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 کاملOccipital lobe infarction: a rare presentation of bilateral giant cavernous carotid aneurysms: a case report
BACKGROUND Cavernous carotid aneurysm (CCA) represents 2-9% of all intracranial aneurysms and 15% of internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms; additionally, giant aneurysms are those aneurysms that are > 25 mm in size. Bilateral CCAs account for 11-29% of patients and are commonly associated with structural weaknesses in the ICA wall, secondary to systemic hypertension. CCAs are considered benig...
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 کاملOccipital infarction with hemianopsia from carotid occlusive disease.
Extracranial internal carotid artery occlusive disease usually produces stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory or the border zone between the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. It is unusual for occipital infarction in the posterior cerebral artery territory to be caused by internal carotid artery disease despite the fact that the posterior cerebral artery may arise directly from th...
متن کاملReflex occipital lobe epilepsy
Photosensitivity is a typical feature of photosensitive epilepsy which is usually considered a form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Partial seizures featuring visual symptoms are rarely reported in photosensitive epilepsy. In this study, we describe 13 neurologically normal patients in whom daytime seizures were always induced by television and began with elementary visual hallucinations, f...
