Surgical resection of epileptogenic cortical dysplasia in precentral gyrus☆
We present the case of a patient with epilepsy arising from cortical dysplasia in his precentral gyrus. The lesion was resected based on the results of video-ECoG (electrocorticograph) monitoring and electrical cortical stimulation. The patient has been seizure-free for 1 year since operation, and no neurological deficits have been observed. We discuss possible mechanisms of cortical reorganiza...
متن کاملAn intraoperative multimodal neurophysiologic approach to successful resection of precentral gyrus epileptogenic lesions.
Cortical dysplasias (CDs) are highly epileptogenic lesions with a good prognosis of seizure freedom, if totally resected. However, their accurate delineation and resection can be difficult, and depend on the extent of pathology and lesion location. Intraoperative neurophysiologic assessments are valuable in these situations. We present an illustrative case of intractable epilepsy where judiciou...
متن کاملFocal precentral gyrus involvement in osmotic demyelination
THE CASE A previously well 59-year-old woman was admitted to a regional hospital with subacute encephalopathy and found to have severe hyponatraemia (101mmol/L). She had taken indapamide for hypertension over the preceding 3months. Before referral to neurological services, she had received intravenous hypertonic saline. Her serum sodium concentration normalised within a few days, but was associ...
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 کاملPrecentral gyrus functional connectivity signatures of autism
Motor impairments are prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and are perhaps the earliest symptoms to develop. In addition, motor skills relate to the communicative/social deficits at the core of ASD diagnosis, and these behavioral deficits may reflect abnormal connectivity within brain networks underlying motor control and learning. Despite the fact that motor abnormalities...
