare and devastating complication. The authors reviewed a case of paraplegia following Chiari decompression and surveyed the literature to identify strategies to reduce the occurrence of such events.An obese 44-year-old woman had progressive left arm

Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is uncommon as compared to cerebral stroke. Moreover, SCI during pregnancy is rare. Here, we report a case of SCI in diabetic pregnancy, properly diagnosed, promptly treated, and a good prognosis achieved. A 38-year-old, pregnant woman, para 1, with type 1 diabetes

Although the somatosensory afferent of the tip of the tongue runs proximal and parallel along the spinothalamocortical and trigeminothalamocortical pathway up to the sensory cortex, central involvement has been rarely described in cases of nongustatory sensory disturbance at the tip of the tongue.

OBJECTIVE Numbness on the hand occurs infrequently after a transradial cardiac catheterization (TRC). The symptom resembles that of neuropathy. We, therefore, investigated the prevalence, the predicting factors and the presence of neurological abnormalities of numbness, using a nerve conduction

An 87-year-old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome accompanied by cortical blindness and thalamic syndrome resulting from infarction of the posterior cerebral artery is reported. She was hospitalized because of laceration of the head. Two months later, she complained of loss of visual acuity, sharp
