Homolateral ataxia and crural paresis: a crossed cerebral-cerebellar diaschisis.

Homolateral ataxia and crural paresis: a syndrome of anterior cerebral artery territory infarction.

Five patients with superficial anterior cerebral artery territory infarcts in the paracentral area are reported, who developed a hemiparesis which was predominant in the leg, and with homolateral ataxia in the arm. A similar neurological picture was not observed in 1736 patients who were admitted over an eight year period to a primary care stroke centre with their first stroke. Involvement of c...

Homolateral Ataxia and Crural Paresis: a Vascular Syndrome.

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis: occurrence and resolution demonstrated with PET during carotid temporary balloon occlusion.

Diaschisis is the depression of regional neuronal metabolism and cerebral blood flow (CBF) caused by dysfunction in an anatomically separate but functionally related neuronal region. It is most commonly recognized in association with stroke. Over 50% of patients with well-defined cerebral hemispheric lesions demonstrate crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) as diminished CBF, oxygen consumption (...

Ataxic hemiparesis from strategic frontal white matter infarction with crossed cerebellar diaschisis.

BACKGROUND Ataxic hemiparesis is a classic lacunar syndrome that most often localizes to the pons. RESULTS We report 3 patients who presented with left-sided ataxic hemiparesis and were found on imaging to have small right frontal subcortical white matter infarcts in similar locations by diffusion-weighted MRI. [99mTc]hexamethylpropylenamine oxime single-photon emission computed tomography (S...

Transient crossed cerebellar diaschisis secondary to cerebral hyperperfusion following carotid endarterectomy.

We report a case of transient crossed cerebellar diaschisis secondary to cerebral hyperperfusion following carotid endarterectomy. The appearance of crossed cerebellar diaschisis under the presence of cerebral hyperperfusion may suggest the development of hyperperfusion syndrome.
