Selective proprioceptive loss from a thalamic lacunar stroke.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an elderly woman a small thalamic infarct, documented by computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, caused proprioceptive loss contralaterally without impairment of other sensory modalities. This patient, the first so reported, demonstrates the anatomic separation of spinothalamic and dorsal column/medial lemniscus sensory modalities in the human thalamus.

Lacunar thalamic stroke with pure cerebellar and proprioceptive deficits.
Case reports of two patients with cerebellar ataxia and proprioceptive sensory loss are presented. MRI of the brain revealed lesions of the ventroposterior part of the thalamus. These patients illustrate clinically the anatomical independence of cerebellar and sensory pathways in the thalamus. We suggest that the ataxic deficit is caused by interruption of cerebellar outflow pathways in the tha...
متن کاملPure sensory stroke. Clinical-radiological correlates of 21 cases.
BACKGROUND Although pure sensory stroke is a relatively common lacunar syndrome, the responsible lesions are often unidentified because of their small size. I reported 21 cases of pure sensory stroke in which the lesions could be identified by head computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging and correlated the clinical findings with the radiological lesions. SUMMARY OF REPORT Eleven...
متن کاملSensory symptoms and signs and results of quantitative sensory thermal testing in patients with lacunar infarct syndromes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative data on sensory impairment in stroke patients are limited. We measured the perception thresholds for temperature and thermal pain in patients with different lacunar syndromes, correlated the results with clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and studied the long-term prognosis of sensory dysfunction. METHODS Quantitative thermal testing wa...
متن کاملWhen is sensorimotor stroke a lacunar syndrome?
Forty five patients with clear sensorium and no neurological deficits other than unilateral motor and sensory impairment underwent computed tomography (CT). Twenty patients had sensorimotor stroke with impairment of all sensory modalities (type 1). Eight had only impairment of nociceptive sensation (type 2) and 15 had only proprioceptive impairment (type 3). Two patients had sensory impairment ...
متن کاملLacunar Syndromes--Where is the Lesion?
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate different imaging localizations of the classical Lacunar syndromes, including multiplicity of lacunes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care municipal hospital over 2 years. Patients with clinical Lacunar syndromes, confirmed on imaging, were evaluated for etiopathogenetic factors, lesion localization, and presence...
