چکیده
A 48-year-old man presented with signs of pseudobulbar palsy. On computed tomography (CT) he was found to have extensive tissue loss in the region of the sylvian fissure and insula bilaterally. This appearance on CT represents the radiological correlate to anatomic descriptions of the operculum syndrome, and is useful in distinguishing the condition from pseudobulbar palsy.

In this study, laser interferometry was used to record the vibrations of both structures in response to free-field airborne sound. Contrary to expectation, the operculum appears to be coupled to the footplate. Coupling is achieved both by means of ligame...
