Isolated Shoulder Weakness due to a Small Cortical Infarction
Small cortical infarctions can produce isolated motor paresis in the upper extremities. Several cases of isolated hand or finger paresis have been reported, but isolated shoulder weakness is extremely rare. We report here a patient who developed isolated shoulder weakness due to a small cortical infarction in the medial precentral gyrus.
متن کاملIsolated shoulder weakness as a result of a cortical infarction in the precentral gyrus
Since its discovery, our understanding of the primary motor cortex has continued to evolve. The presentations of rare, isolated, motor palsies of small muscle groups have heavily contributed to the characterization of the somatotopic representation of the human body on the cortex. We present a case of localized, left shoulder small muscle group weakness secondary to ischemic cerebral infarction...
متن کاملMetastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma causing hand weakness.
433 A63-YEAR-OLD-WOMAN had right hand weakness accompanying a right neck mass. Examination revealed a large right thyroid mass, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, and weakness of the right intrinsic hand muscles and adductor pollicis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Fig. 1) revealed a 6.5-cm thyroid mass (A) and a destructive lesion of C7 and T1 with spinal cord compression (B). Thyroid fine...
متن کاملIsolated Weakness of Radial-side Fingers Due to a Small Cortical Infarction
In 1909, Lhermitte described the predominant involvement of a particular group of fingers due to a central nervous system (CNS) lesion as “pseudoperipheral palsy” (1). Subsequently, many researchers have struggled to identify the primary motor cortex area associated with individual fingers via clinical, imaging (such as MRI, functional MRI or PET) and electrophysiologic methods (2). However, th...
متن کاملNeurofeedback training for a patient with thalamic and cortical infarctions.
One year after a left posterior and thalamic stroke, a 52-year-old male participant was treated with 14 weeks of theta reduction neurofeedback training. Imaging studies revealed left temporal, parietal, occipital, and bilateral thalamic infarctions along the distribution of the posterior cerebral artery. Neuropsychological testing demonstrated severe verbal memory, naming, visual tracking, and ...
