Neurocysticercosis and pure motor hemiparesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 49-year-old man with meningeal cysticercosis presented with a pure motor hemiparesis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a capsular infarction and a suprasellar cyst with surrounding arachnoiditis. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis confirmed the diagnosis as it showed positive immunologic reactions to cysticerci. This is the first reported case of pure motor hemiparesis due to a parasitic disease of the central nervous system.

Syndromes of hemiparetic lacunar infarction include pure motor hemiparesis and ataxic hemiparesis. Twelve such patients were evaluated with somatosensory evoked potentials. Potentials were delayed or absent in all 4 patients with ataxic hemiparesis and in 1 of 8 patients with pure motor hemiparesis. Unlike pure motor hemiparesis, ataxic hemiparesis appears to be associated with abnormal somatos...

A review of 850 acute unselected stroke cases at Harlem Hospital found only 25 (3%) who met a clinical definition of pure motor hemiparesis. Compared to other cerebral infarction survivors, the 23 pure motor syndrome survivors were slightly younger, not much more often hypertensive and did not make a faster recovery. The degree of motor deficit a year later was nearly the same in both groups. B...
