Isolated Shoulder Weakness due to a Small Cortical Infarction
Small cortical infarctions can produce isolated motor paresis in the upper extremities. Several cases of isolated hand or finger paresis have been reported, but isolated shoulder weakness is extremely rare. We report here a patient who developed isolated shoulder weakness due to a small cortical infarction in the medial precentral gyrus.
متن کاملA Rare Presentation of Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy due to Multiple Sclerosis in a Child
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating, neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) of unknown etiology. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is found rarely in children with MS. We present a case of MS in 10-year-old boy, who had bilateral ptosis associated with medial gaze restriction. The extraocular muscle examination demonstrated bilateral adduction pa...
متن کاملIsolated Weakness of Radial-side Fingers Due to a Small Cortical Infarction
In 1909, Lhermitte described the predominant involvement of a particular group of fingers due to a central nervous system (CNS) lesion as “pseudoperipheral palsy” (1). Subsequently, many researchers have struggled to identify the primary motor cortex area associated with individual fingers via clinical, imaging (such as MRI, functional MRI or PET) and electrophysiologic methods (2). However, th...
متن کاملNeurofibroma: Report of a rare clinical presentation
Neurofibroma is a tumor composed of a complex proliferation of neuromesenchymal tissue (Schwann cells, perineural cells, fibroblast, and mast cells). We report a 45-year-old female who had a slow growing, large, soft, pedunculated mass on her left lateral neck. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of neurofibroma.
متن کاملSuperior Vena Cava Syndrome due to Thrombosis: A Rare Paraneoplastic Presentation of Bronchogenic Carcinoma
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not an uncommon occurrence in patients with malignancy and it is often described as a medical emergency. In majority of the cases, SVC syndrome occurs due to mechanical obstruction of the SVC by extraluminal compression with primary intrathoracic malignancies. However, intraluminal obstruction due to thrombosis can also produce symptoms and signs of SVC synd...
