Confabulations after Bilateral Consecutive Strokes of the Lenticulostriate Arteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a 75-year-old woman who manifested persistent confabulations after two consecutive strokes encompassing the area of the lenticulostriate arteries territory on both hemispheres. Findings reported on this rare clinical syndrome suggest that fantastic confabulations and delusional thoughts may arise after bilateral damage of subcortical nonthalamic structures.

Bilateral occipital brain damage results in blindness, and patients start to confabulate to fill in the missing sensory input.

Introduction & Objectives: Previous studies have revealed that induction of two kidney-one clip (2K1C) Goldblatt hypertension in rats eliminates hypertensive response after inactivating of the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala (CA). The present study investigated the possibility of alteration in local Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) activity in CA after hypertension induction and evaluation of car...
متن کاملBranching pattern of middle cerebral artery in an African population.
Branching pattern of middle cerebral artery influences frequency of its aneurysms, and is of potential value in their surgical repair and diagnosis of stroke. This pattern shows inter-population variations but there is paucity of data from Africans. This study aimed at describing branching pattern among black Kenyans. Middle cerebral arteries numbering 288 from 144 formalin fixed brains obtaine...

A 13-month-old boy presented to our hospital with a history of right hemiparesis and right facial paresis for 2 days. These symptoms occurred several hours after a fall from a bed to the ground. AnMRI of the brain showed an ischemic lesion and cerebral ultrasound examinations demonstrated bilaterally hyperechogenic lenticulostriate arteries (figure). Infantile basal ganglia stroke after mild he...
متن کاملObservation of the lenticulostriate arteries in the human brain in vivo using 7.0T MR angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to examine the feasibility of observing the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) noninvasively by ultrahigh-field MRI with 7.0T. METHODS We used 3-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography with a radiofrequency coil optimized for 7.0T MRI. We examined the LSAs of 6 healthy subjects and compared 7.0T MR angiography images with 1.5T ones to examine the potentials of...
