Corticospinal Tract Change during Motor Recovery in Patients with Medulla Infarct: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography (DTT) provide a powerful vehicle for investigating motor recovery mechanisms. However, little is known about these mechanisms in patients with medullary lesions. We used DTI and DTT to evaluate three patients presenting with motor deficits following unilateral medulla infarct. Patients were scanned three times during 1 month (within 7, 14, and 30 ...
متن کاملRestricted diffusion in Wallerian degeneration of the middle cerebellar peduncles following pontine infarction
BACKGROUND Acute Wallerian degeneration following infarction has been show to result in areas of restricted diffusion within the brain. Very few reports describe this appearance in middle cerebellar peduncles. CASE REPORT A 37 year old woman was admitted to hospital following sudden collapse and was subsequently found to have a pontine infarct. The complex clinical course resulted in MR imagi...
متن کاملDramatic recovery in acute ischemic stroke is associated with arterial recanalization grade and speed.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dramatic recovery (DR) is a predictor of stroke outcome among others. However, after successful recanalization, systematic favorable outcome is not the rule. We sought to analyze the impact of recanalization on DR in patients with acute ischemic stroke eligible for any revascularization strategies (either intravenous or endovascular). METHODS We analyzed data collected ...
متن کاملMotor cortex stimulation enhances motor recovery and reduces peri-infarct dysfunction following ischemic insult.
Recovery of motor function following stroke is believed to be supported, at least in part, by functional compensation involving residual neural tissue. The present study used a rodent model of focal ischemia and intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) to examine the behavioral and physiological effects of cortical stimulation in combination with motor rehabilitation. Adult rats were trained to cr...
متن کاملOcular Motor Function in Patients with Bilateral Vestibular Weakness
Introduction: Patients with bilateral weakness (BW) have many difficulties in gaze stability that interfere with their normal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular motor functions in patients with BW to better understand the problem of gaze instability in these patients. Materials and Methods: Patients were referred from the Otolaryngology Department for Vestibular Assessmen...
