Background: Large hemispheric infarction (LHI) is an ischemic stroke affecting at least two-thirds of the middle cerebral artery territory, with or without involvement of the anterior cerebral artery or posterior cerebral artery, and
BACKGROUND
Little is known about the incidence and risk factors of early consciousness disorder (ECD) in patients with acute ischemic stroke, or about how ECD may affect complications and outcomes.
METHODS
Patients admitted to our hospital within 24 h of onset of acute ischemic stroke were
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical features and causes of postoperative brainstem and cerebellar infarcts.
METHODS
Two groups were studied. The 10 group 1 patients had cardiac (eight) or aortic (two) surgery. The 12 group 2 patients had noncardiac-nonvascular surgery, including orthopedic (five),
Background. Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a clinical syndrome caused by acute ischemic infarction or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. The typical clinical presentation of PA includes acute onset of severe headache, visual disturbance, cranial nerve palsy, and altered level of consciousness. Case
Cerebral infarction is one of the serious neurological complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Especially in patients who are genetically prone to thrombosis, cerebral infarction may develop due to inflammation, dehydration, and hyperviscocity secondary to DKA. A 6-year-old child with DKA is
The number of stimulant-drug addicts has recently been on the rise again, and they are being increasingly encountered in the emergency room. There are also frequent reports of cerebrovascular disorders complicating drug toxicity. These cerebrovascular disorders have included subarachnoid hemorrhage,
OBJECTIVE
The data of patients with an MRI-confirmed diagnosis of thalamic stroke were analyzed to identify risk factors and to describe the clinical syndromes according to the thalamic arterial territory involved.
METHODS
We examined the records of all patients with a diagnosis of thalamic stroke
BACKGROUND
Bithalamic paramedian infarcts are uncommon. This stroke results in a complex clinical syndrome.
METHODS
We report four cases of bithalamic paramedian infarcts with a presumed mechanism of occlusion of a single thalamic paramedian artery.
CONCLUSIONS
This normal anatomic variant
We presented a patient of paradoxical embolism with Chiari network, subsequently being accompanied by probable incomplete infarction. This 21-year-old man suffered from consciousness disorder, aphasia and right hemiparesis, and hospitalized in November 6, 1999. Magnetic resonance imaging showed
Consciousness disorders may have many causes, mainly cardiac arrhythmias. The incidence of bradyarrhythmias (BA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is 0.3-18 % and caused by sinus node dysfunction (SND), high degree atrioventricular (AV) block or bundle branch blocks. SND are sinus
Background: Thalamic blood supply consists of four major vascular territories. Out of them paramedian arteries supply ipsilateral paramedian thalami and occasionally rostral mid brain. Rarely both paramedian arteries arise from a common
Cardiac involvement has rarely been reported in West Nile (WNV) infection. We report a fatal case of WNV encephalitis associated with an acute anteroseptal ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient was hospitalized with a fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. The physical examination revealed
OBJECTIVE
Concomitant positive and negative motor phenomena in a single seizure have not been reported before.
METHODS
We used an extensive history review, neurological examination, EEG, MRI and SPECT study to demonstrate a rare combination of motor presentations as an ictal phenomenon.
RESULTS
A
Background: Amantadine is widely used to improve reduced spontaneity and prevent aspiration pneumonia. There are few reports on cases of amantadine intoxication in the field of rehabilitation.
Cases:
