Medial Medullary Infarction
Background and Purpose—Clinical-imaging correlation and long-term clinical outcomes remain to be investigated in medial medullary infarction (MMI). Methods—We studied clinical, MRI, and angiographic data of 86 consecutive MMI patients. The lesions were correlated with clinical findings, and long-term outcomes, divided into mild and severe (modified Rankin scale 3), were assessed by telephone in...
متن کاملLateral and Medial Medullary Infarction
Background and Purpose—No large-scale study has ever compared the clinical and radiological features of lateral medullary infarction (LMI) and medial medullary infarction (MMI). The aim of this study was to investigate them through the use of cooperatively collected cases. Methods—Medical information on all patients from 1996 to 2000 with medullary infarction (MI) proven by brain MR images at 3...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of medial medullary infarction.
Medial medullary infarction is characterized by ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy, contralateral hemiparesis sparing the face, and contralateral disturbance of deep sensation. Although it is possible to make a clinical diagnosis in typical patients, diagnosis is difficult if hypoglossal nerve palsy is absent. We describe a patient with medial medullary infarction without hypoglossal nerve pal...
متن کاملMedial medullary infarction with contralateral glossoplegia
There is a relative lack of information on the course of corticohypoglossal projections in the human brain stem, 2 especially in the medulla. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 11 patients with ischaemic lesions at different brain stem levels, Urban et al showed that pontine lesions at the ventral paramedian base close to the midline affected the con...
متن کاملTetraplegia Following Bilateral Medial Medullary Infarction
Bilateral medial medullary infarction is rare. We report a 54-year-old man who presented with a 3-day history of dysarthria and progressive weakness in all four limbs. He suffered from respiratory failure 10 days later. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed acute infarction of the bilateral medial medulla, characterized by a typical heart-shaped sign. Intravenous heparin was given for his cer...
