Delayed Hemichorea Following Temporal–Occipital Lobe Infarction
The presence of hemichorea associated with a lesion in the cortex is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 62-year-old female who developed delayed left hemichorea after an ischemic infarct in the right temporal–occipital lobe. This case is unique because of the location of infarct and expands our knowledge of hemichorea arising after an ischemic stroke. A 62-year-old female patient was initi...
متن کاملReorganization of Retinotopic Maps after Occipital Lobe Infarction
We studied patient JS, who had a right occipital infarct that encroached on visual areas V1, V2v, and VP. When tested psychophysically, he was very impaired at detecting the direction of motion in random dot displays where a variable proportion of dots moving in one direction (signal) were embedded in masking motion noise (noise dots). The impairment on this motion coherence task was especially...
متن کاملHyperfamiliarity for unknown faces after left lateral temporo-occipital venous infarction: a double dissociation with prosopagnosia.
Right hemisphere dominance in face processing is well established and unilateral right inferior temporo-occipital damage can result in prosopagnosia. Here, we describe a 21-year-old right-handed woman with acute impairment in face recognition that selectively concerned unfamiliar faces, following a focal left lateral temporo-occipital venous infarct. She was severely impaired in discerning that...
متن کاملMirror Focus in a Patient with Intractable Occipital Lobe Epilepsy
Mirror focus is one of the evidence of progression in epilepsy, and also has practical points for curative resective epilepsy surgery. The mirror foci are related to the kindling phenomena that occur through interhemispheric callosal or commissural connections. A mirror focus means the secondary epileptogenic foci develop in the contralateral hemispheric homotopic area. Thus mirror foci are mos...
متن کاملOccipital Lobe Infarction due to Acute Hydrocephalus Secondary to Third Ventricle Colloid Cyst in a Child
Colloid cysts comprise 0.5 to 1% of intracranial tumors that are most commonly diagnosed in third to fifth decade of life.1,2 These benign tumors are generally seen in the anterosuperior portion of the third ventricle and are by far the most common of the intraventricular masses here.3,4 Colloid cysts are of endodermal (foregut) origin and are lined by pseudostratified, cuboidal, or columnar ep...
