MR imaging of brainstem hemorrhage.
To determine the chronologic changes in the MR appearance of brainstem hemorrhage and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of MR imaging, 15 patients were examined with a 0.5-T MR scanner with inversion-recovery (IR) and T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) images. In the acute stage (up to the sixth day), hematomas were hypo- or isointense on IR images and isointense and then hypointense on SE images. In t...
متن کاملHolmes-like tremor of the lower extremity following brainstem hemorrhage.
Holmes tremor is an arrhythmic, 2- to 5-Hz resting, postural, and kinetic upper extremity movement disorder that occurs weeks to months after acute mesencephalic pathology. We present a patient who developed tremor in three body parts postbrainstem hemorrhage with subsequent hypertrophic olivary degeneration and discuss the relevant clinical evolution. Our case is unique because in addition to ...
متن کاملEnhanced neuronal excitability in adult rat brainstem causes widespread repetitive brainstem depolarizations with cardiovascular consequences.
The brainstem of the adult rat is relatively resistant to spreading depolarization (SD) but after enhancement of excitability SD can be evoked by local application of KCl. In the present experiments, we observed that the enhanced excitability even triggers prolonged periods of repetitive depolarizations (RDs), which elicit significant cardiovascular changes. In contrast to KCl-evoked SDs with a...
متن کاملSpontaneous unilateral brainstem infarction in Swiss mice.
Spontaneous vestibular syndrome in mice, characterized clinically by head tilt, circling or rolling, can be caused by otitis media, arteritis or central nervous system lesions. Postmortem examination of eleven non-inbred Swiss mice submitted for necropsy due to acute onset of vestibular signs revealed lesions consistent with brainstem infarction. The lesions were characterized by unilateral, we...
متن کاملBrainstem neurons without spontaneous unit discharge.
A new class of single neurons showing no spontaneous activity in waking, rapid eye movement sleep, and slow-wave sleep was found in the brainstem of unrestrained cats. Systematic testing showed that these cells discharge only in response to specific stimuli and remain silent for as long as 40 minutes in the absence of stimulation. Silent cells were widely distributed in the pons and midbrain an...
