Ipsilateral hemiparesis after putaminal hemorrhage due to uncrossed pyramidal tract.
OBJECTIVE Previous case reports supported the presence of the uncrossed pyramidal tract in exceptional patients. However, most of these case reports have not fully discussed involvement of the motor cortex controlling the ipsilateral limbs. DESIGN AND METHOD The authors investigated a 62-year-old man who developed right hemiparesis after right putaminal hemorrhage by using MRI, transcranial m...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted and perfusion MRI demonstrates parenchymal changes in complex partial status epilepticus.
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and perfusion MRI (PI) have been mainly applied in acute stroke, but may provide information in the peri-ictal phase in epilepsy patients. Both transient reductions of brain water diffusion, namely a low apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and signs of hyperperfusion have been reported in experimental and human epilepsy case studies. We studied 10 patients with co...

متن کاملAberrant Pyramidal Tract in Comparison with Pyramidal Tract on Diffusion Tensor Tractography: A Mini-Review
The pyramidal tract (PT) is a major neural tract that controls voluntary movements in the human brain. The PT has several collateral pathways, including the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT), which passes through the medial lemniscus location at the midbrain and pons. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) allows visualization and estimation of the APT in three dimensions. In this mini-review, eight ...
متن کاملAbnormal brain MRI diffusion-weighted imaging in a case of Opalski syndrome.
To cite: Deshpande A, Shetty A, Pai AR, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201695 DESCRIPTION Opalski syndrome is the presence of ipsilateral hemiplegia which is associated with symptoms of a lateral medullary syndrome. Studies confirm that the infarction, in such cases, occur at lower level than that found in lateral medullary syndrome. Th...
