OBJECTIVE
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) impacts many women. Treatment is primarily surgical. Post-operative morbidity considerably affects individuals and the health care system. Our objective is to describe complications following surgery for SUI and how they affect resource
Infarction in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory is an uncommon cause of stroke. The clinical findings of ACA infarctions are not fully characterized but include contralateral hemiparesis, urinary incontinence, transcortical aphasia, agraphia, apraxia, and executive dysfunction. We report
A patient was presented with an outstanding symptom of abulia due to cerebral infarcts in the bilateral genua of internal capsules. A 53-year-old woman, generally in good health and active, had no contributory medical history except for hypertension. She was well until August 20, 1988, when she was
Lesions of the medial frontal micturition center can result in the activation of the pontine and spinal micturition centers when the bladder is full, causing urinary incontinence. Recognition of acute bladder incontinence as part of a cortical hemispheric stroke syndrome may reduce the likelihood of
One hundred and six elderly patients with chronic stroke who were admitted to Seiai Rehabilitation Hospital were studied regarding urinary incontinence. The average age of the subjects was 74 +/- 8 years old, ranging from 60 to 94 years. Seventy three of the 106 patients (69%) had urinary
Following an embolic occlusion of a major cerebral artery with peripheral migration of emboli in the early stage, cerebral haemorrhage from the recanalized perforators may occur in the infarcted zone. The following is a report of such a case. This 66-year-old-man with normotension suffered from
BACKGROUND
Although prognostically and socially significant for both patients and their caregivers, poststroke urinary incontinence (PSUI) is often easily overlooked or is not well studied because of its clinical variety in humans.
RESULTS
A 45-year-old woman with poorly controlled hypertension
OBJECTIVE
To determine factors associated with recovery from poststroke urinary incontinence and to estimate the impact of this recovery on stroke outcome at 3 months.
METHODS
Prospective, observational study.
METHODS
Population-based stroke register.
METHODS
Three hundred twenty-four incident cases
Neurofibromatosis is a neurocutaneous genetic condition with dysplasia of the mesodermal and ectodermal tissues. Vascular abnormalities are well recognized in neurofibromatosis and cerebral aneurysms are rarely reported in literature. Here, we present a 20-year-old Sri Lankan female presented with
A 74-year-old right-handed man with multiple cerebral infarction who presented with dementia simulating dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is reported. He had been well until April 20, 1987 when he developed transient right hand palsy lasting overnight. Eleven days later, he became confused,
A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with headache, dysarthria and paraparesis. Brain CT and diffusion MRI disclosed cerebral infarction at bilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territories. His symptoms and signs deteriorated in several days despite intensive antithrombotic therapy,
The regulation of bladder function is influenced by central serotonergic modulation. Several genetic polymorphisms related to serotonin control have been described in the literature. T102C polymorphism of the serotonin receptor 2A gene (5-HT2A) has been shown to be associated with certain diseases
CADASIL is an inherited arterial disease of the brain with an autosomal dominant pattern of transmission. The mapping of the affected gene in 1993 allowed us to describe the natural history of the disease. In some patients, the disease starts with attacks of migraine with aura at a mean age of 30
We report a 75-year old Japanese man with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). His family had no consanguinous marriage and his grandfather had migraine attacks. His father showed uncontrollable emotion at the age of 59 followed by
A 61-year-old woman presented with the acute onset of right lower extremity paresthesias followed within 15 minutes by complete bilateral lower extremity paralysis and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine, using a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance scanner with echo
