Homolateral ataxia and crural paresis: A vascular syndrome

Homolateral Ataxia and Crural Paresis: a Vascular Syndrome.

Homolateral ataxia and crural paresis: a crossed cerebral-cerebellar diaschisis.

A patient developed weakness of the right leg and homolateral ataxia of the arm, caused by a subcortical infarct in the area supplied by the anterior cerebral artery in the left paracentral region, demonstrated by CT and MRI. Cerebral blood flow studied by technetium-labelled hexamethyl-propylene-amine oxime using single photon emission computed tomography showed decreased blood flow in the lef...

Homolateral ataxia and crural paresis: a syndrome of anterior cerebral artery territory infarction.

Five patients with superficial anterior cerebral artery territory infarcts in the paracentral area are reported, who developed a hemiparesis which was predominant in the leg, and with homolateral ataxia in the arm. A similar neurological picture was not observed in 1736 patients who were admitted over an eight year period to a primary care stroke centre with their first stroke. Involvement of c...

Pure dysarthria, isolated facial paresis, or dysarthria-facial paresis syndrome.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pure dysarthria, isolated supranuclear facial paresis, and their combination without somatic motor dysfunction are rarely encountered clinical syndromes and have not yet been clearly characterized. METHODS Thirteen patients (9 men, 4 women; aged 33 to 72 [mean, 56] years) with unilateral strokes who developed dysarthria with or without facial paresis but without somatic...

Hypokalemic Paresis Revealing a Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome

Hypokalemic acidosis can complicate a primary Sjögren’s syndrome. The clinical feature is rarely revealed by manifestations due to hypokalemia. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman, admitted to explore a paresthesia and paresis of inferior limbs. The diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome was retained since there was the association of xerophthalmia, sialadenitis at the labial biopsy and positive...
