BACKGROUND
Our understanding of brainstem swallowing centers is mainly based on experimental animals. In order to solve this problem also in humans, a clinical-anatomical study on dysphagic patients with different lesion patterns was performed.
METHODS
We studied 43 consecutively admitted dysphagic
OBJECTIVE
To assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with occupational therapy (OT) in a hemiparetic patient who had undergone brain tumour resection.
METHODS
A 39-year-old right-handed woman underwent brain tumour
OBJECTIVE
Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCT) pose significant challenges given their recurrence rate and limited treatment options. Using our previously described rat model of IMSCT, we describe a technique for microsurgical tumor resection and present the functional and histopathological
METHODS
Prospective study.
OBJECTIVE
Investigate factors associated with preoperative motor paresis, recovery, ambulatory status, and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) among patients with no preoperative paresis (N group), complete preoperative motor recovery (CR group), and no
The clinical syndrome of pure motor hemiparesis occurs with lacunar lesions in the internal capsule or in the basis pontis in hypertensive adults. It has been described in three patients with brain stem tumors of which two were children. A 3 1/2 years old boy with a brain stem tumor which presented
PRUPOSE: To report a patient who developed an isolated inferior rectus paresis due to a pineal gland tumor, and to our knowledge never reported before. Our purpose is also to demonstrate that, even in partial and mild inferior rectus muscle paresis, the findings of the inhibitional palsy described
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate whether in patients with acoustic neuroma (AN), the presence or absence of vestibular symptoms is related to the histologic characteristics of the tumor.
METHODS
The study design was a retrospective clinical study.
METHODS
The study was conducted at a
OBJECTIVE
To look for changes in the motor cortex in patients with brain tumors.
METHODS
Both cerebral hemispheres in seven patients with brain tumors were examined with functional MR imaging during a motor task performed by the hand opposite the site of tumor. The ratio of the activated area in the
Four patients showed signs of femoral nerve compression with subsequent paresis of the quadriceps muscle, after radiation therapy of malignant tumours. The compression was caused by scar tissue due to radiation treatment of the inguinal region. The first symptom was radiating pain in the front of
CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of facial nerve paresis was not high compared with previously reported incidences using conventional operative techniques, showing the safety of the use of an electric knife in this operative technique. An electric knife is provided in almost all operating rooms and no
An unusual case of a pediatric epidermoid tumor entirely located in the cavernous sinus is reported. A 6-year-old boy presented with left abducens nerve paresis which developed over 2 months. Neuroimaging demonstrated a lesion in the left cavernous sinus. Part of the tumor capsule and the pearly
A case of recurrent pituitary apoplexy is described in a 72-year-old man who initially presented with haemorrhage in a non-functioning pituitary adenoma. Five years later, he re-presented with a severe pituitary haemorrhage in an enlarging sellar mass invading both cavernous sinuses causing
BACKGROUND
No studies exist dealing with the outcome of dysphagic patients with posterior fossa (IV. ventricle) tumours (PFT) or cerebellar hemorrhage (CH), and the outcome of patients with Wallenberg's syndrome (WS) after functional swallowing therapy (FST) has so far not been studied in detail.
Acute pure motor hemiparesis is a clinical syndrome of isolated hemiparesis usually related to lacunar infarction, although other etiologies have been described. We recently encountered three patients with the abrupt onset of pure motor hemiparesis as the initial manifestation of primary or
Out of 19 patients with unilateral laryngeal paresis, 8 patients developed the paresis early after strumectomy, 4 had lung tumors, 2 tumors of the esophagus, 2 stab cervical wounds, 2 aortal arch dilatation, 1 patient had retrosternal goiter. Peripheral paralysis of the recurrent nerve is caused
