Positive Correlation between Severity of Blepharospasm and Thalamic Glucose Metabolism
A 43-year-old woman with drug-related blepharospasm was followed up for 22 months. She had undergone etizolam treatment for 19 years for indefinite complaints. We examined her cerebral glucose metabolism 5 times (between days 149 and 688 since presentation), using positron emission tomography, and identified regions of interest in the thalamus, caudate nucleus, putamen, and primary somatosensor...
متن کاملCorrelation between dizziness and impaired glucose metabolism.
INTRODUCTION Impaired glucose metabolism is characterized by conditions of hypo and hyperglycemia. AIM The objective of the present study was to asses whether or not there is a relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and dizziness. In the clinical laboratory settings, patients were examined using vectoelectronystagmography in association with glycemic levels. METHODS 33 patients we...
متن کاملBrain glucose metabolism in thalamic syndrome.
Regional brain glucose metabolism was studied in a case of postischaemic thalamic syndrome. Despite a normal density of the thalamus on MRI and CT images, a 17% relative hypometabolism was found in the posterior thalamus on the affected side. This observation of functional anomalies in the posterior thalamic complex in case of thalamic syndrome is compatible with a deregulated processing of pai...
متن کاملThalamic, brainstem, and cerebellar glucose metabolism in the hemiplegic monkey.
Unilateral ablation of cerebral cortical areas 4 and 6 of Brodmann in the macaque monkey results in a contralateral hemiplegia that resolves partially with time. During the phase of dense hemiplegia, local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (1CMRG1c) is decreased significantly in most of the thalamic nuclei ipsilateral to the ablation, and there are slight contralateral decreases. The lCMRGlc ...
متن کاملAcute exotropia and blepharospasm due to bilateral paramedian thalamic infarct
Hypersomnolent state, severe amnesia, transient coma and vertical gaze abnormalities are characteristic features of bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts. Vergence disorders or blepharospasm has recently been reported but there is no study reporting blepharospasm together with exotropia. In this paper, we present a case with bilateral paramedian thalamic infarct who had blepharospasm and acute...
