Hemichorea Resulting from Ischemic Stroke in the Ipsilateral Caudate Nucleus

Ipsilateral Hemichorea-hemiballism in a Case of Postoperative Stroke

BACKGROUND Ipsilateral hemiballismus refers to the rare occurrence of hemiballism developing on the same side of a brain lesion. CASE REPORT We describe a rare case of postoperative ipsilateral hemiballism in a patient who underwent pituitary adenoma resection and experienced a right internal cerebral artery territory infarct. We review the literature on hemichorea hemiballismus (HCHB) and ex...

Proliferation in the human ipsilateral subventricular zone after ischemic stroke

Cortical Stroke and Hemichorea

The authors briefly discussed the significance of neuroimaging in vascular hemichorea; however, the stroke mechanism remains unclear. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed during hospitalization demonstrated restricted diffusion in the right temporal lobe and a punctate focus of ischemia in the occipital lobe. Focal occlusion in the P2 segment of the right posterior cerebral artery (...

dysphagia in acute ischemic stroke

Introduction: Swallowing dysfunction complicates acute strokes in 25-32% of cases and directly affects patientschr('39') prognosis and recovery. Dysphagia complicates the course of acute strokes through its potential of the development of chest infection, nutritional problems, and dehydration.  Dysphagia is also an independent predictor of respiratory morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. In...

Hemichorea resulting from single enhancing computed tomography lesion.

A single small enhancing computerized tomographic lesion is a common finding in Indian patients with seizures, particularly focal seizures. A small single enhancing computed tomography lesion also presents with varied non-epileptic manifestations viz. focal neurological deficits, episodic vascular headache, syndrome of increased intracranial pressure, etc. Here we present a case of hemichorea r...
