dysarthria/hemorrhage

OBJECTIVE Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a risk factor for stroke. The frequency of SDB in Japanese patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was investigated, as well as factors associated with SDB severity. METHODS Between April 2010 and April 2013, patients with ICH within 24 h of

Dysarthria is a frequent symptom in patients with stroke. The anatomical structures responsible for dysarthria have been reported in patients with lacunar infarcts, but the related lesions in patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage (BGH) have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to

A patient with chronic hypertension presented clinically with the dysarthria--clumsy hand syndrome. A CT scan demonstrated putaminal hemorrhage sparing the internal capsule. This case provides additional evidence that lacunar syndromes may not be due to lacunar infarction. The localization of

BACKGROUND The presentation of moyamoya disease (MMD) as an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is relatively frequent and in the absence of aneurysms is extremely rare. METHODS A 53-year-old male patient suddenly developed severe headache associated with dysarthria and an altered state of

Craniocervical junction (CCJ) dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) manifesting as intracerebral hemorrhage is extremely rare. We report the first case of CCJ-DAVF manifesting as pontine hemorrhage. A 69-year-old male presented with a pontine hemorrhage manifesting as a sudden onset of right

CONCLUSIONS A 75-year-old man with a recent history of transient left hemiparesis and dysarthria was referred to our hospital. Angiography showed right internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and left ICA 89% stenosis. Positron emission tomography (PET) showed decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF),

BACKGROUND Hemorrhage at presentation in primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is rare. We encountered a case of primary CNS lymphoma presenting as a growing intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS An 80-year-old man presented with mild dysarthria. Computed tomography demonstrated a round,

BACKGROUND Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease associated with arterial and venous thromboembolism and pregnancy complications. There have been several reports of APS with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with aortic dissection. However, none of

A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of fluctuating dysarthria during the past 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed old cerebral infarction of the left cerebral hemisphere with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left sylvian fissure. Cerebral angiography showed a large

Transient mutism resolving to cerebellar speech after posterior fossa surgery is a well-recognized phenomenon, particularly in pediatric patients. The anatomic basis for this postoperative functional change is unclear but may reside in the dominant superior cerebellar hemisphere or the medial deep

A case of primary pontine hemorrhage of the young was reported. He was 22 years of age, who did not have the history of hypertension. He suddenly noticed disturbance of skilled act of his right hand and speech disturbance. He was admitted to our clinic two days after the onset. Neurological
