Vascular ataxic hemiparesis: a reevaluation.

Vascular ataxic hemiparesis: a re-evaluation.

Ataxic hemiparesis is commonly considered as one of the "typical" lacunar syndromes. Using the prospective stroke registries from Lausanne and Besançon, 100 patients were selected consecutively (73% men, 27% women; age 64.7 (SD 13.6) years) with a first stroke and ataxic hemiparesis (hemiparesis or pyramidal signs and ipsilateral incoordination without sensory loss). Brain CT or MRI was perform...

Capsular hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis.

Twenty-three patients with hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-two patients had infarcts of lacunar or slightly larger size in the contralateral posterior limb of the internal capsule. In 15 patients the infarct extended superiorly into the adjacent paraventricular region, and in seven it extended into the lateral thalmus. In eight ...

Thalamic lesion producing ataxic hemiparesis.

Dr. Lamy that such rates are probably a much better reflection of current risk. These studies do not specify the rates for the subgroup with relevant carotid lesions, however, making the problem of rinding appropriate "historical controls" even more vexing. Fortunately, it appears that definitive resolution will become available in the next few years, when several large European and North Ameri...

Hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis in a thalamic lacune.

Right hemiparesis with an ipsilateral hypesthesia and ataxia developed in a 57-year-old man. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left thalamic lacune bordering the medial portion of the posterior limb of the internal capsule. This finding implicated some pathogenetic mechanism of ataxic hemiparesis.
