Antero-posterior localization of the pyramidal tract in the internal capsule in a living patient.

چکیده
A lacunar infarction occurred in the posterior limb of the internal capsule in a 33-years-old Colombian woman, showed an antero-posterior (A-P) course of the corticospinal pathway. Anatomical and histological studies had suggested this course, but to the author's knowledge, this could be the first reported case of a living patient with such features, confirming those previous reports about them.

Mapping of fiber orientation in human internal capsule by means of polarized light and confocal scanning laser microscopy.
The nervous fibers in the human internal capsule were mapped according to their three-dimensional orientation. Four human cadaver brains were cut into comparable and standardized sections parallel to the ACPC-plane, stained with DiI, and analyzed using a combination of confocal and polarized light microscopy at the same time. This combination provides information about the structure and orienta...
متن کاملWallerian degeneration of the pyramidal tract in capsular infarction studied by magnetic resonance imaging.
Using magnetic resonance imaging, we studied 24 patients with ischemic infarction of the internal capsule. Magnetic resonance imaging detected wallerian degeneration of the pyramidal tract below the capsular lesion in 11 patients (45.8%); all 11 had clinical evidence of pyramidal tract damage. In six additional patients magnetic resonance imaging findings, present only on axial slices, were con...
متن کاملDetection of pyramidal tract lesions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with magnetization-transfer measurements.
PURPOSE To determine the presence of small lesions in the pyramidal tract in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by using magnetization-transfer (MT) measurements and MR imaging. METHODS MT ratios (MTRs) were measured in the posterior limb of the internal capsule in nine patients with ALS and in nine healthy volunteers. RESULTS The mean value of MTRs (%) in patients with ALS w...
متن کاملVery early demonstration of secondary pyramidal tract degeneration by computed tomography.
BACKGROUND While magnetic resonance imaging has revealed progressive changes in the pyramidal tract in accordance with histopathologic stages of wallerian degeneration secondary to a supratentorial lesion, computed tomography (CT) has only demonstrated a shrinkage of the pyramidal tract in the midbrain or pons during the chronic stage. We present a patient with frontoparietal subcortical hemorr...
متن کاملIntravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to Treat Posterior Capsule Neovascularization
We report a 64-year-old diabetic woman who developed neovascularization of the posterior capsule 2 years after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. The patient was treated with single injection of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) via pars plana. After one week, complete regression of the posterior capsule neovascularization was achieved allowing us to perform Nd: YAG...
