We previously observed spotty hyperintense lesions in the region of the perforating arteries on peri-ictal diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); however, no report has formally described these findings. The aim of this study was to investigate focal intensities on peri-ictal DWI, and to evaluate the
OBJECTIVE
To identify incidence and predictors of late seizures (LS, occurring >1 week of stroke) in a cohort of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
METHODS
Prospective cohort of consecutive adults with spontaneous ICH. Incidence and predictors were identified with Cox regression. We
We report a 83 year-old woman with dementia. She was apparently well until December of 1993 when she was 81-year-old. At that time, she was operated or her cataract. Her post operative course was uneventful, however, shortly after her operation, she had an onset of memory loss and abnormal behavior.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the profile of late epileptic seizures following cerebral infarcts and the predictive clinical and radiological factors associated with their development.
METHODS
We compared 86 patients who developed late seizures after cerebral infarction with 285 similar patients who did
BACKGROUND
Late-onset epilepsy (LOE), onset over 60, is often attributed to cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and is associated with increased stroke risk. We investigated the radiological prevalence of CVD in LOE.
METHODS
We undertook a retrospective case-control study of patients with LOE and age and
OBJECTIVE
To compare anatomo-electro-clinical findings between patients with epilepsy associated with leukoaraiosis only (EAL) and patients with a well-defined vascular lesion, i.e. post-stroke epilepsy (PSE).
METHODS
Two hundred eighty-three subjects with epilepsy and cerebrovascular disease,
OBJECTIVE
We tested the hypothesis in sense of a proof of principle that white matter (WM) degeneration after cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) can be assessed much earlier by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) than by conventional MRI.
METHODS
We performed DTI and T2-weighted FLAIR imaging over four serial
OBJECTIVE
To describe a new familial association of late-onset dementia, patchy leukoencephalopathy, intracerebral hemorrhages, bilateral occipital calcifications (BOC), and external carotid artery dysplasia (ECAD).
METHODS
At age 62, the proband, who was of Spanish descent, had left temporal
Late-onset non-lesional focal epilepsy, defined as new-onset seizures in patients older than 60 years, is diagnosed increasingly more often in relation to aging of the population. It has been attributed mainly to occult cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), although high levels of OBJECTIVE
Leukoaraiosis (chronic ischemic white matter changes) on preoperative brain magnetic resonance imaging is common in patients having aortic arch surgery. This study sought to determine whether it is associated with adverse neurologic outcome in the postoperative period.
METHODS
Data were
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and cognitive decline in the elderly. Since it is rarely reported from the developing world, we looked into the clinical profile and neuroimaging associations of CAA.Ours OBJECTIVE
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with late-onset epilepsy (LOE) who were considered at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
METHODS
Polysomnography was performed on 27 patients with LOE. Berlin questionnaires
OBJECTIVE
Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is common cause of cerebrovascular disorders that predominantly affect elderly patients. When symptomatic, cortical-subcortical intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in the elderly is the most well-known manifestation of CAA. Furthermore, the clinical
An analysis of the medical documentation and investigation of 130 cases of epilepsy diagnosed in a group of people over 50 years of age (average: 65.4 years) revealed that the most common type of seizure in the group studied was partial (66.2%), followed by seizures with secondary generalization
Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare heterogeneous progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the presence of eosinophilic hyaline intranuclear inclusions in neuronal and glial cells of the CNS, peripheral cells of the autonomic nervous system, visceral organs and
