Cerebral Hemiplegia following Diphtheria

Neurological complications following diphtheria

Unilateral rheumatoid arthritis following hemiplegia.

Hemiplegia may sometimes give rise to peculiar and painful syndromes affecting the paralysed side: these include what has been described as the "shoulder hand syndrome" (Swan, 1954) as well as a "hemi-arthropathy" (Euziere, Pages, Lafon, Mirouze, and Salvaing, 1949) similar in some ways to that seen in Parkinsonism (Perrin and Louyot, 1939). Perhaps even less well known and of great scientific ...

Hemiplegia due to posterior cerebral artery occlusion.

BACKGROUND Hemiplegia is a rare manifestation of posterior cerebral artery occlusion. The acute clinical picture may be difficult to differentiate from occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. A mechanism for the hemiplegia has not been conclusively determined. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a patient with hemiplegia secondary to posterior cerebral artery occlusion by an embolized fragment of a...

Infantile hemiplegia treated by removing one cerebral hemisphere.

This preliminary communication is concerned with what I believe to be a new approach to the problem of the infantile hemiplegias. It is as well however to point out at the outset that the term infantile hemiplegia is employed here in a wide sense, and that some of the cases would, in a strict attempt at classification, fall clearly into the Little's group. The work on which the present report i...

Temporary hemiplegia from cerebral injection of diodrast during catheter aortography.

Brain damage manifested by convulsions, hemiplegia, or death may result whenever concentrated Diodrast is injected into the cerebral circulation. Reactions are fairly common following cerebral angiography but may follow contrast visualization of the thoracic aorta by any method. The greatest danger is in aortography when the maximum dye concentration is in the aortic arch. The reactions probabl...
