Infantile basal ganglia stroke after mild head trauma.
A 13-month-old boy presented to our hospital with a history of right hemiparesis and right facial paresis for 2 days. These symptoms occurred several hours after a fall from a bed to the ground. AnMRI of the brain showed an ischemic lesion and cerebral ultrasound examinations demonstrated bilaterally hyperechogenic lenticulostriate arteries (figure). Infantile basal ganglia stroke after mild he...
متن کاملFocal Hand Dystonia Secondary to Basal Ganglia Germinoma
Descriptions of symptomatic focal dystonia caused by focal lesions of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare in the literature. We report a 9-year-old child who experienced sudden-onset left-hand dystonia for 6 months. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass lesion involving the putamen, globus pallidus, head of caudate, and the anterior limb of the internal capsule. Histopathological...
متن کاملThe direct basal ganglia pathway is hyperfunctional in focal dystonia.
Focal dystonias are the most common type of isolated dystonia. Although their causative pathophysiology remains unclear, it is thought to involve abnormal functioning of the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuitry. We used high-resolution research tomography with the radioligand C-NNC-112 to examine striatal dopamine D1 receptor function in two independent groups of patients, writer’s cramp an...
متن کاملUnilateral globus pallidus internus stimulation improves delayed onset post-traumatic cervical dystonia with an ipsilateral focal basal ganglia lesion.
Treatment with unilateral left globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation is reported in a patient with severe delayed onset post-traumatic cervical dystonia. He had sustained severe head trauma at the age of 17 and had developed a mild right hemiparesis. Three years after the head injury, cervical dystonia with head turning to the left side developed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
متن کاملOculomotor nerve enhancement after mild head trauma.
A 32-year-old woman presented with vertical diplopia after a blunt head injury due to a vehicle crash. On examination 2 weeks after the trauma, she had a pupil-involving right third-nerve palsy. The absence of intorsion when looking downward starting from an abducted eye-in-orbit position suggested a concomitant fourth nerve palsy. T1weighted brain MR imaging revealed marked gadolinium enhancem...
