BACKGROUND
Orbitofrontal abnormalities are associated with poor impulse control, altered sexual behavior, and sociopathy.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a patient with acquired pedophilia and a right orbitofrontal tumor who was unable to inhibit sexual urges despite preserved moral knowledge.
METHODS
Case
Mutism and oropharyngeal apraxia are unusual complications of surgery on the cerebellum. They usually occur in children undergoing surgery for midline cerebellar tumours. Adults are rarely affected. The pathophysiology of the syndrome, which is reversible, is uncertain with possible involvement of
BACKGROUND
Congenital ocular motor apraxia (COMA) is characterized by the inability to generate volitional horizontal saccadic eye movements in the absence of other focal neurologic abnormalities.
METHODS
We report on two children (ages 5 months and 3 years) whose COMA did not adhere to these
Congenital ocular motor apraxia is considered a benign disorder of horizontal saccadic eye movements. A case is presented of an 8-month-old boy with this clinical picture in whom, four months later, signs of increased intracranial pressure from a large, cystic neoplasm of the rostral part of the
Mutism following posterior fossa tumor resection in pediatric patients has been previously recognized, although its pathophysiology remains unclear. A review of the available literature reveals 33 individuals with this condition, with only a few adults documented in the population. All of these
BACKGROUND
Constructional apraxia (CA) is a neuropsychological impairment of either basic perceptual and motor abilities or executive functions, in the absence of any kind of motor or perceptual deficit. Considering patients with focal brain tumors, CA is common in left or right parietal and
A 10-month-old girl presented with apparently unilateral ocular motor apraxia (OMA). Electro-oculography confirmed an inability to generate a saccade for fixation or in response to an optokinetic or vestibular evoked stimulus to the right. Fixation and optokinetic saccades and vestibular evoked
A rapidly growing tumor in the left posterior parietal lobe of a right-handed, 72 year old artist resulted in bilateral neglect and constructional apraxia that were greater on the right side of his painting than on the left. These changes indicate that a left posterior parietal lesion alters
The goal of this study was to investigate the phonetic realisation of the voicing feature in two tumour resection-related Spanish speakers with apraxia of speech. Temporal parameters related to the phonological contrast of voicing in Spanish have been analysed for intervocalic voiced and voiceless
Posterior fossa syndrome, characterized by oromotor or oculomotor apraxia, emotional lability, and mutism, occurs in some children after infratentorial tumor resection, and is thought to involve injury to the dentatothalamocortical tract. Previous cases of posterior fossa syndrome involved pediatric
BACKGROUND
Intraventricular neoplasms are rare tumours (1% of the tumours of the central nervous system). The surgical approach sometimes is quite difficult, particularly in the dominant hemisphere. The best choice of surgical approach is discussed.
METHODS
The authors describe a series of 25
Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome is characterized by disturbances of executive function, impaired spatial cognition, linguistic difficulties, and personality change. The case of an 11 year old boy is presented, with behavior problems, learning difficulties and social interaction problems. In
A Developmental Gerstmann syndrome in a 7 years-old-boy with hyperactivity, short attention span, acalculia, agraphia, right-left confusion, finger agnosia and constructional apraxia is reported. An initial trial with methylphenidate was done with good improvement regarding hyperactivity, attention
Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia (ataxia-telangiectasia-like syndrome [AOA]; MIM 208920) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, and choreoathetosis. These neurological features resemble those of ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), but in AOA there are none of the
